Same sex 457 de-facto

[jimbo889]

Hi Folks,

 

Has anyone had any experience with a Same-Sex 457 defacto visa?

 

here's the facts;

 

- We've been in long distance for 9 months and I've visited my partner in Taiwan.

- I have passport stamps to prove this including hotel stays, visits and all social media communication.

- My partner will come to Australia on a holiday/visit me for an initial 3 months and may plan another 3 months. My partner has a 12 month ETA but has to leave every 3 months.

 

 

My partner will be coming across on a holiday visa initially.

 

Any help on collating the correct evidence, what we need etc, bank accounts/social media.

 

On a defacto 457, we need to live together for 6 months, can you see there being any issues?

 

As much help/advice as possible would be great.

 

Thanks.

hi @jimbo889

i came here with my partner as my secondary applicant on a skilled migrant visa. it's crucial that you've lived together for a minimum of 12 months. otherwise, as what i've researched, it most likely will not be approved.

good luck!

For a 457, the defecto requirement is only 6 months. However, you must be defacto - in effect married except for the piece of paper. You will need to establish this with evidence such as household bills.
