lynnlamont3004 Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 Hi, I am currently going through my visa process, I am at EOI stage and I have now been asked to do a personal statement. The visa application is for myself, husband and 3 children, myself being the main visa applicant. I am not quite sure what I need to write or how to start it or even how long it has to be. if anyone can help I would be most grateful thanks.

emmiejay Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 When I did mine I told them about our jobs, what the kids where doing at college, why we had chosen australia as a place to settle, I was advised to show a little knowledge about the area we had chosen to settle in so I wrote a little about schools and colleges we had had researched hope this helps, ours was only a page long, good luck with the process it feels like your waiting forever but it only took 12 weeks from EOI to grant[emoji1] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you mean it is for state sponsorship or something? Or maybe it is done thing new? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lulu2014 Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 I have just recently submitted my EOI & I did not do a personal statement, I have never heard of it. Just wondering is this something new and who requested it? Are you going through the process yourself or was the personal statement something your agent requested? Perhaps it is to be submitted with the visa application and not EOI - just a thought? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It sounds like it is something they have dreamt up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

emmiejay Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 When I submitted my application for state sponsorship (QLD) they asked for me to send a letter telling them a little about us and the reasons we had chosen Australia(QLD) as a place to live. Not a personal statement as such more of a family statement lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lynnlamont3004 Posted September 16, 2014 Author Share Posted September 16, 2014 Yeah think ur right it's more of a family statement that I have to do for Adelaide SA, don't think it's a must but agent said it helps, so will do anything lol!
