Salam,i'm Moroccan living in China. my wife got an offer letter to persue her doctorate in Australia and now we are about to procced with her student's visa and my visitor's visa as i can follow her being her spouse.in forms i've to fill there is a question that's makes me feel worried. [b]Have you been denied a visa to Australia or any other country?[/b]. in fact i've been denied a tourist visa to France 8 years ago at Fes consulate in Morocco. i'm afraid to be denied a visa to Australia again just because of this. if i say yes in the form i think my chances to be refused a visa is big. i'm thinking of saying NO but then still afraid they may trace my record to find out the opposite. in your opinion can they do that knowing i renewed my passport and there's no notation of denied visa to France. is there a database of generated system where denied visa is recorded so they will be able to check it?it's urgent so i'll be thankful and grateful to any help or ideas.THANK YOU VERY MUCH//en.yabiladi.com/topics/visa-australia-44-3537212-3537212.html#msg-3537212 Thu, 04 Jun 2026 16:11:45 +0200 Phorum 5.2.15
