Hi Experts

Is it a mandatory requirement to upload “certified copies” of the documents for a SC190 visa application.

When I click the “question mark” right next to each “required documents” these are the requirement regarding certified copies

1. Evidence of Birth - Provide a certified copy of your full birth certificate.
2. Evidence of Language Ability - Provide evidence of the applicant's English language ability. This may include a certified copy of score report.
3. Evidence of Overseas Education Qualification - This may include a certified copy of your academic transcripts, educational certificate (degree, diploma etc) or letter/statement from your overseas education institution.
4. Skills Assessment - Provide a certified copy of your skills assessment issued by the relevant skills assessment body.
5. Travel Document – Not Asking for certified copies.
6. Evidence of Work Experience Australian - This may include a certified copy of your employment contract, a letter/statement from your business/employer or work reference.
7. Evidence of Regional Australia Study - Not Asking for certified copies.
8. Evidence of Character History India - Not Asking for certified copies.
9. Evidence of Character History Australia - Not Asking for certified copies.
10. Evidence of Australian Study Requirements - Not Asking for certified copies.

For my application all documents and original color PDFs issued form the issuing authorities like

1. Evidence of Birth – Local Governing Body
2. Evidence of Language Ability – PTE Score Card
3. Evidence of Overseas Education Qualification – University
4. Skills Assessment – Engineers Australia
5. Evidence of Work Experience Australian – Contract Letter from Employer.

So, what does it mean when they ask us to upload a certified copy?

Visa Application Checklist

Has anyone got a document check list for 189/190/491 visa application?

When we lodge and EOI – what should be “Date to” of in the education history section. I have a course completion letter from university that states “All academic requirements for the award were completed on 17/02/2024 - The award will be conferred on 18/04/2024.” and a Degree certificate that states “Having fulfilled the requirements prescribed by the University has been awarded the Master of Engineering - Engineering Management in evidence of which the Seal of the University is affixed this 1 8 T H day of April 2024”

I am a mechanical engineer (former international student) in Victoria. What all documents should I prepare to lodge my visa application for 189/190/491? I am trying to make sure I have got everything ready when I get invited. I have 100 points as mechanical engineer for 189. Also, what are the forms that I should submit with my visa application for 189/190/491?

I have submitted a single EOI for subclasses 189, 190, and 491. However, we do not intend to pursue the 491 visa even if we receive an invitation for it [I have 95 points as mechanical engineer & 2 more years on my SC485, So 491 is my last priority]. My question is: if we get an invitation for 491 and choose not to accept it, what impact will that have on my EOIs for 189 and 190
