@gregormendel & can any one help me , if 491 is granted to husband and wife , after grant if they have new born child to apply visa then how much is the visa application cost ?
Hi everyone,
Looking for advice from people who received 189/190/491 grant, especially Construction Project Managers (ANZSCO 133111) who claimed overseas employment points.
I have a positive VETASSESS assessment and will be claiming 10 points for 5+ years overseas skilled employment.
For my one older employment, I have:
โข Employer reference/experience letter + job description
โข Appointment/offer letter
โข EOBI (government employment/contribution record) confirming employer and dates
โข FBR/tax records but it was under tax deduction threshold and added by me so employer name is not mentioned
โข Bank statements showing salary payments from sister company during bank salary months
โข Salary slips where available for cash salary months
โข Employer clarification letter for some payments made through another business owned by the same company director
โข SECP/FBR records proving the connection between the employer, director and payment business
and a low income certificate by FBR IRIS commissioner explaining salary was lower than tax deductible income.
For anyone who claimed employment points: Was a similar evidence package enough for Home Affairs? Did they accept the VETASSESS-assessed experience directly, or did you receive an s56 asking for further employment/salary evidence?
Would especially appreciate experiences from CPM 133111 applicants.
Thanks!
