Donnab03 Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 hi im near completion of my 309 spouse visa, everything you have sounds good. the people who are doing the stat decs do you have to be there at the witnessing as they have to swear its the truth. im not to sure when it come to your police checks. My boyfriend who has dual nationality didnt have to do medicals or police checks just me. Hope this helps a little. Good Luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zeroasylum Posted December 4, 2012 Author Share Posted December 4, 2012 Thanks for the reply. I have seen a list of people who can witness the stat decs in Australia. Does the ame list apply here as I believe a teacher is on that list and as I am one I have many friends who are. Thanks Zeroasylum Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rupert Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 As you are the applicant, why would your wife be getting police checks? Surely it is you that needs to do that. If stat declarations are required and you are in the UK then you need to follow the UK process, UK wording and a notary public can witness the stat dec, teachers cannot. That said, I am not sure you actually have to get stat decs outside Australia, I thought many people just provided written statements. I didn't get this visa however, I am sure some people that did will be along shortly to share their experiences. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
