Hi @B3sT

It's weird. They granted your newborn baby without Passport. When did you submit your baby birth certificate?

Does CO request your baby medical check on today?

Thanks!

Last week I submitted Birth Certificate and Medical Letter from my GP stating my NewBorn is healthy.

No medical.

A quiet day from CO's :-(.. Might be preparing for their long weeknd..

Hey 

Today I got my Newborn 489 and 887 (bridging visa).

489 CO Lolene

887 Bridging CO Mark.

Waiting for Passport.

Just a quick question. I have submitted everything except Bank Statement and Superannuation which I'll do. If we are doing colour pdf file then still need to be certify or colour copy is enough for them to believe that these are real?

Regards

Have been contacted again today by CO Adam, he has asked for clarification on a debt of $4250 in my wife's name ..... But other information on what this could be for etc. 

I am trying to check all avenues apart from ATO and or traffic, as i have done them already.

Any idea's, i am on Hold with the department to find out if they could give any further information. 

Hi mate, is that any hospital bill pending? It's look like big amount and only way to check.

I remember that $ 4250 is the amount to be paid for spouse's English. @HSK (Applied 14 sep 17), How did you pass through spouse's English for 489 visa

Have provided University Mark sheet's and  a letter from Uni certifying the medium of education was English. 

[HSK (Applied 14 sep 17)]

Second instalment

You will have to pay another fee, called a second instalment, for every additional family member who is 18 years old or older if:

• they have less than functional English.
• you did not pay the second instalment for this family member when you applied for your current skilled visa.

This might apply if your child has turned 18 since they were granted their current skilled visa.

The second instalment is AUD 4890. This fee is in addition to the additional family members’ fee.

Great advice!!!  The more official proofs of employment, the better! 

This is what immi say regarding the letter format:

Employment references

• Employment references must:
• be written on the official letterhead of the employer providing the reference
• clearly show the employer’s full address, telephone and fax numbers, e-mail or website addresses on the letterhead
• show, below their signature, the name, position and contact telephone number of the person who signed the reference
• show:
  • the exact period of your employment
  • whether employment was permanent or temporary, full or part-time
  • the position(s) you held and duties undertaken
  • your salary.

The position should be described according to the nature of the duties undertaken (for example research chemist, accounts clerk). It should not be described in general terms (for example, research officer, public servant).

Thanks Russki. I'm not sure if they will issue me an employment reference letter when i need it , if i resign , even if i provide minimum notice + 2 more weeks they will still struggle with the project both financially and deadline wise, so the owner might get upset even though it's not completely my fault that they didn't have a back up plan fpr me due to extreme cost cutting. I asked fairwork they said there is no requirement by the employee to provide a contract , reference or confirmation of employment letters.If that happens i wouldn't have anything in writing with my position and duties written on them. 

 

So what i did today was , since im still working here and don't have many issues with them yet,  I sent the reception/customer service/ admin person an email asking fr a confirmation of employment email to update the state government about my employment and mentioned the details  i need on the letter i stated my own duties ( This is the same person who sent me the initial job offer email- even the job offer didn't mention position / duties at that time her position was mentioned on email as customer service ) i hoped that she will get one of the managers to issue the coe letter , so today she issued me a coe letter she just copied and pasted the information i requested in email , position title , salary , full time and 3 main duties mentioned with todays date on the letter ,  addressed to the state government.The letter i got from her mentions her position as hr manager. ( I don't know what's happening here, but have to think that she's  authorised to issue such letters since she issued one on the company letter head , maybe my boss is trying to form a formal hr as i've seen her doing some hr policy work lately but still she acts as recptionist/ cs/ admin etc) very confused workplace ,( i remember watching a cartoon about a circus where the same person is in the ticket booth , and all other areas it kind of reminds me of that)

I will still try to get a reference/ employment letter when i resign. If in worst case scenario. If i fail to obtain another letter with the resigned date. Will it be sufficient to provide full time (40hr pw , paid weekly) payslips , group certificate , tax notice of assessment , bank statement with salary highlighted , employer super Annunciation deposit statements , and this letter with a statutory declaration saying that i worked with them until xxx date ?

Wow, what a story!   I think you have done a very clever move with this government confirmation, haha! Very good plan B, if the employer does not issue you a new letter on your leaving the position, the documents you are proposing to submit are fine, plus your Stat.Dec., covering the whole period of employment. Good work!

What a stupid situation mate!!!  Feel sorry for you... This is what the Government site says:

A sum of money owing to the Commonwealth which is known and not being disputed, due for payment now and legally capable of being recovered in a legal action for debt. For example, an official who has been overpaid a salary, or a person who has been overpaid a social security payment, may owe a debt to the Commonwealth as a result of the overpayment. Accountable authorities of non-corporate Commonwealth entities are required to pursue amounts owing to the Commonwealth in accordance with section 11 of the PGPA Rule.
 

This  is the phone number of Australian Government Department of Finance: +61 2 6215 2222. It is a long shot, but maybe call them and ask where you can go to find out about this debt? After all, they are the ones your wife apparently owes the money.

I think it can be as simple as her being overpaid salary by some mistake or something like that. Worth a try! 

Another option for your wife to ring ATO office or check any debts by creating MyGov account...
