How much proof do you need?
Under recent work experience, the immi.gov website says you must "demonstrate you have been employed in an occupation on the SOL for 12 of the last 24 months." - How do you prove this? By sending them a copy of your contract? I get the impression that a CV is not going to be enough because you can say anything on there (most people do!)
Do you need a headed letter from your employer? This raises the prospect of telling my employer I'm thinking of leaving, potentially months before I do - not preferable.
Also, I need to prove I'm related to my brother (some of this stuff sounds ridiculous when you write it!) - will our birth certificates be enough? Both will show our parents names and that we were born in the same town.
Of all the things on the checklist these are the ones I'm most worried about as they seem silly little things but could cause a rejection......

You need to send as much info as possible, pay slips, p60, references, job description, anything you write must be certified, it is not necc for anyone to contact your employer all you need to do is ask them not to, and of course certify that as well....good luck, if this does not help you i would contact an agency as they will be able to help you further. good luck.

Re: How much proof do you need?
If you are applying online the checklist tells you exactly what the reference needs to include... from memory, it's job description/title, length of time in role, salary.
You will also need to provide p60's and payslips... OH included p60's for the last 4 years and 3 recent payslips.
Hope this helps a bit!

Re: How much proof do you need?
Thanks for the replies, good job I kept all those payslips and P60s!
I'll copy them and get them signed - whoever does my certifying's going to need a lot of ink
It's a 176 I'm going for.
