hello, I am trying to figure out how to go about certain documents. 1. Character Assessment- how would you recommend to provide evidence of intention to obtain character assessment. Some applicants included a receipt for an application for a police check.I live in Poland so would a receipt in my mother tongue be fine plus a little clarification of what it is or would I have to have the receipt translated? The same question applies to medical examination and evidence to undergo. 2. I am confused as regards our statements about our relationship. Is one statement written by me and my husband enough covering all the pillars of our relationship or do we need additional ones for each of the areas that we will be submitting the materials for...but then again it sounds a bit of a nonsense doing it twice. Can I just make reference to it saying that the evidence is in my statement? Do I have to use the form 888 or can I write it on plain computer page as I have already done? It is already 6 pages long...not finished yet as it is a 11 year relationship. What's the best way to go? How to sign the statement...computer or in hand...print it out and scan... Does it have to be witnessed by an authority official? 3. Family Register and composition- what are the documents that I can submi here? Uff! Hope you can give me a hand and a bit of guidance. Please. Thank you.

Hello, I have been working for ages on my documents and I came to the point where my files exceed 5Mb. I want to compress them but I was wondering how safe these online tools are. What other ways would you recommend as regards more sensitive documents such as bank statements, agreements etc. I scanned them and set my scanner to 150 DPI but they are still too large. In the end I was surprised that only few pages could be uploaded not to exceed 5mb. It's very frustrating when you think 'finally' and it turns out that not...again. Thank you:)

Hello, can you please confirm whether I am on the right track as regards document translation and certification. I have had my documents (birth and marriage certificates, bank agreements etc) translated. Is a translation plus the original document in my mother tongue enough or do I still need to have these additionally certified by an embassy official that these documents are authentic...? I remember doing so with copies of original documents but these are original ones to be scanned for an online application and not a paper one. Thanks;)

Thank you for your reply. I had most of the 'profound documents' translated but I think that I am not going to have invoices for household items or holiday stays teanslated. I will just provide an explanation. What is the first part of the procedure when lodging the application. I am confused now...you pay and get access to your immi account and upload all your documents? What is with this 2 year period...or do you upload all the essentials after 2 years from your application? But what do you submit with the payment? Please help:(

Hello, Please help me out with the following queries. I would like to apply for a partner visa from outside of Australia. 1. Statutory declaration by parents not in English. Do I Have to have them translated by an accredited translator? 2. I have a 4 year old daughter who has an Australian passport. Do I have to include the application for visa 445 and does she need to meet the health requirement check-up? 3.' All non English documents need to be translated' ....invoices, bills, I presume not? Would a notice claryfing what it it that I am including in a particular file be enough? Would I need to sign the notice in any particular way, provide a statement? 4. I was sure that you upload the documents right after you make the payment for the visa and the access to your immi account is provided to you but according to sources 'You can attach the documents no more than 1 month before the 2 years from your application'. Is it so that after you lodge your application you have the period of two years to submit your documents? Thanks a million:) Have a nice day.

Thx for your answer. I went vack to the page of Home Affairs and it's clearly stated that compressed and encrypted pdf files are not accepted.

Can I write a note at the top of an invoice stating what it is for (vet invoice, accommodation at the lake) etc? The language is not English. Actually, I have,already started doing so and wonder now whether this would not be a problem. Thanks;)

Thanks. Can I write on invoices to indicate what it is for for example 'dog training'? The language is not English.

Hello, Please help me out on this one. I am racking my brains as to the best way of uploading photos and facebook screenshots. Earlier I compressed the merged photos into a pdf file but recently read on the page of Au Home Affairs that compressed files are not accepted so I decompressed them and my file with fb screenshots amounted to 26MB so I split them and it still was much too big and I did it again and it was 45MB and I just dont get how this could be. Can you aid me on rhe best way of solving the problem. Thanks a million;)

Ok. Within that 5 year period how long do I have to be in Australia for the visa not to expire. Is it two years? I have to take into consideration all possibilities, you know.

Hello, Please help! ?Can you please tell me when one is to enter Australia once the spouse visa has been granted. Our case is a bit complicated as we have a fair deal of things to take care of and we need to know how much time we still can be in our home country. I came across a piece of info which stated that the time is counted from the date provided on the medical check-up. Is it really so? And if so when are you asked by the officials to provide it. How does it work? Thanx.

Just found information that the statement can be either written individually or jointly 'a signed written statement detailing the history of your relationship, either individually or jointly...'. I have written quite a detailed piece if work. Frankly speaking, it would save some time especially that my husband is not that fluent. What's your advice?

Got it! Thank you;)

I might be confusing it all. That's why I need a little help. What I have in mind are statements of relationship (proof that our relationship is genuine and continuing& the nature of our relationship )by me and my husband and statements by our friends.
