reubensmam Posted January 13, 2017 Report Share Posted January 13, 2017 Hi guys, We're in the process of pulling together all info for 189 visa. we are from Ireland. Struggling a bit to prove 8 years as hubby was company to company for a few years through the recession. We were in perth on a 457 visa from late 2010 until mid 2015 so have 10points for that as easy to pull payslips and tax returns via our emails. But going way back to 06/07 is hard as most enployers didnt do that n we foolishly never kept paper copies.what evidence is sufficent to prove employment that far back. Any advise?

Do you not have bank statements that shows payments by the companies ? If he was employed by the companies and not self employed I believe they have to keep records for 7 years for tax purposes ?

reubensmam Posted January 15, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2017 The thing is that he changed bank acc so not as easy as just requesting statements. We will find out tomorrow when he calls everybody for everything he needs. Sent from my SM-A300FU using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jackeroo Posted January 16, 2017 Report Share Posted January 16, 2017 I would have thought The previous bank would still keep records of this they might charge a fee to reprint statements, he could see if his previously employers would write a statement on their company letter head, stating the time frame he worked for them to go with bank statements.

reubensmam Posted January 17, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2017 From March 2009 to sept 2010. Was in and out of work before went to Oz for work. Don't have anything other than a statement from social welfare stating I was on unemployment benefit from x date to y date and then I have my tax return for those years showing tax and social insurance paid whilst working. Have letters/refs payslips tax returns etc for every other year apart from that time frame between 2009/2010. We decided to play safe last night and are only going to claim 3 years instead of 5years over seas skills just to be sure we don't seem to he overclaiming. We will lose 5points however we still have 60 and still qualify for the 189 Sent from my SM-A300FU using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

reubensmam Posted January 18, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2017 I'm going to call them. I have so many queries going round in my head at the moment Sent from my SM-A300FU using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reubensmam Posted January 18, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2017 Do immigration care how many employers you have had or if you were in and out of jobs during recession. We have 9 employers some only for short contracts. Is this a reflection on your character or does it matter as long as you have the years you are claiming for Sent from my SM-A300FU using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ali Posted January 18, 2017 Report Share Posted January 18, 2017 immigration aren't bothered how many employers, but my understanding is that the OP is gathering evidence for the skills assessment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
