I do completely understand where you are coming from. If I could sum up my emotions throughout this process, it would be as follows:

Month 1 = Excitement, finally lodged my visa application
Month 2 = Hmm, seems this is going to a really long wait
Month 3= Is DIAC even working!
Month 4 = This seems to be moving along, my turn soon!
Month 5 = Seriously, can DIAC hurry up!
Month 6 = I give up!
Month 7 = OMG, I have CO! What if they don't grant my visa, oh no! What to do, what to do! Utter panic!
Month 7.5 = OMG, how long does it even take to get an appointment to do my medical! Ah, so frustrated right now!
Month 8 = What is DIAC waiting for, I've provided everything that they asked! Ahhhhhh!
Month 8.5 = OMG, OMG, OMG, I have my visa!

Sounds familiar?

Hi Maz,

Wow, i couldn't have put it better

Ozzie.

Ozzie.

Just a typo:

i meant 'quit' and not 'quite'...

Oh! That's a shock for me too. Thanks again for sharing this with all of us! This really clears up the confusion as there are no clear definitions written on the DIAC site, if they are, they're certainly placed obscurely somewhere.

Hi ozzie_expat,

Can you provide the experience letter that you uploaded to ACS? I am in the midst or preparing the documents for 261312 as well and a sample experience letter would help. You can post it here or email me at [SNIP]

Appreciate it.

Thanks!

Ozzie,

How did you fillout and submit form 1023?

Did you print it out, filled in the corrections and scanned it and emailed to your CO?

Or did you use the softcopy of the form, filled in the corrections, and emailed it to your CO?

Or you snail mailed it to your CO?

Hi,

I had produced a self statutory declaration(Common Wealth of Australia Statutory Declaration Act 1959 - u can search online for the form, its free for download) stating my experience n skills in the industry, additionally i also produced a reference letter regarding my work, skill and experience from my company.

Sorry to say that i cannot share these documents, as its against company's legal policy to do so.

One thing i would like to tell u in getting a reference letter based on ur skills n experience in the industry is that, this can be got from ur seniors/ peers/ manager on a company letter head (preferred). In many cases for obvious reasons or due to policy restrictions, the employee may not be able to get this from the employer's company letter head. In such a case, u can get the reference letter and attach the original business card of the referrer, this also works as a substitute to a company letter head, just to prove the reference is genuine and not made up.

Hope some of this info helps u.. Good luck with ur application

regards.

Hi ozzie,

I just lodged visa Subclass 485 online application yesterday and I made an error that I put my family members under 'Non-migrating dependents' instead of under 'other family members'. I have no CO yet since I just applied yesterday. I want to submit Form 1023 now but where do I need to upload it because I don't have CO yet. Thanks.
