Immigration Forum / Australia and NZ / September 2003Stat decs from friends/family
Are they any guidelines or similar anywhere that would help friends/family who have agreed to fill in stat decs for us? I have a copy of a suggested stat dec from elsewhere on this site, but I'm about to start contacting people and sending them the form - it would be useful if I could give them some guidance about what they need to include and how they get the forms signed (bit hazy on that part myself). Any ideas? If you have a look on the DIMIA website, for form 888 (link below), you'll find a Stat Dec form designed for use in Australia - its fairly structured, and gives you a rough idea what to write. http://www.immi.gov.au/allforms/pdf/888.pdf As for getting them signed, find a friend who is a solicitor or JP etc (if you're lucky) and they'll usually do it - ask around, and you'll be surprised how many people are JPs. Alternatively, go in to most solicitors offices, and they'll do it for you - but beware of the costs - they vary greatly, so get a quote first. If you're still stuck on the wording of the Stat Dec, send me a pm and I'll get back to you.

That's exactly what I needed - thanks Pollyana. DOn't quite know how I missed that form...must have been when my eyes glazed over from have stared at the DIMIA website for so long... Took me ages to find it too - then someone on here pointed me in the right direction. Give me a shout if you need any help. |
