Cheers Penky, it would be great if you could post the template...it does seem on the face of it like a long and laborious part of the process, I think that is why we've left it till last as well!
Thanks for the gee up and help :thumbsup: |

Thanks for the gee up and help :thumbsup: ok there is this from my migration agent Template Statutory Declaration This statutory declaration has to be signed in front of a notary public, magistrate, solicitor or justice of the peace. Please note the witness must sight some form of photo identification of you in order to sign the statutory declaration. Date I, Name, of Address, a Profession/Job Title, do solemnly and sincerely declare as follows: How you first met and how the relationship developed. Significant things you have done together Your plans for marriage, if you have any. If you don’t – why not? That you see your relationship as permanent, and an outline of your future hopes and plans. Value of your goods, assets and money that you will be transferring to Australia; how you plan to support yourselves when you arrive in Australia. If you have any further points you wish considered when the decision maker assesses your relationship, add this section here. and theres also this http://www.immi.gov.au/migrants/part...lationship.htm hope this helps!! :D |

Hi Everyone,
I went awol so thought I'd pop in and say hello and catch up on how everyone is going! Congrats to those who got their visas recently and good luck to those who are yet to apply! We are planning on returning to Aus in Feb 2008. I'm still a tad nervous about the money situation as we will need to continue to pay our UK loans when we're in Aus, so we pretty much need to get a job straight away. I'm sure it'll all work out in the end tho - just can't help but worry a little. Sorry I disappeared for a bit, I just felt that I wantd to go back to Aus NOW and being on this forum seeing people leave for Aus etc ws making me home sick so I thought I'd have a break away! Going to read back thru some of the posts now to see if I can catch up!!:thumbsup: |

Ours wasn't that formal... just wrote the story... none of that I sincerely declare stuff. Didn't even sign ours, let alone have them witnessed.

We put together a timeline starting with when we met and put down anything important like holidays, day trips, social events like weddings and nights out, clubs joined, important purchases like houses etc and then worked from that to put the relationship statement together. Mine ended up about 2000 words, but as you already know I do tend to waffle :D

Re: Spouse Visa Circle - join here!
Thanks for all the tips guys - you've made me smile on what is not a good day - just had some bad news about my job (or probably lack thereof as it will be). Was reading the thread about 'does your poo smell different in Oz' and cracking up at that too!:D
I think I'll get down to doing the statement tonight. At least bad news about my job makes the decision making process of whether to go to Oz easier! (That and the fact my OH will die if I say I want to stay here longer than the end of this year!!). Karma sent to you all for taking the time to reply and sharing your experiences with me. YOU GUYS ROCK!!! :thumbsup: |

I would be tempted to plead ignorance.... can it really be that much of a change that they would reject your application on the basis of an out of date form. The form we used for the x-ray was out of date.

What you could do is send it off with the "old" form and put in your covering letter that you are waiting for the "new" forms to come back from oz. I bet you'd have your visa before they arrived anyway. We did a similar thing, we sent off two 888's and said that we are waiting on two more 888's to come back, but we didn't need them in the end.

The two 888s we sent off were both UK people. We asked them specifically because they worked with people that could witness them. One was witnessed by a teacher and one was witnessed by a building society manager.

Nowe im really confused-as Im sure it says on the 888 cover sheet that it is for Aussies only and if you are getting UK folks to do then dont use the form! Oh well perhaps as long as you send some form of decs in they are ok..
