Hey everyone,
I'm an Australian and my partner is English and currently on a working holiday visa which expires in mid November. We are considering applying for a De facto visa however we have a few questions. We have also heard about paying for a migration agent to help us make the right steps and achieve permanent residency for my boyfriend.
How much does this visa cost ?
How long does the process take?
What are some things my partner and I should be aware of in terms of evidence that we have been together for a year?
Any advice or suggestions?
Or any alternative routes we should also try? In regards of employment sponsorship; my partner is not a professional, he works in a warehouse as a fork lift driver, so his career may not be appropriate?
P.S we have tried calling the immigration department up, and they have been short, vague and unhelpful.
Thanks x
