I got the following request for information on our PMV application.
Evidence of single status
Please provide evidence that both parties are single and legally able to marry in Australia. This may be in the form of a divorce certificate (if aplicable).
We already front loaded both of our divorce documents -
Applicant - Final Decree of Divorce (South Africa)
Sponsor - Divorce Order/Certificate that the divorce order has taken effect (Australia)
Could these have been missed? Should I just resubmit them with a letter of explanation?
For myself, I have also received a letter from Home Affairs in South Africa to confirm my status as "Divorced". I will upload that too.
I have seen that in the ACT, a person can apply for a Single Status certificate which may be needed if marrying internationally. As we will be marrying in Australia, we don't require this. I don't really want to get it because it will add additional costs and take about 3 weeks. Is this necessary or required from an Australian sponsor? Surely Immigration/Home Affairs is linked to the births/deaths/marriages/divorces registries and can easily verify her status internally!?
