Sevenseas1982 10 Posted July 22, 2015 Just got a request for more info this morning. Stat Dec for Bermuda will have to go to Aus embassy Did you get the statutory declaration? Why did you go to the Australian embassy? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CaptainC 1,109 Posted July 22, 2015 Did you get the statutory declaration? Why did you go to the Australian embassy? Yes I got it certified rather fast actually! I was in and out in no time at all. Stat decs need to be certified by a consular officer in person. Certain other people are able to certify but the list is very small and they have to be connected to Australia and also qualified in Australia.

CaptainC 1,109 Posted July 22, 2015 HiWhy did they ask for stat dec for Bermuda ??? I believe u had uploaded all required PCC'S upfront.... Because I've mainly sailed on Bermuda flagged vessels. I only uploaded the UK PCC for myself and wife and also a NZ PCC for her also. I wasn't able to obtain a Bermuda one.

CaptainC 1,109 Posted July 23, 2015 I lodged my application on 20th May but no contact by case officer as of now.... You may hear something in the next week or so. There doesn't seem to be much by way of a pattern, some get direct grants quickly/slowly, others get a case officer early and wait for months for a grant and others get a case officer later and get a grant in the following few days. I wouldn't worry too much, if you haven't heard anything by next week then maybe try giving them a call.

Quite true actually coz DIBP'S target processing time is 3 months (for 70% cases)..so I would wait for a week or so before calling them up.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Regards, Sierra The embassy don't do the stat dec, you do. They only certify that you signed it in their presence. You don't need to take anything other than passport as ID to prove you are who you say you are. If they require a character Stat Dec as you say then there is an example here > http://www.border.gov.au/Forms/Documents/character-statutory-declaration.pdf#search=Statutory%20declaration Otherwise see http://www.ag.gov.au for more guidance.
