  • Procurei em toda a seccao 2.2 e nas seccoes gerais 1.5 (Fees) e 1.6 por ocupacao, qualificacoes, experiencia, salario, nivel de competencia, escassez ou condicao de mercado de trabalho para a Letter of Permission. Nao ha nada. O que estava aqui era a remissao generica de taxas da seccao 1.5 ('All fees in relation to this Policy are available on the Immigration website'), que nao e ajuste profissional. Concordo com a auditoria.
