My friend is in the process of doing a 136 non modl visa for her and her husband. He is the main applicant and they are hoping to lodge in the next couple of days as he turns 30 mid march and after that date they need the extra 5 points. We didn't think they'd get there as they had loads of delays on getting his documents for his skills assessment but after a pleading email they got their letter today, after only 1 and a half weeks!! A record i'm sure. (are we right in thinking that as long as Diac get it before he turns 30, ie receive it at their office, not the acknowlegement, that they've done it in time!?)

Anyway as they have no agent and it seems pretty straightforward i've been trying to help but having had a far more complicated case, 2 kids and so on we used an agent so didn't really jot down everything we did, just followed agents direction.

Am I right in thinking all they need are: (certified copies of)

Skills assesment letter
References for last 3 years for him (following dima guidelines on references)
Full Birth certificates for them both ( both born in UK etc) with parents names on.
Marriage certificate
Her degree certificate for proof of English language
Fully completed form
All his certificates
Copy of photo page of passport
2 passport photos

Is there anything else?

And finally he is an epileptic. They are aware they might get rejected but feel this is the last chance to get there. I've seen a few threads and he's going to get some letters from GP and so on to support the fact that he can work etc despite not being allowed a driving licence. Does anyone know of anything else he could include to help his case?

I'm grateful to anyone who reads this and might be able to help.

Thanks

Yes, as long as it reaches DIAC before the date he is 30 it should be ok.

Here is the checklist for the 136 visa: http://www.immi.gov.au/skilled/checklists/136.pdf

i thought i read, that if you hold a british passport, you do not need to prove your english language???!!!!

You can hold a British passport and still not speak English. You have to have a British birth certificate and be a native English speaker to not have to prove language ability
