Immigration Forum / Australia and NZ / June 2005De facto relationship during skilled ind. app
Hi, The timeline for my question is as follows: 1. Oct 2002 Start long distance relationship with girl in UK whilst living in Ireland 2. Oct 2004 Submit skilled independent visa application 3. Nov 2004 Move to UK, start living with girlfriend permanently 4. Mar 2005 Visa grant Myslef and my partner would like to move to Australia together in Jan 2006, but she has not applied for immigration, best she could get is a 1 yr. WHV. My question is, what is the best way to approach this? Do I need to let DIMIA know that I am in a de facto relationship now, or not? What would be the best way for my g/f to get to Australia with me? Thanks in advance! > Hi, > [quoted text clipped - 20 lines] > > Thanks in advance! I don't know for sure but can't you apply together? I am applying for a 136 skilled independent visa as the primary holder and my boyfriend who I have been living with for about 2 years is going as defacto on my visa. I will send the application with both of our details and information together. Could you not do this? I already have been granted the 136 and it is in my passport... so my application is complete > I already have been granted the 136 and it is in my passport... so my > application is complete Get some professional advice urgently. You are in a de-facto relationship that presumably you have not declared to DIMIA, however while the period of cohabitation is less than 12 months she is not yet your 'spouse' as far as the Migration Regulations are concerned. You will need to sponsor for a spouse visa later on, so you need to address this point. An online forum is not going to be able to assist you in a complex question like this. You should discuss with an experienced professional your options regarding validating the visa and how you should deal with DIMIA.
