newstart80 Posted October 11, 2016 Share Posted October 11, 2016 I know it's a long-shot but I was just wondering if there's anybody out there who is applying for a work visa and who'd be willing to help me out by taking me along as their de facto partner? (I know it's not as straight forward as just "taking me along".) I know that I'll likely get some disapproving responses from this but please don't be too quick to judge me harshly. I just want to make a fresh start and be happy, and I figure there's no harm in asking. I'm 36, self employed, and have no close friends or family. There's no major sob story, but to put it bluntly; my life here in the UK is simply going nowhere. One way or the other, I will be leaving the UK to start again somewhere new - and sure, there are plenty of places other than Australia where I could legitimately move to, but Australia is where my heart is. I have visited many times over the years and I love it there. I'd move in a heartbeat if only I was permitted to work. If you think you may be able to help me out, please do get in touch. I know it's unethical, but you'd be doing a good thing by helping someone to change their life for the better! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quokka2005 Posted October 11, 2016 Share Posted October 11, 2016 Retrain and do it yourself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newstart80 Posted October 11, 2016 Author Share Posted October 11, 2016 Retraining and doing it myself would be the noble thing to do and I wish that it was a viable option for me. In reality, it would be 4-5 years of hard work and financial struggling, learning a skill I have no real interest in and without any guarantee that it will still be in demand in Australia at the end of it all. I'm unhappy and I'm looking for a fresh start and something to look forward to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quokka2005 Posted October 11, 2016 Share Posted October 11, 2016 I very much doubt you're going to get anyone contacting you offering to marry you for a visa or whatever. If you cant/arent willing to retrain then i guess you'll have to just be happy with long holidays there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Picachu Posted October 11, 2016 Share Posted October 11, 2016 :err: Is this a serious question? It would be impossible to prove a de facto relationship with a stranger. You would need proof of this relationship such as evidence of shared residence, joint bank account, joint mortgage payments, shared house ownership etc. ... and through such evidence you would need to demonstrate the relationship existed for a minimum of 12 months prior to your visa application Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quokka2005 Posted October 11, 2016 Share Posted October 11, 2016 Are you a relation to jack that used to be on here looking for someone to give him a visa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newstart80 Posted October 11, 2016 Author Share Posted October 11, 2016 I'm absolutely not looking for someone to marry for a visa. I never even mentioned marriage. And I also very much doubt I'll get anyone contacting me (I wrote as much in the original post.) Thanks for your responses Quokka2005 but there's really no need to be condescending. I'm aware of my situation and I'm trying to change it. I can do without comments advising me to just be happy with what I have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newstart80 Posted October 11, 2016 Author Share Posted October 11, 2016 @Quokka2005 - I am no relation to anybody on here, or anybody who used to be on here. @Picachu - Difficult, but not impossible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quokka2005 Posted October 11, 2016 Share Posted October 11, 2016 I'm not trying to be condescending but to me you are asking for someone to pretend they are in a relationship for you for a kvisa? So i dont know why you're getting grumpy about me mentioning marriage. Its not just as easy as adding someone on, you have to prove you are together. If you really want to move then retraining is the best way, is there nothing you would enjoy doing that might give you the possibility of moving?

Guest The Pom Queen Posted October 11, 2016 Share Posted October 11, 2016 It seems you last joined us in October 2015. I guess from your post here that your TRA failed due to insufficient evidence. As the request you have made today is illegal I will now close this thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
