@leli7_4 hi Leli, as per VETASSESS, your certificate of employment or employer statement should contain the following:
The Statement of Service must include the following:
a) The company letterhead
b) Your full name
c) The working hours per week
d) Your official position title (s) held at the organisation
e) The exact period of your employment in each position held
f) Description of your main duties for each position held
g) The salary earned
h) Official contact details and signature of the person writing the statement of service – references from colleagues at the same level or below will not be accepted.
If you want to inlude all your working years in your application then you will need at least 3 payslips from each company, no need to submit all of it and yes, you will need to submit tax papers as well.
Being 39 will give you 25 points and if you act now, VETASSESS results come out in 12-18 weeks, EOI pool draws are twice a month and if invited, as long as you are 39 or below when you lodge your Visa application that will be accepted.
No need to use agency, they will make you pay twice as much or even more for a self-done application, but if you are busy then it will be of big help. I have processed my student visa and now, processing my permanent residency on my own.
With IELTs, aim for a 7 for each band.
With the damage, expect an estimate of:
