Hi guys! If some of you have lodged a Partner Visa in Australia (class 801), have you certified your forms 40SP & 47SP?

Thanks again for your help. Cheers!

Hey guys,

Thanks so much for all this information, I really appreciate your help. I may be back with other questions later, so stay tuned!

Hey there,

I'm currently working on my application for a Partner Visa, but some points are still obscure to me:

- regarding Statutory Declarations, I need at least 2 of them from Aussie citizens or permanent residents, but can I also add stat declarations from friends and family members who are not Australians?

- I did a Police Check for a volunteer work, can I use the same document or do I need to ask a specific Police Clearance for the Partner Visa?

- I'm lodging my entire application online, do I also need to fill in the forms 40SP and 47SP or are they included in the process?

Thanks in advance for your help. I know that the process may have changed since a few years, so I hope some people will be in the same situation as me right now.

I'd better get started! Thanks for your help. Hope I'll have enough docs to prove the relationship. So far, we have rent contract, bills in both our names, we'll maybe open a joint bank account, not sure it's really necessary as we can show transfer between our two bank accounts.

However, I'd have a few more questions:

- how do you write a doc to prove your relationship: level of commitment, financial, physical & emotional support... does it need to be really formal? Can I write it?

- who can make a statutory declaration that our relationship is genuine and continuing? An Australian, but should it be a lawyer or official person? Not a friend?

Thankfully, I still have 6 months on my WHV meaning 6 months to work on this partner visa!!

When he applied for his 190 visa, it hasn't been a year that we've been together, so adding me to his application wouldn't have worked out. Now, it's been over a year so I'm ready to apply for a partner visa. Hopefully proving the de facto relationship won't be too tough as we don't have a joint bank account, or not a tone of documents proving it.

Hey Maggie, thank you so much for your help. So I guess I should get started with my partner visa. Would you know by any chance if the bridging visa A allows you to work full-time or is there a time limit of 6 months with the same employer like with the WHV?

Hey guys!

My partner has just been granted a 190 visa and I am currently on a Working Holiday Visa, hoping to use my partner's visa to stay longer in OZ. I was thinking of being added to his 190 visa as his de facto partner, but I can't find what would be my rights if I stay on his visa.

Can I work?

Can I travel from/to OZ?

Can I pretend to Medicare?

Thanks so much for your help.

Cheers,

Domi
