Police clearance docs and language ability
 

Hi. A couple of qs for PR application.

I notice the new General Skilled Migration booklet (1 July) has an added paragraph (page 54) about Original Documents. It says that DIMIA requires the following *original* docs with your application:

- evidence of English language ability
- skills assessment
- police clearance.

Am I right in thinking you need to get a police check done *before* submitting the application now?

Also, if I am British and have lived in UK all my life, what would anyone suggest I use as proof of my English language ability? It says earlier in the booklet to 'provide evidence that you are native English speaker'.

Cheers,

s.

The fact that you're English proves it. My wife's status as an American was good enough for them as well.

I have also downloaded this form today and wondered the same thing.
