Umair Rafiq Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 Hello , I ve applied for 189 visa (me and my spouse ). The document is submitted as a proof is my marriage certificate. The only thing I am wondering is That I have done Nikah only (In Islam it is the religious , legal and official contract of marriage ) but the wedding reception is left which I have postponed for few months as I will shift to new house in few months and also my plan is in case get visa , I will not spend money on house in Pakistan and will move Aussie Land. Currently on all the documents , the address of my wife is different than me , so will it effect my app ? or i need to submit any proof ( like family photos ).

MaggieMay24 Posted September 5, 2015 Share Posted September 5, 2015 From other posts I've read re partner-related visas, the Nikah alone is not enough as it's not recognised as a legal marriage in Australia. I believe you also need to register your marriage to get the government-issued certificate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Umair Rafiq Posted September 7, 2015 Author Share Posted September 7, 2015 I have the official Government Certificate also and have uploaded it already. It is made out of Nikah Certificate issued by the religious court which is originally in Urdu. So basically the Govt one is submitted .If need urdu one (with or with out translation , I can also provide that ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lebourvellec Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 As you are not living together, you may be asked to provide further evidence that your relationship is genuine and continuing, photos will not be suitable evidence. You will need to show you are not living together is temporary. Evidence should include history of the relationship, financial comitment, social contex of relationship, nature of your comitment to each other and nature of the household. https://www.border.gov.au/about/corporate/information/fact-sheets/35relationship Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Umair Rafiq Posted September 8, 2015 Author Share Posted September 8, 2015 The posts says about defacto relationship and I am married (legal in Pak , UK , USA , Canada).

The link provided by lebourvellec is still very relevant because you asked for examples of what you can do to prove your relationship other than just photos. Whilst I realise that your religion and Islamic law mean that you are married, your application for the visa is still being processed under Australian Commonwealth law.
