Hi everyone. Wondering if anyone could clarify a question I am stuck on on form 80. In the section asking your visa history, one of the details it asks for is place of visa issue. All my visas were done online, but I’m assuming Place of Issue wouldn’t be Department of Home Affairs. Do I just write Austrália ( but then wouldn’t they all be Australia since the form is in support of a visa for Australia?). I’ve also read to type in the city which you arrived in Australia. If anyone that has gone through this recently and can shed a light, would be much appreciated. Thank you !

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
