Well after a wee palaver of submitting our ITA and our cheque going missing we got a nice letter on Monday saying we had been accepted for consideration. Woo hoo we went....
Then today we got a letter saying they needed more ref's for Stu as he's claiming points for working 10yrs or more!!! Argggg Well apparantly when they say they want 10yrs work experience they dont mean that you've been working for 10yrs say since 1997 they want 10yrs of actual work.
As Stu has had maybe a month off here or there between roles he is a few months short of his 10yrs exeprience. As the company he worked for prior to 1997 is no longer a company and went bust so we cant get refs from them. We've been told by our Immi offier that we can contact the Inland Revenue and get a letter from them stating he's been working and paying tax's for X amount of years....nothings ever easy is it!
Just a note to any one who is having problems getting ref's you may be able to ask your immi officer if tax proof is enough if you cant get them all in.
