Hi everyone,
I’m currently lodging my 186 Direct Entry visa and I’ve run into a question regarding consistency in my work history dates:
* On my 462 second-year extension: I stated I worked as a "Packer" until Jan. (This 2nd year was approved without issues).
* On my VETASSESS & Reference Letter: My professional experience starts from Dec due to an internal promotion at the same company.
There is a 6-week overlap where I was officially promoted but was still assisting in the packing area during a "transition period." Both roles were with the same employer (same ABN).
My lawyer and agent say this is normal and suggest providing an explanatory letter (Submission) to clarify that I was handing over packing duties while starting my professional role.
Has anyone here dealt with a similar overlap between 462/WHV forms and a 186 PR application? Did you submit a Statutory Declaration or was a Submission Letter from the lawyer enough?
Appreciate any insights!
