Thanks @MysticRiver I'll submit whatever I can.

1 more question, I certified few docs including my passport, birth cert, degree, transcript, working experience, marriage cert (during the time I submit ACS). Is there any other docs I need to certify too?
How about employment contract or promotion (its quite long though, 5-6 pages each so I'm not sure I need the stamp for every page), payslip, bank statement etc

Hi, the form 80 from DIBP website is locked and uneditable. Any links for an editable version?

Thanks!

I haven't checked recently, but I would encourage you to use the one from DIBP site. If they locked it, try using Adobe Acrobat Typewriter tool, but make sure DIBP hasn't changed the policy in recent time not to allow typing.

I didn't realise my defacto had to fill out form 80 and 1221.
We are not claiming points for her work exp. Do we need to provide references/payslips etc for her aswell as myself or is she just required to full in the form 80 with her work history
Obviously I'm assuming our children don't need this form filled out as they are all under 16

Your partner does not need to provide any work experience related documents. He/she may requires to provide form 80 and 1221, if asked by your CO. In the past it was mandatory, but some recent posts suggests that DIBP now makes them optional for certain cases. Anyway, you should receive a complete document checklist as soon as you submit your application, which will clearly tell you what you actually need to submit.

i am not claiming work experience points do i need to submit experience documents or leave it
No need for that, unless CO specifically asks (I don't see any reason he would do)

and form 80 form 1221 each for spouse and primary applicant
There are conflicting reports about this. Usually, it was mandatory for all 16+ applicants. However, recently few claims that DIBP didn't ask for that. You'll get a full checklist once you submit your application.

any document for kid 2 year old
Birth certificate is the one I can think of.

my agent asked me for additional information as further evident of relevant employment... I have a positive outcome for my skills assessment with certain number of years of experience. Is it common to have to provide additional information in visa application stage to support skills assessment? i thought everything was assessed /examined during the assessment? It's a bit difficult for me to provide payslips from 2008/09...

Totally different. You have to submit all the evidence to DIBP again irrespective of your assessment. DIBP reverify all the experience (that you claimed points for). When I say DIBP reverify, it doesn't necessarily mean they'll call your employer (they might, they might not), but you definitely have to satisfy them with all available documents.

I see! Thanks for clarifying. The problem is that the things they are asking for are from nearly 10 years ago... some of them are no longer available.

Whatever you can, best effort basis. And explain the missing documents.

Once you submit your application, you will need to provide as many evidence as you can to support all the claims you made in your application. Your case officer will advise what documents you need to submit and give you a deadline. You can always ask for an extension of deadline with proper reasoning. If you fail to collect any document for valid reason, you need to contact your case officer. You need to show that you have tried your best to collect that document and that the failure is not due to your fault. If you manage to prove your point, your case officer may accept your position, but not guaranteed.

For health requirements and police clearance, I always recommend to wait until they ask for those. The reason is sometimes the process takes much time and those documents have some validity period. So you might end up doing those again in case they expires by the time you are asked to provide.

So, by the time your case officer is assigned, you can start collecting some documents that's almost certain that you need to provide. Please note that the requirement varies case to case and the list is not a comprehensive one (it never can be).

  • Form 80: You need to download the form from the website and fill it up. A huge amount of information is required, hence you can start filling it up.
  • Form 1221
  • Scan of all applicant's passport information page
  • Scan of all applicant's birth certificate and National ID (if available)
  • Scan of your English competency test result. You also need to submit the same for other applicants' unless you want to pay extra fees
  • Scan of your assessment result
  • Relationship certificates if you included any secondary applicant
  • Evidence of your employment. The document list includes but not limited to
    • Reference/experience letter in company letterhead
    • Payslips/salary statements
    • Bank statements of your salary account
  • Academic certificates and transcripts
  • Name change documents (if applicable)
    • Affidavit
    • Newspaper advertisement
  • NAATI accreditation (if you claimed points for credential community language)
  • Evidence of studying and living in regional Australia (if you claimed points for)
    • Utility Bills
    • Rental Agreements
    • Academic transcripts identifying the campus
  • Documents for partner's skill (if you claimed points for)
    • Skill assessment for your partner's nominated occupation
    • Partner's English competency test result
  • Health and Police clearance should be arranged when asked.

Why do we need to fill Form 80? Information I collected says that Form 80 is required in case they ask for character certificate? Is it a necessary form?

Consider before posting:
  • Do not post the same thing in multiple places.
  • No personal contact and/or non-English phrase is allowed.
  • Always post in a relevant thread or open a new one.
  • Better to use the reactions in a post to congratulate/thank.
