Hi,
That's an interesting question that I would like to clarify with you regarding "job verification". To be honest, I don't know much about how this works, because as far as I know, those of my friends who got their Visas approved (175) never had DIAC contacting their employers or previous employers (But then, I might be the unlucky one).
What happened for me was, with the application form, I also submitted all my Testimonials (got my previous employers to write up one according to the guidelines requested by DIAC website), then I also submitted my Current Letter of Employment with my current company (Of course I got all these certified True copy by the solicitor in my country). I also submitted my Income Tax Returns for the past 5 years (Certified).
What I forgot to mention in my previous thread is that, in the 21 January 2010 email from my case officer, they asked me to attached 2 more items concerning my employment:-
1) Payslips for the last 12 out of 24 months (which I have, and scanned and emailed to them on the 22/1/10)
2) Superannuation Statements for the last 2 years (2008 and 2009). I got these statements translated into English by a certified translator because they were in native malay language.
But what I did was also got my current employer (the Executive Director) to write a simple letter, specifying that I have been working with the Company since July 2008 (which I have sent DIAC my letter of employment dated July 2008), and is currently still with them, and am in the position of an Accountant. My Executive Director also specified briefly my job function and what I have achieved with the Company.
This was not requested by DIAC, but according to a friend of mine, that was what he did with his application. So I scanned the letter (in colour, depicting the Company Letter Head, address, etc etc) and emailed it to my case Officer on the 25th January 2010.
So this is as far as I have done.
As for receiving Telephone Calls from DIAC to my employer, .... ahh.. this one I am in the dark about... But I am hoping that the evidences that I have provided will be sufficient for them to decide.
What do you think?
