Hi Paula, have answered in capital letters below your questions:
1. Employment references for the 4 years before application:- Submitted letter from employer in Scotland but all it stated was my hubbys name, period of employment and his job breastle. The dealership he worked at has been sold so what do we do now??? I have hubbys P60's and P45 but nothing to state what his duties were. Will a declaration be sufficient for DIMA's purposes and what should it say?? For the last 3 odd years hubby has worked in Saudi Arabia and we submitted a letter from his manager stating all the required details and also included a copy of his contract. Can I just refer my case officer back to what was submitted or do I need to send additional proof???
REFER THEM TO THE INFO YOU SENT THEM ABOUT SAUDI, THAT SHOULD BE SUFFICIENT. IS THERE ANYWAY YOU CAN GET HOLD OF YOUR HUSBANDS OLD BOSS? IF NOT - THEN A STAT DEC MAY BE OK - BUT I'M NOT SURE SORRY.
LAFHA and ContractHi everyone, I was on a 4 year 457 visa that hasn't expired yet but my LAFHA with the company was for a period...
2. Oldest son's first name differs on his pbuttport to what is shown in his birth certificate. His birth certificate is correct and we think that the name is different due to a typing error on the part of the pbuttport issuing authority. It is only one letter in the name that is different. Can we just send an email to confirm this or is it better to do a declaration??
THIS IS INTERESTING - DID DIMIA PICK UP ON THIS? I HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM, MY NAME WAS INCORRECTLY SPELT ON MY BIRTH CERTIFICATE. UP TO YET THIS HAS NOT BEEN A PROBLEM WITH GETTING RESIDENT VISAS FOR WHERE WE LIVE NOW, JUST NEVER THOUGHT IT WOULD RAISE AN ISSUE WITH DIMIA - AM INTERESTED IN YOUR RESPONSE.
A STAT DEC WOULD PROBABLY BE SUFFICIENT THOUGH AS AN EXPLANATION FOR DIMIA
3. Main applicant needs to sit the IELTS test - first test date available where we are is in June. We don't want to wait this long as this will delay everything and we want to enter AUS during our next annual holidays in July. If we were to apply for STNI for South Australia would the IELTS still be needed?? Although we are from South Africa we lived and worked in the UK for over 4 years - would this be enough??
SORRY, CAN'T HELP YOU HERE.
I'm a bit vague I know, but just wanted to help you. good luck : )
