Thank you ?

Thanks, can anyone recommend a decent agent that we can discuss this with?

Im 41. My current job role of Digital Business Analyst isnt on the SOL. Only other option is for me to leave job, house and UK to live with him for 12 months then submit application but would have to sell up to fund it, which obviously would I'd be doing eventually but if visa is declined even after the 12 months living together......

Thank you for your advice everyone. Its really good to know. Yes, the 12 month living together is the major stumbling block at the moment, it's hard especially when I have mortgage and full-time job in UK, so we're contemplating the risks involved as marrying just to get a visa doesn't sit right with me. I've been collating records / evidence of our relationship for the past few years. We'll be opening joint account when i go back in November, but we have transferred money to each other in the past, which I have record of. My partner lives in WA, and I mentioned to him about registering our relationship there. Do they do that in WA? Keep the info coming guys, its much appreciated as its such a complicated process ?

Hi all. My first time in here. I have a question, and would appreciate some info. I am from (and living in) UK my partner of 5 yrs is in Oz and we have conducted our relationship long distance in that time with obvious multiple trips back and forth in this time (I have just returned from my 10th visit and am due to go back in Nov for 6 weeks) We're looking to apply for an 820 visa so the plan is for me to sell up and go over to oz where we'll then apply. My question is, can I go to oz on the normal holday eta visa, then apply for 820 when I get there (this is what the migration agent we saw said we could do) OR do we apply for the 40SP visa first for him to be my sponsor to intitally get me there, then we apply for the 820?? I only ask as have seen a thread on here saying if I go via the holiday visa and then lodge 820 whilst still on the hol visa, there's a risk I could get the holiday visa revoked and then could be barred frm travelling to Oz again, and we defo don't want that, so need to know which is the right visa to get to get me there. Thanks Sam [emoji2] Oh, and I'm a Digital Business Analyst if anyone knows if thats classed as a skilled occ, specific job title is not on the SOL and I don't think my role fits under the ICT analyst Sent from my GT-I9505 using Tapatalk
