gigi Posted December 14, 2015 Share Posted December 14, 2015 Hi guys, My partner and I are preparing our application for a 187 visa but I think we have made a mistake!!: we have been in a de facto relationship for more than 3 years. We even applied as a de facto partner when we had to get our 457 visas two years ago but, because last month we got engaged, we have started submitting My Health Declaration form as "engaged", and just now we think that it may cause us problems because "engaged" is less than "de facto", what do you think? This first form has been already submitted but we don't know what to put in our next forms, for the visa application. "De facto"? "Engaged"? We are both actually. Thanks for your help!

Yes you need to use the de facto terminology. DIBP don't care if you are engaged, they care if you are cohabiting and sharing your life, bills, rent, etc etc If you aren't married, you need to be de facto, Being engaged will not help to get your partner a visa except as additional proof of the relationship.
