@trendingsleek

All you need to know is at this link https://www.nairaland.com/4478747/diy-guide-australian-permanent-resident

Go through it with a fine tooth comb and you will be good. You could also spend a good amount of time browsing through this link: https://immi.homeaffairs.gov.au/visas/getting-a-visa/visa-finder

This is what I did, and hope it helps.

MHBS:


Congratulations, please did you use an agent or you did the whole process yourself. I keep asking about agent because I have never handled any big project by my self, my husband takes care of major family project, and he has decided not to get involved in this, that I should handle it while he focuses on work and family. Am scared to fail him,myself and the entire family, that is why I keep asking about agents. the only thing I have done so far is international passport for the whole family and I have IELTS 6.5 over all.
@bellong said I should nominate cafe and Restaurant manager. I need help not sure what to do at all.

Honestly, the process can be daunting. And in as much as I did the entire process myself, I had help from family who had also migrated before and went through similar process, so I had people checking everything...so I must confess, you will need to find someone that can be your eyes or else you will miss something and that can be costly.

Still, do a lot of research but let IMMI website be your major research and reference site... too many jargon on the internet.

You might also consider an agent if necessary...just be careful, too many fake of those in the market too. Wish you the best.

macfaded:


congratulation, did you later submit additional documents different from employment letter, monthly payslip and tax return?

Yes I did.

I submitted company registration document, my founders agreement, and vesting rights letter. It might be different for everyone else, but I think the objective is to be truthful and provide as much evidence as you think is needed.

All the best

Hello All,

Just want to express my gratitude to everyone who helped out when I needed clarity (bellong, chidike). I am happy to announce that I got my 189 visa grant today June 19, 2019.

To encourage everyone, here is my timeline:

EOI: Nov 8, 2018
Invite: Nov 9, 2018
Lodged: Jan 8, 2019
CO Contact: Apr 5, 2019
Responded to CO: Apr 21, 2019
Grant: Jun 19, 2019

Wish all my comrades good luck pursuing your dreams and God almighty we'll grant you favour.

Aussy...am on my way o.....I beg prepare the ground for my arrival.

chidike:

Also worth mentioning that every case is peculiar.

Hey chidike

Thanks for this..its quite helpful, and now that you mentioned it, there might be wisdom in holding back some docs...

Thanks again.

bellong:


Yes. Promotion letter, confirmation if any, pension statement if any.

Thanks for taking out time to respond man....too appreciate it.

Would be a good idea to hook up when I finally land Aus....will keep you posted on progress.

Have a splendid day.

bellong:


In that case, provide the payslips and tax certificates for the period claimed. Include any other documents outside your bank statement.

Oh sorry Bellong, guess I wasn't clear.

I already submitted employment letter, tax certificate and payslip.

I submitted the above set of docs to 3 employments, but CO is asking for more evidence for one. My guess is the CO needs more verifiable proof that that company exists as its not as active online as the other two.

What do you think? Reg certificate et al you mentioned before should be fine?

Thanks Belong,

No the CO didn't ask for a specific evidence, just the general list as found on DIBP website.

I only supplied an employment letter which doesn't state am a cofounder. Truth is I have investors, and though am a cofounder, am also an employee.

Do you think I should also submit the signed founders agreement and our last audited accounts report.

Thanks a lot.

bellong:
@Applepiepr,

Did the CO ask for specific evidence or just additional evidence to support the employment?

Did you declare that it is joint-owned with you as a co-founder?

Are you able to get a pension statement?

I don't think your bank statement will help your cause at this stage. In this situation, what would have been appropriate is to declare the business as self and salary paid based on company's income. This will show that your income is irregular making it easy to cut through this process.

For additional evidence, you can provide company registration documents, promotion letter (if any), rent agreement for the office, pension statement if available and the company's account itself or any other documents to proof the existence of the business and that you are directly employed by the business.

Hello Bellong and everyone.

I need some guidance from the more experienced.

I and my brother started and currently run a company as cofounders since 2014. The company is a limited liability company and has external investors.

As cofounders we signed an agreement that makes provision to defer all or part of our salary. Besides the company has not grown as expected and so we've not been able to pay ourselves regularly, and when we do pay, its always part payment.

To apply for the invite I got for 189 visa, I uploaded my employment letter, monthly payslip (which carries full payment am suppose to get), and tax return (I did direct assessment based on payslip).

Now I need to submit more evidence of this employment. The only documents I have is the founders agreement we signed, the company's financial statement that shows deferred salary payment, and my bank account.

The question is since my bank account entries will not match my payslip, how else can I proof this employment or are this additional documents enough.

I will really appreciate any feedback.

Thanks a lot.

Casumugha:
Your ANZCO is under pro-rata list Abi Am asking cause I have 75 points too, underr ANZSCO 233914 Engineering technologist, want to know if next round is possible??

Under pro-rata, yes.

Casumugha:
Sorry but is it possible to submit EOI and get ITA the next day

Yes it is. I actually was following the invite round report and it was obvious that for my ANSCO every 75 points were called in the last few months, including November. In fact for my NASCO the least point was 70.

Hello Everyone,

I am just wondering...is it advisable to do my medicals and police report before I lodge my application. Since police report is only valid for 3 months, I was thinking of doing it and the medicals after I apply.

What do you guys think.

Hello Everyone,

If you've paid for the 189 visa fees, please can you tell me the best and cheapest means to pay. Is it possible to have someone pay for me with his foreign card, will that not be flagged as fraud.

I tried paying Pearson that way for my PTE and they just locked my account and flagged it as fraud. Took me another 4 weeks to get it unlocked.

Please any advice for your brother?

Kolombo88:

Congrats
Are you able to share your timeline please

bellong:


You have to ask your company to provide you with your payslips. Go to inland revenue of your state to pay tax for the years covered. Present offer letter, payslip and tax certificate.

Thanks for the feedback @bellong...will pension also be acceptable to DIBP. If I can get the company to pay the pension backlogs will that work?

bellong:


Are you claiming points for work experience?

What documents did you submit for assessment?

Yes. I am claiming points for work experience.

Got assessed by ACS and had to submit only my employment reference letter on official letter head.

Hello people,

For those who have gotten grant, I beg what did you submit to proof your employment?

I just got my ITA, but now am confused about how to proof employment for two of the companies I worked because they didn't pay regularly and no pension/tax return.

Please help.
