rachel

thank you for your detailed response, i have just informed partner who is delighted, poor soul would never have pushed the issue. so we are discussing who to get statements from as wish to keep it low key for the time being.

we will be heading for Townsville, nth queensland as that is where the rest of his family are, i'm really excited and hoping that darling teenage daughter doesn't throw a spanner in the works.

hi everyone, Im carrie (aussie) and in the process of doing up our visa application. all so daunting at the moment. been planning of moving back to oz for some time now but this process of getting the application together seems so huge. have two little ones (australian citizens by decent) so hopefully the proces shouldnt be too complicated. planning on moving back to brisbane where im originally from (albany creek on the northside). counting down the months as i plan to go back with the children at the end of the year and then my hubby to follow out later, early next year.

Congratulations Tracey and Jof - wow you are off soon!!!! How are you getting on with all the arrangements?

Hubby is just off the the post office to pick up his visa/passport as we missed the delivery yesterday - can't believe how exciting it is to get it the visa in our mitts. Now off to sell some more stuff/clearout and decorate the house to put up for sale. Hopefully we're off Brisbane way around August!!

Congrats too to Tracey and Jof and to the Elliotts of course!!

Carrie - when are you planning to go? And whereabouts are you in the UK now? I must update the stats as there are so many of us now on here!!

We are off to Brissie too.........but not until early 08.

Congrats to you guys who have received your visas - you lucky things

I'm going down to london on wednesday to get mine & kids passports. Not applying for oh visa till later in year.

BTW - RachelH we have changed our minds from adelaide and will be going to brissie instead - summer 08 hopefully.

cheers

Oh No!!!

Do we need certified copies of passports of the Aus citizens who have done the stat decs??

Yes you do need either certified copies of passports or citizenship certs. for your stat declarations.

And by the way congratulations to everyone who got their visa's.

Oh dear, more nagging to my family in Aus then!!!

I have people in the UK written some statements about or relationship, they have signed and dated and given their name and address, would they need certified copies of their passport aswell?

Lucky I saw this as I was about to submit my application without the certified copies of the people who have done my Stat decs in Aus. Would also be interested to know if you need to do the same for the UK ones!

Same here!!

I wouldn't have known about the certified copies if it wasn't posted in here (thanks!!) I have now in a panic e-mailed my family in Aus to request it. The poor family have had me nagging for the stat decs and now I'll be nagging for these!

Very interested to know if copies of passports etc are required for the UK people though!!

I dont think you need to get cert copies of passports for people who do UK stat decs as infact you arent required to send in stat decs from people in the UK, its just that people suggest it as more evidence.

hey folks,

i sent certified copies of passports for ozzie stat decs, but people in UK stat decs were just signed and witnessed.

we werent asked for extra info about the uk ppl, so i assume that was fine

best of luck to you all

Tracey
