Haha elkitten your a funny one! See....migration agent in the making! Good form helping people out like you are.

I just wanted to add a couple of things:

*My partner is from a High Risk country but he wasn't asked to provide a form 80. I think it depends on your individual circumstances and maybe if they need just that little bit more convincing to approve your visa.

*The longest part for us to get together was definitely the statutory declarations. As elkitten said, get them organised early because people really do like to take their time. We also included stat decs from non-Australians who knew us well as a couple since we didn't spend any time in Australia. They were able to get their stat decs and copies of their passports certified by any notary public in their country of residence, i.e pharmacist, police, etc.

*Include even the smallest and seemingly insignificant pieces of evidence you have...but don't double up too much on the same kind of evidence, for example, 2 or 3 birthday or Valentine's Day cards you sent to each other will be plenty.

*If you don't already have any, see if you can get some of your family members to send postcards or Xmas cards etc addressed to the both of you to show that you are both considered part of the family.

Thats about all I think. Elkitten seems to have covered everything. Good luck everyone!
