Guest Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 Any of the agents on here would be good IMHO. I'm doubtful about de facto evidence as you don't seem to have anything paper wise but an agent would be able to advise and rate your chances better. You don't have to have a joint bank account but accounts showing money going between you both to pay for things etc is always good. If you intend to marry this could solve things. Also perhaps look into the PMV and then a partner visa on shore after that. ETA - Current processing times off shore are 10-14 months officially. However, some grants have been coming through a bit sooner in recent times but this is not a given. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isabelj28 Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 I would never remarry would this be a problem,I do t see the need these days . It wont be a 'problem' per se, it's up to you how you want to live your life. However, if you're not married you need to find other ways to demonstrate to DIBP that you're married in all but name and that you're genuinely defacto. For example, can you not get a joint bank account that both of you pay joint bills from but still maintain your seperate accounts for your salary etc.. Can you be on each other's car insurance? What about your wills? That's the kind of stuff they're looking for that legally binds you without being married... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rammygirl Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 Many people these days do not mingle finances so that should not be an issue. You must have 'official' post for each of you showing that you live at the same address, anything in joint names is good or showing transfers or you contributing to household expenses etc. insurance is good if it names you both too. You will need to show something for each month if possible to show the continuing relationship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
