If the fact of your wife's employment is the issue then, social
security, superannuation, taxation, salary advice/bank deposits for the
relevant period will help.
If the nature of her duties is the issue then, all of the previous plus
a full VERFIED, duty statement as well as the previous. You are unlikely
to discover the specifics of the issue without seeing the DIMIA 'work
check report' so cover every possibility. Once DIMIA get a bee in their
bonnet on this criterion it is hard to change their mind, they will give
full credit to the work report, however spurious, and none to you.
A Freedom of Information Request will probably not be enough to have the
work report released, DIMIA will almost certainly invoke the 'Privacy
Act' an enter a claim of exemption. In any case you will not have time
to complete this process.
Have fun.
