Varoius Inquiries
Hello
I am planning to apply for the skilled migration to Australia. Do I need to submit Police Check Report and Medical Report when lodging the application?
I would like to claim Bonus Points in the community language German. I have done 2 years formal master's degree in a German University in the German medium? Moreover I have the certificate showing that I have passed German language test in order to get admission in the master's course. German language is not my mother tongue. Can I claim my Bonus Points on German language?
Your suggestions will be highly appreciated.
Regards,
Gokul

Assuming that you're applying offshore from Nepal, you do not need to submit either. And, you're advised against submiting them, as they have a validity of 1 year from date of issuance. If you application takes longer than that, you will be requested to re-do the medical and get a new police cert.

To claim bonus points for community language fluency, you need to prove that you've attended a course taught in that language. That qualification has to be equivalent to an Aussie bachelor's degree. You may wish to check out the equivalent standing of the Master's degree from Germany that you hold. http://www.dest.gov.au/noosr/cep/index.htm
To ensure you can successfully claim the 5 points, take a NAATI Level 3 test for interpreter/translator. http://www.naati.com.au
The sole fact of having or not having any language as your mother tongue has no effect when trying to claim the 5 bonus points. Of course, it will be much easier to pass the NAATI test if it were your mother tongue.

I can produce all the requirement ducuments from the German university? Gokul
