hi there,

i got 820 visa granted in april 2012, and after 2 years period finshed and send all the documents to immi, and after three months they asked me send more documents,
asking for :
statutory declaration from my and my partners parents in under 28 days,
and i did send before time and now its being 3-4 months immigartion people visited my overseas home and asking questions to my parents and nieghbours. IS THAT NORMAL? or may be someone complained about us to immi, ( you know we all have jealous people in our life)

Hi,

Yes it is normal if they have questions about your identity or the genuineness of your relationship. If your parents confirmed your relationship and identity your visa will be granted. The Department is very hot on the integrity of applications these days. In the end it is for the benefit of all Australians.

Regards

It sounds like DIBP are getting hard core on the 801 applications.

This is the 3rd one I have read in the last week where there have been issues.
Yeah, this is crazy. :eek: Guess the 801 isn't just ticking boxes anymore! Or maybe there have been many instances lately of couples breaking up and not telling them so they're cracking down. Honestly, that wouldn't surprise me.

I thought that once you get your 820 they should not be much problem for your 801 to come along . visiting somebody neighbouring . I wonder what kind of questions they ask around .

I have been getting al lot of inquiries from people whose relationship has broken down before they got PR or who were scammed ( according to them) by their overseas partner. So there might well be a crackdown underway. As always those that are doing the wrong thing make it hard for everybody else.

Hey alex007,

Just wondering if you lived in India with your Aussie partner/visited India- family and friends after you got in a relationship/married to your partner?
Can you please share a little bit about your case as the information you've shared doesn't explain much.

Look forward to your reply. Thank you for your help :)
Good Luck!!

Kind Regards,
Becky

hi becky, i met my partner in australia and aftr year so we decided to move in togther in rental property. then we got engaged, i applied 820-801 in april 2012. and after one week i got granted 820. was really quick.

we decide to buy home before we married and have kids ae, so we save up deposit and buy house in 2013.
now just got email about final stage processing visa, we submit all the info they required,

after 12-13 weeks they ask additional documents. like statuory dec from my and my parnters parents. and was really awkward asking parents to sign one, but we did it in end...

now now its being 4-5 weeks last thursday my mum told me over phone that 3 guys came home from immigartion asking about me and my parnter, my parnets visit us twice in three years, we have lots of photos and videos with them, and immi pplz ask my parents to show them again.??? WTF i already submit that photos so,y they need more!!!
really dont know whats going on.

just gonna wait i guess,
reply me with your case ae!

Presumably a sponsor and applicant would request statements from family and friends they keep in contact with and who therefore would be in a position to give their viewpoint of the genuine nature of the relationship.

Even though I and my husband live in Australia, and most of my family have only met my husband once, we Skype and email quite regularly with them so could give their opinion. None of my family or friends are the type who would say something that would give a negative picture of our relationship and if they were, I wouldn't ask them for statements.

My husband and I flew to India together in May 2013 and we lived with my parents (I still am living with them awaiting decision on my visa application) for almost 6 months. We have heaps of photos with the family and when we travelled but thats about it. My parents also provided an affidavit for our 309 application along with 6 form 888s from our friends in Brisbane.

My parents introduced my husband to friends and family as son-in-law but they don't know enough to provide an affidavit/statutory declaration saying that my husband and I are in a "genuine" relationship after him meeting them only once.

Most of the friends don't speak or understand English so it was more of my parents visiting their friends with us; the elders talking and my husband and I listening, nodding and me translating what they were saying :rolleyes:

At the moment I just stay home and keep to myself, don't feel like socializing at all in my current state of mind; its been 11 months since my husband returned to Australia so haven't been going to weddings, birthday parties, baby showers or anything that would make me feel more sad and depressed about my life and situation right now.

I speak to my husband on skype everyday.
But because my parent's friends are all senior citizens, they are not familiar with using technology of any kind so we can't keep in touch with them unless I go and meet them in person every week which is definitely not possible. I'm sure the family and friends would never mean us harm but the neighbours can get jealous at times, that is what I was wondering, if they can screw things up for the applicant. What would happen in that scenario?

Thank you for your reply.

Kind Regards,
Becky

Why immigration making people sign an affidavit ?
 
#22 ·
It is not mandatory but if you CAN get your parents to sign an affidavit then definitely use it. That'll show that your relationship is accepted by your parents.
You need minimum 2 form 888s for the 801 processing from the family/friends/colleagues who know you and your partner.
You can provide more if you want.

Hope this helps. Good Luck!!

Kind Regards,
Becky
