As from the 1/9/07....the immigration will not accept the Spouse visa applications that have been filled out on a computer.....they will accept hand written applications on forms that have been printed out from the website.

If you have a partially completed computer written form then it will not be accepted after that date.

The following is from the Australian Immigration web site:

Using Forms and Booklets

How to use these forms

The forms and booklets on this website are designed to be printed out using your computer and printer.

To use an application form, you will need to print a copy, and then fill in the form by hand. At this time, the forms on this website do not allow you to fill in your details using a computer.

The department accepts applications on forms downloaded from this website, irrespective of whether they are printed in black and white or colour.

To the best of my knowledge the above has always been the case but the way it is written suggests that the opposite may be possible at some future time.

Just passing on the info from the website MM
