Jambos Posted October 10, 2011 Share Posted October 10, 2011 For me i am not bothered about update this time, i am happy that things are moving again nicely and we all know that whatever DIAC say, they are usually alot further along. I'm happy happy that they have just reached March:jiggy: won't be long now and the hardest part of the 6 months wait is almost over:cute: I just want to know one way or the other if we have met the Job criteria as this is the most worry for me. I'm still not sure we have been given the right advice by my agent. But it's done now and we wait.........:unsure: We share the same worry in terms of the criteria concern!!:skeptical: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eng32 Posted October 10, 2011 Share Posted October 10, 2011 We share the same worry in terms of the criteria concern!!:skeptical: You would think that when you spend so much time, money and effort on a skills assessment from a leading body in Australia that it would be enough, as why do they ask you to do it, but DIAC see it differently. :twitcy: It's this that keeps me awake at night Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jayzlet Posted October 10, 2011 Share Posted October 10, 2011 I am also April and want to get meds n pcc done, but Hubby won't have a bar of it and says we have to wait to be asked :rolleyes: Good luck to us:hug: haha... my hubs is the same! But I'm way too impatient... I think we're going to compromise and I will book our meds in for November! I want to go to Oz nowwwwwww :smile:... But yes, ppl have been waiting way longer than us! I don't know how you all manage it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jayzlet Posted October 10, 2011 Share Posted October 10, 2011 We share the same worry in terms of the criteria concern!!:skeptical: Do they often come back to people on the job critieria then? My references from my employers were very vague... they just gave dates of my employment and job title, although I know they were supposed to give my 5 main tasks but standard job references don't usually do that. Is this something to worry about? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is this something to worry about? I really don't know, We have given Job ref from boss, pay slip, P60's, i was just hoping that OH's job is closely related enough to his skills assessment.:cry: But i think you have to have the 5 main tasks on the ref letter. They might ask for more evidence but who knows.... Don't worry, your is probably fine:hug: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My references from my employers were very vague... they just gave dates of my employment and job title, although I know they were supposed to give my 5 main tasks but standard job references don't usually do that. Is this something to worry about? You gain 5 points if your seeked occupation worth 50 points what ever your "3 year work experience" is closely related to your seeked occupation or not.And you gain 10 points if your "3 year work experience" worth 60 but it is a must to be closely related to your seeked occupation. Be noted that the 3 yrs work experience must be at one occupation from SOL listed before July 2011. I think that may help you. :notworthy::notworthy::notworthy: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
