ejonesy Posted September 30, 2016 Share Posted September 30, 2016 Hi, Originally posted in the Migration section but was advised to get the advice of a migration agent..... I'd like to add my girlfriend of 2 years as a de facto on a 457 visa I'm about to apply for. General opinion seems to be as we haven't been living together it's unlikely we wouldn't be granted it is this correct? She will be moving in with me next week but up until now how's been living at her parents and staying at mine a few nights a week. Anything I can do to get around this? She would qualify for a WHV as she's under 30 so is this the best way to go? Thanks Ed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A:Not exactly, a couple can be in de facto relationship or satisfy S.5CB of the Migration Act, but physically not living together, but it may needs to be assessed case by case basis. Q: She would qualify for a WHV as she's under 30 so is this the best way to go? A: Why not, get a WHV first, you can always add her on your 457 late on.
