Guest imigrate Australia Posted May 31, 2012 Report Share Posted May 31, 2012 Take a look at the checklist at the link, it provides the guidance on the doc (yes is the answer but I provide the link just in case you don't have the doc) http://www.immi.gov.au/skilled/skilled-workers/_pdf/457-application-checklist.pdf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Perthsunshine Posted June 1, 2012 Report Share Posted June 1, 2012 @ poppops - did you just walk into your local post office with all your copied and original documents and got them to stamp every single page of your copies or?

poppops Posted June 1, 2012 Report Share Posted June 1, 2012 @ poppops - did you just walk into your local post office with all your copied and original documents and got them to stamp every single page of your copies or? Well I asked first, and said do you charge, they said no as they are classed as an offical, it took some time, as lots to stamp, sign and to verify. We use the local PO as on the door so they do know us, but I guess that makes no difference as if you had a solicitor to do it they dont know you. I did buy them a huge bottle of wine to say thanks... still way cheaper than the solicitor ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Druid Posted June 1, 2012 Report Share Posted June 1, 2012 If you are submitting an online e-visa then you just scan them straight in from the original, it does say somwhere in the info that original scanned and attached docs are acceptable. If you are applying here in Aus then go to a local pharmacy, they do it for 'A gold coin donation' what ever that means, its a dam site cheaper then an Aussie post office, I paid $4.00 each at the post office, then kicked myself when I went to the chemist and saw the sign, used the chemist ever since Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jo1977 Posted June 1, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 1, 2012 thanks everyone, got them all certified by a solicitor today (for the cost of a bottle of bubbly stuff as an old friend of my mums) and now application is officially lodged!! eeek!
