Hi friends
I have ben asked to fill form 80....
in it there is a question regarding contacts in Australia.....I have my sister (cousin) in Australia....Actually earlier when I submitted my online app , I had written that I donot have any contacts in australia, becaz i didnt have her contact details then...
Is it okay if I write my cousin's details in form 80 now?...or should I repeat my earlier answer ....
kindly suggest

go ahead and put the contact details. it doesn't hurt. she is only your cousin.

I'm not sure of the dilemma here. You tell the truth. If you have a contact in Australia then you put that you have a contact in Australia. If you don't then you say no.

I suggest, If u have said "No" in the initial application.. U can as well say "No" in form 80......

Thats again not necessary... as during the course of time.. any of your relatives might have visited oz and staying there now... yeh.. so now you wish to give cousin's details in form 80...Hmmmm....circumstances change...

HI Dorothy
the dilemma is in the fact that I had earlier told DIAC (in the online app) that I didnt have a relative,while I actually had one (my cousins been there for the last two years, but I dint have her contact details, I got her details only two months back)
So my doubt is...'should I have informed DIAC earlier thru a change of circumstances form regarding this change?...will it be abrupt if I mention all of a sudden in Form 80 that I have a relative in Aus ...wont it contradict my earlier statement that I dint have anyone there??
kindly suggest
and thanks to Rodger and divsman

Dorothy

what's to suggest? You MUST TELL THE TRUTH ON ANY FORMS TO DIAC. It is crystal clear. Tell the truth on form 80

Dorothy

This is actively encouraging the OP to lie in his application. Please stop doing this. DIAC expects applicants to be honest in their application and deceit in the application could be grounds for refusal.

You can always put a note underneath to the effect that you did not know her contact details before, so weren't sure if she was in Aus, therefore did not mention her!
