TGF is soon to do the Prospective marriage visa run to the Aus Embassy and was wondering whether she will need proof of her single status, never married etc.. that said - will I need something also ? The celebrant who did our NOIM letter seemed to think that because we have both signed said letter, saying we are both single, that was enough. Something tells me we may need more

If neither you nor your girlfriend has previously been married then they should accept your assertion that this is the case. If either of you has been, then the relevant divorce papers will need to be shown.

Scouse.

Thanks - I tried ringing immigration on this subject - - - > talk about runaround ! < - - - only after talking to 4 different people on the subject, and 4 *other* different people at Births, Deaths & Marriages did I get a definitive answer - "if they ask for it, you will have to do it" B&D wanted to charge me $125 for a bloody piece of paper ! Thieves.
