I wanted to get a head start on the extra forms on our visa application - just in case I get a CO in the next few months.

Does just the main applicant need to complete forms 80 and 1221 or is it all people over the age of 18 years listed in the visa application? I need to know if my spouse needs to complete as well.

Thanks

I think 1221 is just the online version of form 80 and online applicants only need to submit one those two. Form 80 is required for paper based applicants..

Thats what I think based on my experience.. My CO didn't ask me for form 80 probably because I'd already uploaded 1221

luck wit that

Yes if your spouse is over 18 thy also need to fill in the form, also any other applicants in your application over 18 yrs. Each needs to send fill separetely...

Form 80 and From 1221 has to be completed by all applicants (including your wife, kids etc) who are over 18 years of age.

There is no connection between From 80 and Form 1221 as someone said.

Yes you need to fill both forms as mention in the DIAC website.

Thank you very much - we will get working on the forms and they will be the last items to upload (besides our PCC and Medical requirements).

Thanks again!

All my docs are showing met and the CO did not yet asks for the form 80 or 1221.
So, what's the conclusion?

My CO asked me to fill Form 1221 but not form 80, I think they are one and the same forms, almost similar in structure.

I'm an online 175 applicant, do I have to fill in this form 1221? What exactly is it?!

Altavista

These Forms are optional. In some cases CO ask for it and in some cases don't ask.

But it is better to front load both forms to save time.

Jen1977ni

Yes but what exactly are they!?

Right ,i agree.

Jen the form 80 is information required for 'Personal Particulars for Character assessment'
and Form 1221 is 'Additional Personal Particulars information'

Both forms are pretty self explanatory.

They are used to supplement your main application information.

Form 80 and 1221 ask some similar questions and some questions are completely different.

So should they be something I get filled in now and attach to my application?

My case officer never asked me any of those forms. Well.. he never contacted me either.. I had form 80 ready to upload, and when I checked my online status, I was granted the visa. So the conclusion..its not mandatory to upload them...
I uploaded my salary slips, taxpayment documents and details of professional memberships and chartership details. I guess if you provide more details like that, the CO wont spent much time for job verification.
