Australian 136 Visa refused Sender: dotnron

No, I think you are reading it right. He clearly states that he is applying for 136 visa. For OP, if you are planning to apply for send subclbutt 138, Australian sponsored, "You still must have post-secondary (such as university or trade) qualifications and your skill must have been buttessed as suitable by the relevant buttessing authority as suitable for your nominated occupation. For some 60 point occupations, relevent work experience may be acceptable." Before you can apply for send migration, you must have your skills buttessed by the relevant buttessing authority. In your original post, you stated that you asked DIMIA to verify with your college. Sorry, but it is your responsibility to ensure that they have all of the proof of education. They only verify if there is a problem, and then it is up to you as applicant to provide proof. Your CO is not going to try to find documents to support your claim for you. If you choose to reapply, then you will need to get all of the verification prior to lodging an application. The other posters are correct in suggesting you contact a MARA registered migration agent to help you. It will cost you some money, but they will be able to give you a much better idea if it is worth your while to apply again.
