Questions:

Hi (about 136 australian visa) I understood that ACS gives IT professionals a ASCO Code and a MODL eligibility, but about a) the Recent Work Experience: ---who verifies this criteria ? (ACS or DIMIA?) ---how? (based on the exact same documents we send to ACS?) b) the Specific Work Experience ---who verifies these points ? (ACS or DIMIA?) ---how? (based on the exact same documents we send to ACS?) Tks
hi, my husbands father has already moved to the USA and is pursuing his residency/green card. his wife is american and they run thier own bussiness and own a property. as his residency is not finalised would his wife be able to sponsor us? she is my husbands step mum.
Hi, My English husband and I (together with our two children born in the UK) would like to move back to my native Australia. On reading the consulate website, I came across a visa suggestion at a whopping cost of $1390! Instead of going down the visa route, is it not possible to get a passport for him from the outset? My children both hold Aussie passports already.
Hi, about Australia General Skilled Mirgration. My nominated occupation is 2231-79. But my recent work experience is another skilled occupation (2231-11), my question is Can I meet the basic requirement "recent work experience" with one occupation and get the 15 extra points with another one?
Could you please tell me that when the employer verification is usually done? is it done before one is asked to undergo a medical examination or is it done afterwards?
For skilled independent - Information technology: systems manager, I have submitted work experiences from two organnizations. The first one was of two years (till march 2003) and the latest one was of three years (till may 2006). The problem is, my first organization,a factory, due to huge financial prolems have almost removed all of the IT setup and they are now down to couple of computers.. thats it. What is the probablity of DIMIA verifying my first experience and what result can be expected - though my last experience is of 3 years (that is what required by DIMA) which is completely verifiable and dependable in any way, shape or form.
We have just submitted our SIR application and have been asked for evidence of our IELTS test. As native English speakers, born in the UK and with all qualifications in English including degrees. Do we need to sit an IELTS test? If not, what evidence can we provide to prove we are native speakers?

	Good Question. The answer is RWE and 12/18 is verified by DIMA and this is done by documentary evidence. e.g. references, payslips, letters of appointment etc etc.

	No - he needs a visa and 3 years residence prior to getting a passport. Sorry but $1390 is not the only costs you will have when you add medical and police checks etc on.

	There is no absolute answer for this as I have experienced it both sides of the medical request. The medical request usually indicates that all is well as a rule of thumb though!

	DIMA will believe what they have evidence of.... This is always a tricky situation. You can call Richard Gregan on 0131 625 6906 to discuss this.

	Your chances of finding work pre departure are reasonable. Housing - I am not so sure. You seem light on funds. Good luck.
