Hiya,
I am getting on with 47SK application and i am struggling with just a couple of the things they are asking for, any help would be greatly appreciated.
Up to now i've got all the evidence, joint bank accounts, bills, statements from friends, copy of our marriage certificate etc.
Can anyone help with the evidence of JOINT responsibility of our children!!!!!
We have been married 2 and a half years and have lived together for 10 years, we have two children and i am at a loss as to what sort of evidence that could be.......
Thanks for any help again,
Rachel
Don't wish to appear rude but are both children from you current relationship?
If they are you should only have to give copies of birth certificates. As long as they are both living with you I don't think that you need to prove joint responsibility!
If they are not you would need to get a statement of declaration from the absent parent stating that they allow the child/children to emigrate, and this must be witnessed by a recognised official body.
Do you have an agent, they should be able to advise you.
Hiya,
yes, both children are ours and no we do not have an agent. My sister has emigrated 15 months ago and she used an agent, her situation is the same as ours, married - 2 kids, all she had to send for her general skilled application was a copy of their marriage cerificate and all birth certificates and everything they had sent to TRA.
When i have downloaded the application form it is exactly the same, but on the checklist it asks for all this evidence, whether you are married or in a de facto relationship.
They want proof that we are a genuine couple and that we do live as a couple, which all seems a bit strange considering that we are married and our eldest is 9 years old, i am hoping i am reading the checklist wrong, but the more i read it the more i am convinced that i have to send all this info....
Thanks
Rache
Sorry won't be able to give you an answer. But I'm a bit perplexed too with all the stuff they want you to provide as evidence. My husband and I are quite amused when we have been writing our statements... especially the bit where you have to say how you support each other emotionally, financially and physically? What do you think they want you to write for "physically" - maybe that my husband has to help me walk if I've had a bit too much to drink or do you think they're referring to something more "how's your father, wink wink"? and if it's the latter how much of the sordid details do you think they'd want - yikes!!! And then they ask you when that support began too!!
umm, i was concerned about the joint responsibility of the children, i wondered if they wanted photos of him reading the kids a story at bedtime!!!!
Our statements seem to be very similar, although we have tried to make them read different, but we have helped each other write them and with all the dates and stuff, they are bound to be almost the same.
Some people have said that a certified copy of the marriage certificate should be enough, but i want to get it right first time.....
Let me know if you hear anything

Hi, we received our visas in dec 06 and all we had to send was our marriage cert and kids birth certs, however we did apply 18 months ago and had to be put on hold for our medicals as I was just pregnant when they were asked for. You may just be better sending them a quick email to confirm how much info they want,
As for the emotional support :lol: dont be too graphic!!!!!!!!!
We`ve just completed the application and sent it off and all we included was birth certificates and marriage certificate, i thought all the other evidence was if you were in a defacto relationship, hope i`ve not got it wrong!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
