CaptainC Posted October 3, 2015 Share Posted October 3, 2015 All I can say is that none of my documents were certified. And the document checklist (which used to say that documents were to be certified) was amended in July to remove the requirement to have documents certified. Have you followed the document checklist?

Umair Rafiq Posted October 3, 2015 Share Posted October 3, 2015 Yes , I did. At the time of EOI , i got some PDF documents, one of the guidelines were " Certified copies For the purposes of the migration legislation, a document is to be certified in writing as a true copy of the original document by: if the copy is certified in Australia: ● a Justice of the Peace; or ● a Commissioner for Declarations; or ● a person before whom a statutory declaration may be made under the Statutory Declarations Act 1959 (for example a nurse, legal practitioner, medical practitioner, pharmacist or dentist); or ● a registered migration agent (whose registration is not suspended or subject to a caution). if the copy is certified outside Australia: ● a person who is the equivalent of a Justice of the Peace or Commissioner for Declarations in that place (for example a public notary); or ● a registered migration agent (whose registration is not suspended or subject to a caution).

I also have written an email to AEO for TRF verification of english test. Sometimes they don't notice documents that have been uploaded particularly if they've been uploaded in an incorrect subheading or section. The officers don't have time to go searching through a mountain of documents to locate the ones that they want so they often ask for them again. Another possible reason is that you've submitted insufficient evidence for a particular section and they want you to think about submitting more detailed evidence.

Wooba Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 Advise to read the document checklist. https://www.border.gov.au/Trav/Visa-1/189-/Skilled-Independent-visa-(subclass-189)-document-checklist The link you gave says stuff needs to be certified. "All supporting documents*must be scanned and uploaded with your application. All documents that you provide must be certified copies of original documents."

CaptainC Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 The link you gave says stuff needs to be certified. "All supporting documents*must be scanned and uploaded with your application. All documents that you provide must be certified copies of original documents." Appears that they have changed it again, it definitely didn't say that last week. Not a single one of my documents for my successful 189 visa application were certified. I applied when the old website was still active and it said that certified copies were required then, however visas have been granted for many years without being certified.

MiM Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 I thought if a document is issued in English there's no need to certify, color scan was sufficient. This is now changed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
