defacto visa

[jaqmaria]

Hi my name is jacqui and i have just recieved my visa to migrate under 136..hurray. BUT met my new partner 4 months ago, so all plans have changed and i have to wait longer. can anyone tell me if he can apply as a defacto partner after we have lived together for a year and if so will he be able to work as a painter and decorator his trade or any job under a defacto visa sa it will be more compliacted for him to apply as a trade person due to broken employment history whislt he travelled. all help welcomed as thanks

Hello Jacqui, if you go on the australian house website all the info is there, you can go as engaged partners aslong as in 9mths of moving you are going to get married, if not then can get messy ,as if you both dont wish to be together after you get there ,you both have to come home, or reapply separtly for them. but with the house boom a painter and deco will be very helpful to them.
