LizOz Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 Evidence of living together, ie mortgage, rental agreements, bills in joint names etc. Also evidence that you are "pubically" a couple, ie invites to social events etc. My agent gave me a list from the immigration department as I am going with my boyfriend. I don't think it's too hard to prove. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lebourvellec Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 http://www.immi.gov.au/allforms/booklets/1127.pdf Booklet 1 has all the information required for the Partner visas, but it depends what kind of partner visa that you are going to apply for depending on how long you have been together. If you partner is going to be a secondary applicant on a different kind of visa application the same evidence will still be required. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lostdf3 Posted May 28, 2012 Author Share Posted May 28, 2012 were going on a 457 visa, so my partner will have no restrictions. We put our marriage off once we had decided that oz was going to be the main focus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lostdf3 Posted May 28, 2012 Author Share Posted May 28, 2012 from what we have been told she can work go school etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lebourvellec Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 Yes she can work but can be difficult for 457 secondary applicants to get a job sometimes as there visa is relient on there partners job. Also you say School?? If you mean uni etc would be subject to international fees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im a primary school teacher, would it be better to get my own visa? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paula and Jay Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 Hi I know my fiancée and I had no issues getting a 457 visa. We just sent mortgage statements and bank statemnts dating back a couple of years and that seemed to be enough. My fiancée works in an office environment so not sure of yours would have difficulty getting a teaching position. You're right though, anyone coming as a defacto can work anywhere :-) good luck anyway, we're moving to Sydney in 19 days!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It might be hard getting a job as your 457 visa relies on you still being with your partner and them keeping their job - if your partner loses/leaves job you have 28 days to find new sponsor or leave Australia - sometimes some employers do not like to take the risk with someone when their visa relies on someones elses job.
