175 Subclass Visa Application - Submission


Recommended Posts

Dear All,

 

I am in process of submitting my 175 visa online. I started filling details online and had doubts at certain things. These are very basic doubts, but I thought it would be good to ask or double check before submitting my application.

 

My queries are very simple, but it may be difficult to understand what as it is specific to my situation. However, anyone can help me who has already submitted visa application.

 

Currently I am working in Australia on 457 visa. I am in IT. I am not using Agent.

 

1.

"Countries of Residence

Provide details of all countries in which you, your spouse/de facto partner or dependents (migrating or not) have lived for 12 months or more (since turning 16) during

 

the last 10 years. The 12 month period of residence may be made up of a number of shorter periods. You must account for every year."

 

I lived in 3 countries

a) Home Country - by birth

b) Another Country - less than 12 months

c) Australia - more than 12 months and currently staying

 

Question: What should I fill in section "Countries of Residence" as shown above. I think Australia, but what should I fill in "Date Till" section as currently I am staying. Should I fill 15-Oct-09.

 

2.

"Applicant skills assessment

Date of Skills Assessment -

Reference/Receipt number "

 

Question: Which date should I fill, the date on my ACS letter or the date on which I submitted my application to ACS. I think date on ACS letter. Please confirm.

 

And which reference # should I fill, I can see 2 reference # in ACS letter. One says "Our Reference #" and another says "Your Reference #"

 

3.

"Occupation in demand

If Yes, has a suitable Australian employer offered you a job in that occupation?

"

 

Question: I am currently working in Australia. What should I answer of above question.

 

4.

"Applicant professional year in Australia

You may be eligible for points if you have completed a professional year in Australia related to your nominated occupation or a closely related occupation for 12 out of

the 48 months immediately before lodging this application.

 

If yes, name of professional year "

 

Question: This one is just to confirm, I am here working from 2008. So, should I fill 2008, 2009. Please confirm.

 

5. "Details of applicant overseas qualification

Specific Dates "

 

Question: Are the exact date important here, I remember only month not dates. Even degree , certificate etc. all have only months detail not date. What should I fill, approx date ?

 

6. "Details of applicant past employment "

 

Question: What should I fill in "End Date" of current employment as I am currently working. Should I fill 15-Oct-09 ?

 

7. "Applicant language ability

Test Reference #"

 

Question: In my IELTS result, there is no "Test Reference #", I have "Test Report Form Number". What should I fill ?

 

8. "Designated language points

 

You may be eligible for designated language points.

I have completed a qualification equivalent to an Australian degree gained from a university where the language of instruction was in one of Australia's

community languages.

"

 

Question: I have completed my qualification in English, but I can't see any option of "English". Should I fill language of my home country ?

 

I hope someone will answer my queries which will help me as well as other who will read this and are in process of applying visa.

 

Appreciate your help. And ask me if my queries are not clear.

Hi, I've tried to answer those that I can from my application....

 

 

1. yes todays date (or the date you submit)

2. yes date on ACS letter

3. is your nominated occupation on the MODL? Is the job you are currently doing the same? If so then yes you have an offer of a job on the MODL......but if your situation changed you would need to notify DIAC after you've lodges your application.

 

4 - sorry i didnt complete

5. I put specific dates (from my certs i needed for skills assessment). Not sure if you have to.

6 . yes I put todays date

7. yes i put the TRFN

8, If you only have english you're not elgible for the extra points for a community language.

Now, after clarifying few questions above, I have doubts in following sequence referencing my 1st post

 

4.

"Applicant professional year in Australia

You may be eligible for points if you have completed a professional year in Australia related to your nominated occupation or a closely related occupation for 12 out of

the 48 months immediately before lodging this application.

 

If yes, name of professional year "

 

Question: This one is just to confirm, I am here working from 2008. So, should I fill 2008, 2009. Please confirm.

 

5. "Details of applicant overseas qualification

Specific Dates "

 

Question: Are the exact date important here, I remember only month not dates. Even degree , certificate etc. all have only months detail not date. What should I fill, approx date ?

 

For ACS, I have only submitted months not exact dates. And +ve assessment. I am in MODL+CSL :)

 

8. "Designated language points

 

You may be eligible for designated language points.

I have completed a qualification equivalent to an Australian degree gained from a university where the language of instruction was in one of Australia's

community languages.

"

 

Question: I have completed my qualification in English, but I can't see any option of "English". Should I fill language of my home country ?

 

I have studied degree in English, but my home country language is not English.

 

Hope someone will answers. Reader's please advice.

 

Last 3 question before I submit my application :)

Re Q4. You need to study the points application more closely re Professional Year - Professional year

It is not just that you have worked here whilst on a 457 Visa.

 

Re Q5. As Basil stated, just use whatever information is on your qualification.

Last thing you want to do is start making up information.

 

Re Q8 community Language - read the advice given with the points table.

You click on the description in the table and it will take you to an explanatory page.

 

Based on the information you have provided, you may not be eligible re points for 4 and 8.

 

The other thing you need to be aware of is that in applying for a 175 visa, it is an offshore visa, therefore:

1. No bridging visas apply.

2. You would have to go for a trip out of Australia when notified if the visa was coming up for granting, and hopefully you would get that advice.

 

You may want to consider an employer sponsored PR.

Regarding the first Q1. "Countries of residence" if a person has stayed for 1 month abroad do we need to mention that ? Please clarify on this.

1.

"Countries of Residence

the last 10 years. The 12 month period of residence may be made up of a number of shorter periods. You must account for every year."

 

 

Seems clear enough

 

If you had stayed in same country for periods of 1, 3, 4, 6, 8 months in previous ten years, that equals 22 m if my arithmetic is about right and so you would need to list that country.

 

If you stayed for periods of 1, 2, 1, 5, 2, that is only 11 months and so less than 12 months it does not need to be listed.

you will be able to upload all your scanned copies of your docs only after you make the payment. thiss is because you will get TRN (trans no) only after your have provided the credit card details online. Hope this helps.
