Not a lot, most of the hard work is already done, in fact if you did the right thing, when you got everything for the TRA app certified, you should have got everything else done at the same time. All applicants birth certs, passports etc.

The main app is pretty straight forward, the only thing that springs to mind is the proof of English language ability. I found GCSE exam results in my attic. Which I also had to have certifed by JP, I did all this at the same time, as mentioned above.

Once thats in its medicals, police checks and chucks away

What visa are you applying for?

You may also want to try the Austrlia Immigration Forum as there's stacks of this on there.

Try doing a search on it.

I am not sure which Visa is it Skilled, my husband on the MODL list if that means anything to anyone!!!??!?!?!?

Surely the fact that we were born in UK, lived here all our lives some 32 and 40 years, should show that our English Language is going to be reasonably OK?? ha ha

Skilled indi 136 maybe, MODL job is always a bonus, decreases the process time, I am not on the MODL, so its still stated at 12 months although its more like 8 or so at the moment.

Yes, living all your life in UK you would think would be enough, but you still need proof!!! (At least that is what my agent said)
