Green List: Branch
Work to Residence branch
Tier 2 style framing and documentation discipline for work-led Green List threads. Cross-read with the broader WTR hub.
- SMC, Green List, and AEWV context
- Evidence-led occupation framing
- Structured next steps before filing
Green List Work to Residence is a staged branch for list-related planning where time, employer continuity, exact occupation wording, duties, pay, registration, and evidence over the work period all need discipline.
Audience: Applicants whose occupation may sit in a Green List Work to Residence discussion and who need to understand the staged evidence pressure before relying on the route.
Staged branch, staged evidence
This branch is not just about waiting. The work history must remain relevant, documented, and aligned with the route branch throughout the period being relied on.
Continuity needs proof
Contracts, payslips, references, role descriptions, employer changes, hours, and dates should support the same narrative. If the file cannot show continuity clearly, the route becomes harder to rely on.
Compare with the broader Work to Residence hub
The branch page should be read beside the wider Work to Residence page because some applicants need staged-route planning even when the list question is only one part of the case.
Readiness
- Build a dated employment timeline before relying on staged-route assumptions.
- Use the Work to Residence Tracker to organise continuity, employer, pay, and registration evidence.
- Cross-read Straight to Residence only for branch comparison, not to mix criteria.
- Escalate early if dependants, refusals, employer changes, or registration delays complicate the sequence.
FAQ
Common questions
No. Time only helps if the work, employer, occupation, pay, registration, and documents support the correct route branch.
No. The stronger branch is the one that matches the facts and evidence. Labels should not replace route analysis.
Prepare the employment timeline, role evidence, pay records, employer documents, and any registration or qualification evidence that the route may depend on.
