Congrats Voz... quick processing (2 months 23 days), really good. Do you mind sharing the list of docs you have attached?

Thanks mate..Yes, indeed it was quick i was expecting Rali's grant letter first and then mine later this week but i got it before that (can't ask for anything more).

I'm the only applicant. So, based on that i got a list from Noelle (another 887 applicant from this forum) and attached the following documents. Happy to give more clarification on the docs as well.

Doc list:

- Reference letter from my employer

-Employment Contract from my Employer (certified)

-Payslips (compiled all my payslips and saved in 1 pdf file, not certified)

-Group Certificates (tax statements, certified)

- Bank statements (not certified)

- Rental Bond letter and payment ledger (certified)

-Tenancy agreement (certified )

-Utility Bills (not certified)

-AFP and PCC from my country (not certified)

-Superannuation statements (not certified)

-Form 80

- Identification proof such as: Birth Certificate, Passport bio page, Driver's license, Photo ID (not certified)

If documents are scanned colored, you don't have to certify them. If they are not colored or photocopies, you have to certify them. Hope this helps. All the best with your application!

Cheers,

Voz

Congratulations Mate, and thank you for the great inputs.

would you please give the wording used in the (Reference letter from the employer) so we can follow the same?

Moreover, when you say certified, do you mean getting the documents signed by a (justice of the peace) holder?

 

Thank you again, and wish you good luck all the way through.

Thanks a lot mate. Happy to help.

Your employer already must be having a specific pattern/template on your company letterhead. I just told my boss and he gave me the letter specifying the roles and responsibilities and i'm a full time employee and date when i started.

Yes, get them signed by Justice of Peace.

Let me know if anything else is required.

Cheers,

Mate, i get really confused with this as well. So, i attached both the Payment Summary received from the employer and tax assessment statement from the ATO for both the years.

Hope this helps. Attach as many documents as you can (keep a check number of documents can not be greater than 60).

Cheers,
