Thanks for the info, man.

Thanks for the details, man.

Wow, thanks a lot for the detailed breakdown. Nemesis, if I ever get there, I will message you in private and hope to keep in contact with you over there.

Nemesis, what's she working as ? Seems like her current salary is quite good.

Actually, Nemesis, when I first got ITA, I submitted all docs including medical and police clearance. Then subsequently, on 7th of April, my case officer, who is a lady, asked me to submit additional docs to prove my previous employment. So I had to beg my company for as many salary slips as possible together with my offer letter. I submitted 6 months of slips for every year up to ten n had to beg my boss to reprint them since my company has migrated to a new system long ago. They don't keep hard copies of the slips. I attached everything on the 14th of April. Now after almost 3 weeks, I have received nothing. I am worried. You previously said you waited 2 months for your visa to be granted and recently said it only takes 2 weeks or so after they ask you for full set of docs. Seems like things are getting worse here.

Mobile service is that cheap ? How much storage do they give you ?

I put in the name and contact of my boss as my referee as I have been with the same company for ten years. I am scared if they can't reach my boss and get their info from the other staff instead, I might get screwed if they don't know anything about me or give them false info. Then later if the info does not tally, I will get rejected and banned.

Thanks Nemesis. I accept your constructive criticism, and do feel there is a lot of room of improvement for me. Another question, if I do not get a reply in 2 months like you did, should I contact them directly ?

Thanks. Will do as per your advice. When they contacted your boss last time, did James teach you how to answer or your boss to answer the questions ? Mind to share more on this part ? Thank you very much.

Congrats to you.

Wow, you got it so fast in less than 2 months.

Not limited docs but a complete set of docs consisting of my payslips for ten years. For each year, I provided 6 months of slips. The slips are basically the same for each month unless there is an increment. If that's not enough, I will have to provide each month for ten years which would be hundreds of copies of slips. Now that the IT system has changed, they will need to reprint in another format and to be signed by the director for each month, wow ! I don't think the staff will print for me unless I ask them for a special favour and also my boss to beg them. As for bank statements, I don't have my old bank books with me and there is no monthly bank statement for me. My account does not come with a bank book, only ATM card. If I am going to ask the bank to retrieve the records for me, I don't know how complicated it would be, as I have switched bank accounts before.

I did email them and got no reply. They only asked for employment evidence and a completed form 1221 which I gave them after begging the HR staff to print out all the slips mentioned. My reply is under GSM Brisbane. Please advise me accordingly. Thank you.

Did you get all the slips certified ? That's pretty expensive. I gave the offer letter and employment reference, of course, including tax records and saving account details.

No verification ? That's lucky of you.

New Zealand is the best, but it's too tough to get it.

Thanks. Yes, had to translate those docs as well. You worked in 2 companies and managed to keep all slips. Wow, you are so meticulous.

Well, I used all the docs gotten and certified by my employer to prove my case. Don't know if they are satisfied or not. Or perhaps they might think some of my data is fake as I do not have full slips and some bank statements ?

Ha ha.... I think maybe because you applied thru Rayford. Many unlucky ones who did thru Rayford or Kitson have regretted and failed, including me.

But you have to live there for a few years 1st, right ?

Thanks. Maybe I will have to beg the HR staff to print all slips for another 6 months for every year just to have 100% complete docs for her.

Bolehlanders pay high taxes too, including toll n various government service charges. Overall, the rate is about the same for both or even higher than Australia.

A lot of detours and half - truths are found in this book, in conclusion. Take it with a pinch of salt, guys and gals.
