RockDr Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 Naddy, I didn't think the stat decs needed to be backed up with separate evidence. If they did, DIAC would have asked for evidence separately. You just need to describe the various aspects of the relationship in your statement. Hopefully someone else can confirm this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Naddy Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 i think it is a new stat dec form, it is devided in to deifferent sections and your write in the correct spaces, section 7. ' Describe the social aspects of your relationship including social activities, attending special events or joint travel you and your partner undertake. (please provideevidence of this commitment) ' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

' Describe the social aspects of your relationship including social activities, attending special events or joint travel you and your partner undertake. (please provideevidence of this commitment) ' Here's what Section 7 on my form (received 2 weeks ago) says: Describe the social aspects of your relationship including social activities, attending special events or joint travel you and your partner undertake.

Happy Lass Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 Thanks Nadine. If your stat dec is the same as ours, you won't need to send anything unless you are specifically asked to do so. Naddy, I didn't think the stat decs needed to be backed up with separate evidence. If they did, DIAC would have asked for evidence separately. You just need to describe the various aspects of the relationship in your statement. Hopefully someone else can confirm this. That was our interpretation of it too. I did ask for confirmation when I rang them last year and was told that that was all that was needed, however, our case officer would let us know if she needed anything else from us.

Guest Naddy Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 i know : ( it just that it does say it on the actual question stat dec thing, but on the checklist it is not specifically asking for evidence. here we go this is what the checlist end page looks like. 1. statutory declarations - Applicant -Dependent/s 2. TWO(2)statutory Declarations- form 888 - form 888 - evidence of delararant's citizenship or permanent residence - form 888 - evidence of declarants' citizenship or permanent residence 3. Copies of documentation to support changes since the lodgement of your application that may effect your assessment. -evidence enclosed (i'll send my daughters birth cert) 4. original police certificate police certificate from the Australian Ferderal Police(afp) -applicant -dependent/s -sponsor 5. original overseas penal certificate for any country which you have resided cumatlatively for 12 months or more since the grant of the tempoary partner visa -applicant -dependant/s -sponser 6. achnowledge ment card-completed with your name and address - - completed and enclosed 7. certified copy of personal details pages(including page with signature) of your most recent passport held for each appliacnt included in the application -applicant -dependent 8. certified copy of personal detials pages(include page with signature) of the sponsors most recent passort held or an Australian drivers licence from any state or territory of Australia -sponor :arghh: so should i just ring and confirm in the morning? also i have not sent off for a police certificate for my husband and it says so there do i need to ?:arghh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Lass Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 It looks like we received the same paperwork as you did, Nadine. I'm not sure re. the police certificate for your husband; my husband wasn't asked to provide a police certificate but then again we don't have any dependant children living with us except our cats and as the DIAC don't count cats I only had to obtain a certificate from the AFP for me. Best of luck :hug: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RockDr Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 all copies need to be colour. copies of ID documents such as passports, birth certs etc do need certifying. It's if you're sending things electronically that they don't need certifying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Naddy Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 now i have filled in my husbands forms ( he's the sponsor) but has a lot of difficulty with reading and writing i have filled all his other forms out in the previous 2 applications but i think i sent a covering letter expelling that i had helped him or wrote it for him , actually oi think there was a declaration part on the form asking if he had any help which we declared but nothing on these forms so shall i write a covering letter or i dunoo ahhhrrr how shall i word it?

Guest GeorgeD Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 I wouldn't bother with a covering letter...the person witnessing his signature is basically confirming that your husband has signed the declarion in front of them to say it is his declaration. I don't think it matters whose handwriting was used...if you typed it, would you say who used the keyboard?? I got my PCC back yesterday. I sent off for it on or around the 28th March. Given teh Easter holidays, that's 13 working days it took to come back. I paid by Money Order as I don't have a cheque book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Naddy Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 hey georged thanks for that info yes you it makes . air great you can send off your application now, good luck : ) yes i think mine got held up with easter hold : ( keep us updated : ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Naddy Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 just rang immi apparently i have until 4th May , i confirmed that the email clearly states 28 days from when i i received email. Was told that they had already sent request (via post i think) which would have been to a wrong address because just recently had to confirm my correct one :arghh: so the new email saying 28 days is because of the last request so she is giving me til 4th May so will sent my documents in asap when i get the police check hurry up. I will now get worried about what if she doesn't change it in the system and then i miss my deadline ahhrrrr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
