Claudia CB Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 Hi there, Have you considered a partner visa on de facto grounds? You'd need to see if you fulfill the visa requirements (the biggest issue here is whether you can be considered to be usually resident in Australia). Otherwise, you could consider adding them on your visa if your current visa allows this, keep in mind some PR visas do not allow partners to be added at a later stage if they were not included in the main application. My opinion is that you should talk to someone who has experience with regards to the "usually resident" part since you will need to put forward some convincing arguments to be able to sponsor someone on a partner if you are still in the UK as an Australian permanent resident or look at your other options for fullfilling the visa requirements.
