You do not have to travel together or the main applicant first unless it is specified as a condition of your visa. In the same way people get conditions they can not marry before entry or a no further stay condition when applying for tourist visas.

Your grant letter will specify conditions so will the label in your passport if you get it put in.

From what I have researched, it happens after employment verification. Either a telephone call or a visit by someone employed by DIAC from the local embassy. They do this if they see or hear anything about you that's negative or raises red flags.

Something else that I have noticed is that many people employed in the accounting field get some type of verification. A lady from the US who works in accounting was verified and then asked to take two courses before she received a positive skills assessment from the assessing body itself! She had to reapply for the visa 2 years later after she completed the courses even though she had the full degree already.

I also hear, but don't quote me - that if you're in accounting and you get your skills verified, that the DIAC tends to prefer one of the skills body over the other. (There are two agencies where you can get your skills assessed and apparently one is more reputable than the other) but I'm not sure which receives the preferable treatment (hence less verification from the DIAC, etc). Seems like Australia has a very high standard when it comes to accounting and financing. You will read about a lot of accountants from the UK also getting those verification calls. I guess Australia was safe during the GFC and they just probably want to keep it that way.

Hi
When I come to know about the personal verification done in my office immediately contacted an agent to know more about it....he told it's usual and few of his clients also been verified the same week and they too received the calls from AHC itseems and some got the grant toooo......so:confus ed:

A progressive week after december'11 although this week had four working days only. 21 pages in this 4 days can easily reflects the scenario but DIAC updates only up to 20th June is little bit disappointing at the end.
