I'm hoping the visa will come through within a year (fingers crossed ) and I'm in a position whereby the day I get the visa will be the day I book the flights and hand in my notice (work know of my plans so it won't be a shock to them).

I am a part time teacher & when I did an on line assessment through an angency it said I had 115 points. Great I thought, now my only dilema was whether I really could go for it, be brave & leave everything behind. Last night I started reading the Booklet on General Skilled Visas & it said that to be 'employed' meant working over 20 hours a week. I only work two days as I have young children at home. So, is that me out of the picture? Any advise?

So far I've uploaded the following documents:

-P60s for the last 6 years
-Passport
-Recent payslip (May 08)
-Passport photos
-Job reference from HR department
-Job reference from manager
-Job reference from colleague
-Skills assessment letter from ACS
-Completed Form 80 (Personal particulars for character assessment)

Is there anything else I ought to upload, or can I sit back and relax? (ha!).

I've been employed by the same company for the last 11 years (until the end of May 2008) - is there any point in attaching more P60s or payslips?

Also - apart from receiving the automatic notification e-mail the day after I lodged the application, I've not heard any more. Do they send out any notification that they've received all my documents, or will I hear nothing until I get a case officer (which I'm guessing is a good 6-9 months off?)

I've done the majority of uploading of items asked for but haven't yet done evidence of overseas qualifications (was planning on uploading certificates/transcripts and for evidence of specific work experience/evidence of work experience (was going to upload refererences/contracts). I hadn't thought of P60s/Payslips, is that what everyone else has done though and how far have you gone back?

Cheers

Then like you for overseas qualifications I sent them my certificates & their transcripts.

Cheers
