Form filling

[Jessi1]

hi

Can I use computer to fill the form 80 and 1221 instead of pen?

One more question. I was refused UK visa in 2005 mainly due to my financial situation and UK embassy put some reference number in my passport. Should I mention that in form 1221 and will it effect my case?

"Please use a pen, and write neatly in English using BLOCK LETTERS."
(source: http://www.immi.gov.au/allforms/pdf/80.pdf & http://www.immi.gov.au/allforms/pdf/1221.pdf)

and for the second question, the part of the Form 1221(http://www.immi.gov.au/allforms/pdf/1221.pdf) that relates to previous visa refusals is as under:

"Part K – Additional information
42. Have you ever been denied or refused a visa or entry
to another country?

• No

• Yes Give details

43. Are there any other details you would like taken into consideration?"

Honesty is the best policy. Regarding the influence this declaration could have on your current application depends on how much your financial position has improved since that visa refusal back in 2005. The only additional information based on this that the DIAC might ask for is proof of financial capacity to make sure that you've improved on your position from 2005 - that's the only thing that I can think of.

Omitting this detail could lead to the rejection of your visa as this document is a declaration of information that you know is true and not misleading in anyway.

I used Adobe Acrobat Standard to complete Form 80 - this was over a year ago now but I presume is still acceptable.

Good luck.

Hi Jessi,

Yes, I completed form 80 on the computer then printed, signed and scanned it into a .pdf.

One suggestion - fill in form 80 one page at a time and print each completed page. Form 80 has been setup in such a way that you can't save your data and it was really easy to push the wrong key and reset the form back to a blank form, which was really frustrating after 4 pages of form filling.

Sorry, I can't help with the UK visa question. All the best with your application.

Thank you so much everyone !
