Hi !

i am new to this forum and have learnt alot already.... very useful information and advices provided by the members.

my husband and i have decided to apply for the federal skilled worker visa. on the process of collecting and organising the docs before application. i have urgent questions!

1. at the visa office stage they require originals of company references and academic transcripts to be provided..... is it possible to give certified copies instead of the originals?? the originals were given by the companies when leaving the job and the academic transcripts are important to be kept with us as well..... of course the current job reference can be given original.

2. if the originals are given then will they return it back after processing?

3. if you dont want to the IELTS then what docs have to be submitted as proof? any specific docs?

4. we are currently working in saudi (4 months now) do we have to get police clearence and medicals from here too other than our home country?

5. we will have to take police clearence once we get the iqama or work permit from our home country so can we use that to be given later when we apply since its valid for 12 months?

i have asked alot of questions.... but need clarifications urgently. look forward to hear from any members! thanx!

Hi SR,

All of your questions are answered in the instruction guide. Suggest re-reading the guide -

and the info on police clearance on the website.
