02 / In plain words
What Remarks block (CIIP form) means
Remarks is the explanations field in the Vanuatu CIIP form. Every role has it, but it must be completed for every child under 18.
It shows the child's name and the main applicant's name as parent. This way the Commission sees which applicant the child belongs to.
An empty Remarks field for a child is a common reason for a form to be returned.
A simple example
In the forms of two children we entered their names and their father's - the main applicant - in Remarks. The Commission accepted the file without questions.
