I applied my 175 online, for the PCC do I have to send a hard copy with a courier, or I can just send them a scan copy of the original?


Thanks

Nowadays medicals are taking too much time to be finalized.

Hi Guys,

Could you please clear my doubt? The eligibility criteria for getting 15 points for qualifications under 885 says

"Points for qualifications at Masters level can only be awarded where you have also completed a Bachelors degree recognised by the relevant assessing authority as being of a comparable Australian standard. To claim points for a qualification obtained overseas, it will need to be recognised as being of a standard comparable to the relevant Australian level qualification. Generally, you will be able to request an opinion on your qualification claims from the relevant assessing authority when you seek your skills assessment."

Does that mean that, I need to get an assessment for my Bachelor degree as well to claim points for Masters? I completed Master in professional accounting and already got it assessed from CPA as equivalent to Australian Master degree.

Please advice. Thanks.

In such assessments for educational qualifications, one's highest level of qualification is what is considered. As far as I can understand, if your master degree is assessed, then you don't have to get a separate assessment for your bachelor's and you would get the points due for the master's degree.

Hi Fellows,

After long wait, finally I got Case officer (17-August-2012).
He requested for following within 28 days. I am bit confused, please guide:

Specific Employment
Pay Slips Or Bank statement: I am not having pay slips or Bank statements for all of previous employers but current. Will the “Salary Certificates” serve the purpose?
Taxation: Being in Dubai having no tax returns submitted! What should I do for this?

Form 80 is requested for me only: Should I send my partner’s Form 80 as well?
My partner got pregnant recently: Should I submit the Change of circumstances as it’s suggested in the same email of CO?

Secondly, I had already uploaded Form 1221 for my partner, but in the document list still stating required. Should I send it again to CO? He hasn’t asked for it though?

1. Yes, you can get a salary certificate from the HR department, showing the salary received. You should also have them confirm your start and end dates of your employment on the letter, so that the CO can see the period of employment.

2. You simply tell the CO that there is no income tax in the UAE. I'm surprised that they asked for details of tax paid considering that it is common knowledge that there is no income tax in most Middle Eastern countries.

3. If the CO has asked for Form 80 for you only, then provide what he wants. If this is required for anyone else, then they will ask for this at a later stage.

4. Yes, you need to tell your CO that your spouse is pregnant, as that affects their ability to do their medical and it will also mean that your baby is included in the visa application when she/she is born. It is quite likely that you will be undergoing security checks and that might be a blessing in that the baby will most likely be born by the time this is completed and it also gives you time to sort out a passport for baby.

5. No, there is no need to resend Form 1221 - the CO does not necessarily update your document status but that does not mean that the document has not been received and is acceptable. I received my grant and all documents were still showing as required.

(With reference to my previous thread above)

Hi,

Thanks. I understand that Master will fetch me 15 points. But my query is that in order to get point for Masters, do you also need to get your Bachelor degree assessed (or take an opinion) from the assessing authority. I am concerned because of the following statement:

"Points for qualifications at Masters level can only be awarded where you have also completed a Bachelors degree recognised by the relevant assessing authority as being of a comparable Australian standard."

Thanks once again.

Many thanks for reply.

Yeah, that's weird about Taxation, however I am having only one tax return from Pakistan, that I will be submitting.

Also I am collecting bank statements in addition to Salary Certificates as alternative of Payslips...by the way who carries payslips

I just sent/uploaded Form 1022 stating the pregnancy.
