Dear

I am Mechanical Engineer.

But job verification and security check by external agency are the same thing ?

Most of our friends job verification done by phone and after that their specific work experience online status turned required to met.

My specific work experience is now met, but police clearance certificate just shows received but not met.

I think external agency will verify my police clearance certificate as a part of security check.

May be I am wrong if u have any thought please share.

Thanking you.

got from a forum ...


As of July 1st there will be a 15% increase in visa application charges. The charges don't apply to all visas. They apply to all skilled migration, business skills and most family visas, but not to tourist and student visas.

This is what DIAC says:

"From 1 July 2011, the Government will increase a number of visa application charges by 15 per cent. The changes will help offset the wider costs associated with the operation of the migration and temporary entrant program.

This increase in visa application charges will not apply to: tourist visas; student visas; second instalment investor retirement visas; second instalment contributory parent visas (which are increased in line with health, aged care and social security costs instead of by CPI); and humanitarian protection visas lodged in Australia, which are charged at a rate of $30 and not indexed. "

Yeah, my wife is the main applicant, might have to get a return ticket for her, but not sure. Some people said that the condition was not imposed on the secondary applicant. It really sucks though as either of us could have been the main applicant .

I'm sure some one confirmed in this forum that it really doesn't matter who travels first. Only thing that matters is everyone should stamp before the expiration date..

even I would want to send my husband first and sort things for us when we arrive (me and the kid). It's easier for a guy to sort out a lot of matters when he is alone..
