Got 189 invite...What now ??

[irshad2005]

Hey Guys,

Got the invite for 189 visa yesterday.
I have completed my entire application and only waiting to hit the submit button and pay the visa fees
But before i do that, i wanted to check if i am doing everything correct or not

* Submit the Visa application
* Pay the fees
* Uploading the following documents
** Passport for me and my wife
** Marriage Certificate
** My educational documents
** My work experience documents from all the 4 companies
** Planning to submit bank statements and pay slips also. My 1st company used to pay me by cash so i dont have any record for bank statements nor do i have a pay slip. I have all the reference documents i.e appointment letter, reference and relieving letter but no pay slips and bank statements...Will this create any problem ???
** IELTS Certificate

I haven't claimed points for my wife but do i still need to submit my wife's educational and work experience letters ??
Also what extra forms do i need to fill and submit ??

Please help

Your CO may question the lack of pay documents but you would not be the first person for this to happen to. They may ask instead for proof you filed taxes and extra references.

You do not need your wifes education documents unless you are claiming points or using them to substitute IELTS.

Hi Shel,

Thanx for your response....
Do i need to fill in medical and personal character forms ????

[_shel]

Do not do medicals until requested by CO. Fill up the character forms as everybody is asked for them. Keep a copy in case you are asked for them again later so you can update them with any travel and resend them.

Hi Irshad,

Congrats , i am also in the same boat as you are

I have one additional doubt related to the part in Visa applciation :

Previous countries of residence
Have any of the applicants lived in a country other than the primary applicant's usual country of residence?

Does this mean I need to updat eall my stays outisde India even for 1 month or so ?
Or is it only fo rlonger periods??

Thanks in advance!

Cheers,
Sandeep

Residence means you lived there or where there for more than a holiday, so if you studied in another country. Spent every summer in another country with relatives etc.

You will need details of all your trips abroad no matter how long for the security checks on form 80, so keep all those details to hand.

Hi Guys,

I am currently awaiting my IELTS results and although these are still early days for me I just wanted to clarify something. I have been unemployed for around a year now (my spouse is working but we won't be claiming spouse points). I have documents from my last employer and I was recently assessed by ACS for this job (4 years and 4 months). Can anyone confirm that since there is no "recent" work experience required by DIAC since july 2012, it is okay to submit only the proof of experience claimed?

Hi Shel,

Your definition for residence is correct.
But we dont have to fill those details in the form 80 but in the online evisa website
I am going to fill in the details for myself and my wife as we both lived in London
Myself : 5 months
My Wife : 1 month
I have permanent address for the stay in London
But i have been to Thailand/Maldives and Sri Lanka for holiday and honemoon for 10-11 days
How can i mention them as i dont have any permanent address
Please reply

There is an online equivilant of form 80 and other security forms where they ask for overseas trips and residence. The application only needs residence.
