Australia Immigration Process in 5 easy steps
Step 1: Preliminary Data Gathering and Self Assessment.
Once we know that your occupation is in the CSOL or SOL list, and you have required years of work experience. We will find out relevant assessing authority for that occupation and as per that we will start filing and documentation for it.
Step2: Lodge Skills Assessment Application with Assessing Body.
Your next step will be to lodge your skills assessment with the skills assessing body responsible for your profession. The processing time will vary depending on the assessing body and on how complex your application is. One of the most commonly-used assessing bodies is VETASSESS for skilled trades people. Applications through VETASSESS take around eight weeks to process, plus more time to complete a practical test.
Step 3: Preparation for the Application - IELTS, State Sponsorship, EOI.
If you haven't sit for IELTS exam, you will have to do so and you will have to have at least 6 in each band in the test. For claiming points for your English language skill you will have to have at least 7 in each band. In case you don't have enough points, you may seek State Sponsorship.
When you have received your skill assessment report, and IELTS Score (and State Sponsorship, if required), you are ready to submit the 'Expression of Interest' (EOI). Although, at this stage you will have to have other supporting documents with you, such as, your job certificate, academic records, marriage certificate, etc. You need to make sure that the data you are providing in the EOI is correct. Because the immigration authority will issue the invitation to apply based on the information provided in the EOI.
Step 4: Immigration Visa Application.
You may receive the 'Invitation to Apply' if you have enough point based on your EOI. By this time, you are supposed to have most of the details you need to make the final application. However, you may need to get some current documents, such as bank statement, or updated job certificate, etc.
Step 5: Supporting Papers Submission - Medical Examination, Police Clearance.
This is the last step in the visa application process - and usually a very positive sign. Once DIBP has assessed and processed your application, they will ask for police clearance and medical checks for you and your family.
Police checks are usually provided by the police or security service in your country.
Medical checks must be done by a Panel Doctor. These are doctors who are registered with DIBP to offer migration medical checks. They are located in hundreds of cities around the world.
