Yeah, this is my understanding too that the translation doesn’t need to be signed

plus we haven’t received interview call yet hence don’t have any additional requirement regarding this from immigration department.

well our scenario is opposit. we only signed urdu nikah nama during nikah. now we have translated our nikah nama to english. but I am wondering, do we need to sign the translated nikah nama and should we also get it signed from the witnesses?? if someone had a similar case pls respond

@Aisha00! From where did you get this document checklist?

Hi, I have questions from all those who have received their interview call. Did immigration department inform you via email about the time of interview or they called directly without any prior notice ? On what day and time you received the interview call? Regards.

Congratulations Dr Maria, Can you please share your date of pcc, medical and also how much time did you get for your first entry ?? Regards.

Same for me. I have done some internet search on this. As per my understanding, they have divided the previous "Assessment in Progress" into 2 steps. Initial and Further assessment. So in my opinion it shouldn't be considered as recent update in overall process. However, this at least confirms that your application has gone through initial assessment and entered next step.

Hi anupamanoj, The status of our application also changed to Further Assessment. Looks like DIBP has recently made some changes and introduced this new status. Following is the legend for new status.
