After one month waiting, I finally heard from my CO today but again it was a big shock!
She asked for a long list of docs regarding my employer and employment such as employer' bank statement, time and wage records, info of all staff, my pay slip, etc. etc.
Isn't it strange for essential skill work visa application? I've heard that they may only do employer check during residency application.
Does anyone have a clue why I'm asked to provide these? Is it possible that my employer had some credit issues before?
