RobinVanPersie Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 Hey all Im a young Irish lad here living in Perth on a WHV working on the sites and looking to get a 189/190 visa as a Construction Estimator. I have a QS degree and 3 years experience in Ireland but I will have some difficulty proving my employment to DIAC:-( Looking at doing my IELTS soon, which I would need to get 8+ for the 20 points. I'm a bit unsure about how to claim the 15 points for my degree thru VETASSESS, but I have been reading alot of threads on here and may start my own in the future:-) Thats it folkes. Any UTD fans about ere..? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WeegieDave Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 Hi RVP. What is making it difficult proving your previous employment to the DIAC. Surely if you were employed by previous companies you can request references, wage slips as well as evidence from the tax office etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobinVanPersie Posted January 22, 2013 Author Share Posted January 22, 2013 Hi all @Weegie Dave Its difficult for me as it was a family business and I never got payslips or paid tax, I was given a % of the profits which was put into a seperate bank account and also some payments were not monetary such as a car, rent, or towards building my own house. Its very complicated to explain to a person let alone to DIAC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure there will be a few on here that will be able to advise you better than me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobinVanPersie Posted January 22, 2013 Author Share Posted January 22, 2013 Yeah a agent would be good but It would kill me to pay a few thousand for something I could do myself. Also my familys company has gone bust and no longer exists and the Seinor Estimator and Project Manager have since moved to Canada and Nigeria (Yes Nigeria) to work. Also i'm considering starting my own Formworking/Concreting business however im unsure if it would be worth while as my WHV is up in August and I dont know if it would allow me to sponsor myself thru my company. Also is Foxtel worth it for the English Football? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobinVanPersie Posted January 23, 2013 Author Share Posted January 23, 2013 Hey just wondering if you can check your Super account online? I'm with CBUS and got a letter saying I havent recieved a super payment in nearly 6 months but I had 2 employers since then and on my payslips it shows the ammount of super being paid. What could be the problem? Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
