Hi everyone,

I am looking into applying for 820 and I am not 100% sure whether for statements mentioned at the DHA website partner visa page (such as the statement on how the housework's distributed) they should be a joint one, i.e. my partner and I write it together and sign it, or we should write a separate statement on the same topic, and sign our own copy and submit both versions.

Any suggestions? Thanks!

Separate statements. You'll find the narrative boxes in the online apps for applicant and sponsor are counted as the statements. You can choose to type them out and upload statements instead of using the boxes in the app if you choose. Either way, each statement needs to be in each of your own words and answer the 5 questions in the online app.

Thanks! You have been really helpful. I have a follow-up question though, is there a comprehensive checklist for online application? If I am just looking at https://www.homeaffairs.gov.au/trav/visa-1/801-, they don't really have the exact documents needed listed out one by one. For example under the sponsor document section https://www.homeaffairs.gov.au/trav...pporting/Pages/partner/sponsor-documents.aspx it only mentions sponsorship form, identity documents and character documents. So it wasn't clear on first glance that the sponsor would be having separate statements.

Thanks again!!

That's because the "statement" is built into the online sponsorship form.
