Few days ago I have received letter from Sydney Australia Visa Office that they have rejected my federal skilled worker PR application which I filed in June 2010 under NOC 1111-Accountant. This is what their explanation for the refusal:
Age 10
Education 20
Experience 0
Arranged employment 0
Official language proficiency 14
Adaptability 5
Total 49
The only support document for your claimed experience as an accountant between June 2005 and January 2009 is a letter dated May 15, 2010 by a store manager in Karachi, Pakistan stating you were an accountant since June 2005 and lists the duties performed. I am not satisfied that only a letter is sufficient to support the claimed experience. It is not unlikely that a person off the High School would begin as an accountant immediately after getting the high school certificate without any training in accountancy. It is the onus of an applicant to provide enough evidence to support the alleged experience, such as pay stubs, pay direct deposits, work contract, tax declarations, etc.
The only thing on the basis of which he rejected is that I didn't submitted enough evidence to support work experience. What I submitted to them is only my experience letter from my store but unfortunately my store manager didn't mentioned in the letter that I took 6 months on-job training. Nevertheless as mentioned in the letter that "it is NO UNLIKELY" means it is normal for a person off to high school would begin as an accountant, although I know they have done typing mistake but as this mistake is in my favour so do you think this sentence can create any harm if I'll appeal? Other thing is I didnt submitted them any other evidence as my consultant didn't told me to do so but I can arrange all of these evidences now including tax return.
Now my questions are:
1. Is there any option for me to appeal on this decision? If yes how much time I HAVE? what will be the procedure and what documents should I submit this time to be 100% sure?
2. Do I need to care about this sentence "It is not unlikely that a person off the High School would begin as an accountant immediately after getting the high school certificate without any training in accountancy"
Please reply urgently as I got this refusal on 15 march 2012 and its already 11 april 2012
Thanks
