queenb72 Posted November 12, 2012 Share Posted November 12, 2012 Hello All I am new to this forum after lurking for a while and have found information given very useful. However I am in a complete befuddle. I am 40 years old and currently work as a Housing Officer in Social Housing in the UK, last October 2011 I started talking to a Melbourne resident online which developed into a relationship talking twice a day and she visited me and I have visited her and we have now decided that we want to make a life together, I should point out we are in a same sex relationship. The Melbourne resident does not want to live in the UK and also cannot leave her Mother in Oz as she is becoming infirm and needs assistance. I am prepared to go to Oz as I believe we should be together and I do love her but looking at the SOL list my job is not listed. I dont think I would be given a partner visa as we have not been together as in physically in the same country for 12 months so I am stuck. Anybody else been in a situation like this? Any info would be gratefully received. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lebourvellec Posted November 12, 2012 Share Posted November 12, 2012 Welcome to PIO. It would be best for you to talk your case through with a Registered Migration Agent. From what you have posted it would be unlikely for you to be able to apply for a partner visa as I dont know if you would have enough evidence. Talk this through with an agent. Another option could be to go over to Australia on 6 or 12 month visa to build up the time together for the relationship requirement but you would no be able to work. Or you could consider a student visa, but this would be expensive depending on which type course you do only work 20 hrs per week. Good Luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
