Secondary applicant (marriage cert/statement)

[pwancess]

Hi,

OH and I are getting all the documents ready for when we send off our application for a subclass 175 visa.

We have been married for 4 years. Is a certified marriage certificate enough?? As on the IMMI website it talks about (quote):

In all instances, you must include evidence that your relationship is genuine and continuing and you have a commitment to a shared life together

Do we need to write a statement too?

Cheers!

hi there, As evidence of my ongoing relationship with my o/H I got some friends to write a statement of how log they have known us, how they know us and how they viewed our relationship and to state if they felt our relationship was genuine and ongoing. I also sent copies of a joint bank statement, mortgage statments and a couple of old bills. I had no problems with this. oh we also wrote a statement each about how we met and how we felt about our relationship and our future plans etc. Good luck!

Hi Bramble,
Thanks for your speedy reply!
So I'm guessing your answer is a definate 'yes' then.
Better get some friends to write something nice about us and each other...lol

Thanks again... you got your visa quickly!

Hi,

I just sent our marriage certificate (we'd been married 12 years and 2 children) - they didn't ask for anything else.
