Question: What exactly do I need to provide? What documents does Immigration need?
To answer the question, you can find out exactly what list of documents you need to provide for a specific visa on the Immigration website (www.border.gov.au). Every visa on their website has a document checklist which you can follow.
Now does getting all the items on the checklist mean you will get a visa approval guaranteed? Probably not. The most important question that successful applicants ask is “Am I eligible?” This is the most important question because an advisor should ask you questions that relate to your eligibility first. After you have been assessed as eligible, you can then put together specific evidence to prove your claims.
Having a precise list of documents that satisfies the requirements, and clearly explains your situation, is far more important than following the standard checklist on Immigration’s website. If you do not understand the eligibility criteria, and how to satisfy them, you may be met with some resistance and hurdles when an Immigration officer is assessing your application.
By providing specific evidence that matches your claims and the requirements, Immigration can make a sound decision based on all the evidence and documents provided (which may sometimes be more than what the standard Immigration checklists require, and sometimes less – but still satisfying the visa criteria).
Get the right advice and find out if you are “eligible”. I also recommend getting a second opinion if you are not confident with your advisor’s experience and knowledge, then make an educated decision yourself to understand the visa requirements.

Hi there,
I have a valid student visa expiring 15th March 2017. Then it will switch over to my bridging visa A ( spouse visa). However, I need to travel to New Zealand on 24th March for my aunty wedding.
In this case, can I submit my bridging visa b now? If I wait till 15th march then it will be less than 2 weeks. I have my air ticket, wedding invitation card and the form ready already.
Could you please advice me on this issue. Thank you.
Kind regards,
Jacqueline
