FIANCEE VISA APPLICATION LETTERS – 24/7

If you are bone fide in wishing to marry in Australia under the Spouse or Fiancee Visa, then I am able to marry you according to laws in Australia. I provide couples with letters to DIMIA (Department of Immigration and Multicultural and Indigenous Affairs) which state that you have lodged the Notice of Intended Marriage form , and a non refundable lodgement fee, with me in preparation for the marriage once the visa is granted.

Apart from the above very important letter everything else is exactly the same as for any other wedding.

So if you need that ‘Letter of Intent’ quickly give me a ring – NOW. I can arrange to have the Letter ready in 15 minutes after we meet. Remember that only one of the parties needs to sign the NIM in the correct manner. So is one is in Australia and the other overseas then it is possible for the one in Australia to sign the NOIM and have it witnessed in Australia and then lodge it with me Graham Lambert. The other party overseas can sign it when that person gets to meet up with me before the wedding or when they come out on a tourist visa just visiting. I will give that person who lodges the Notice of Intended Marriage  (NIM)form three copies of the letter 5 minutes later – either personally or in the post. The couple then use this letter to assist them with their application for their visa.

The original NIM has to stay with me till the wedding is concluded where upon I then give it the Department of Births Deaths and Marriages to register the marriage.

Some more information that may be pertinent to Visa wedding applicants is below.

Karen S.   01 May 2015 Graham is based in Perth and I found him online as I wanted to find a celebrant that mentioned “humour” in the description of their service. Graham was just perfect – he encouraged us to write our own vows which ended up a real highlight with a balance of humour and love. His style was gentle, kind, easy and professional. He was also very aware of what made a good shot for the photographer – I highly recommend him!

More information

“DIMIA said I have to get the letter from the Registry office” You don’t have to. The Registry Office is in the city and they marry people as I do. We are both authorised to marry people according to law in Australia. So book in with me, have the type of ceremony you want, in a lovely location of your choice at the time of your choice (eg on a weekend at a beach) and I am cheaper!!

Download the Notice of Intended Marriage (NOIM). Complete page 3 in on the computer or in BLACK biro please, or wait until you see me – OR
If in a real rush (and you are in Australia)- complete the NOIM, take it to a local police station, or JP, get them to witness your signature on page 4, then scan and email pages 3 and 4 to graham@formywedding.com.au . It is ‘Lodged’ when I pick it up from my email box. Only one person needs to sign the NIM to lodge it if both can’t do so at this time. I will get you to post the original NIM to me by registered post once I have checked it and got back to you. If you are overseas, you need to do the same as in Australia except authorised witnesses are different. See the back on page 4 for a list of authorised people who can witness your signature overseas then follow the process mentioned at left.

What if I am going through a Migration Agent? This is fine. Just say that you know of Graham Lambert, and say that he will write you the visa letter for DIMIA once you have lodged the NOIM and paid the Booking Fee.

What if I am in a hurry to get a letter for DIMIA? Graham is quite flexible. He has had prospective clients at 9.30pm in the evening so that they may have the letter for DIMIA ready for the next day. Just contact me on the above numbers and I will arrange a time for us to meet.

How much do you charge (Prices)? I charge no more than for any other wedding with my schedule of services. Currently these are:  Listed on my Home Page for my full service, including letters for DIMIA. All I ask for a non refundable lodgement fee, of $150 to confirm this booking, which is part of the full fixed price.

Do I need an interpreter? This depends. To have non English documents translated into English (eg birth certificates) you need to have them translated by a NAATI certified translator. If one of the couple [or witnesses] does not speak English ( at all or very poorly ) you need to have an interpreter at the wedding to translate the ceremony. This can be any person who speaks the languages well and doesn’t have to be an official translator. The point about this is that the couple and the witnesses MUST understand the ceremony, in particular the legal parts of the ceremony. The interpreter at the wedding must sign a statutory declaration to this effect that they have translated correctly.

Got any questions? contact graham on graham@formywedding.com.au

So don’t delay, give Graham a ring today.
