Re: Happy Days - 189 lodged.
Hi Russel,
I have been going though the various documnets on diac .I found the below
"a person or agency recognised by the law of
the person’s home country"
I am little bit confused .I got all the original certificates pertaining to my education ,work experience .But they mentioned in the documnet that ,the applicant should not provide originals .And they dont take the photocopies.
This creates confusion .
what do they mean by certified copies? or how to prepare the ".‘Certifi ed copies’ means copies
authorised, or stamped as being true copies of originals, by a person or agency recognised by the law of
the person’s home country " .
How to prepare these documents?
" Original documents and certifi ed copies
Do not supply original documents with your application. The department may request original documents
if necessary.
You must provide ‘certifi ed copies’ of original documents which must be attached online to your visa
application. Photocopies of certifi ed copies are not acceptable.‘Certifi ed copies’ means copies
authorised, or stamped as being true copies of originals, by a person or agency recognised by the law of
the person’s home country. In Australia, this means a copy which is authorised as a true copy by a person
before whom a Statutory Declaration may be made. Such authorised persons include the following:
magistrate, Justice of the Peace, Commissioner for Declarations, Commissioner for Affi davits, solicitor,
registered medical practitioner, bank manager, postal manager, an Australian Public Service Offi cer with
5 years or more service.
The department also accepts documents certifi ed by a registered migration agent.""

Re: Happy Days - 189 lodged.
The only requirement so far was me to provide the reference numbers for the IELTS and the skills assessment from AITSL.
I cannot current log into the VISA status page so I cant see the requirement to log anything else at the moment..

Re: 189 visa applications lodged December 2012
hello all,
Well, I lodged my 189 subclass visa on 23rd dec 2012 (which includes PCC & Medicals) and I received acknowledgement from GSM. team 4. And, eagerly waiting for the grant.
Is anyone there travelling in the same boat.
regards,
Amit
