de facto visa Posted on: Tue, 14 Mar 2006 11:57:42 +0000


hi, just wondered if you anyone could point me in the right direction!

i am looking to apply for a spouse visa in a de facto relationship and
just want to know what types of evidence other than joint bills and
accounts will be accepted.

i have been with my girlfriend, who is australian, since july last year.
i met her while working in oz and i had to leave her in september due to
working back in the uk.

i was working in the army with her flat mates and they will be able give
us written references, also her parents are willing to do the same.

we kept in touch by phone and email and she came over here in november.
she lived with my friends and family until we got a flat together at the
start of the month. they are also willing to give written references to
supprt this.

i am leaving my job at the end of the year to join her in oz and have
been guaranteed a place to stay with her family until we get on our feet
and help finding a new job when im there. i also have an assurance of
support if needed.

in total we have been physically together for 8 months, the rest of the
time apart was due to work commitments. im looking to apply for my visa
in august. can anyone give me a few hints and tips on what i need so i
can gather as much evidence as i can. also how much do you reckon it
will cost altogether?

i have had a nightmare trying to find out info from "official"
immigration web sites and beauraus so any comments and info from here
will be great!!!!

thanks!!
