Few interesting points:
- only uploaded work certificates ( no payslips, bank statements) and no s56 for this
-submitted application within a week of invite which might be the reason for getting application assessed quickly ( but only assuming)
- for police checksβ they want the exact document mentioned under βRelevant documentβ in the DHA page. I would have for grant on 15th of December if I did this correctly in the first place.

So grateful! I was a little nervous about my regional points as I didnβt have a lease in my name during the first year of study, and also didnβt have any bank statements with daily transactions since i was using my dadβs international credit card when i first arrived in Aus in 2021. However, i had the Wifi monthly invoices with my name and address as well as my driverβs licence issued in 2021 with that address, turns out it was enough evidence.
