jay89 Posted October 30, 2016 Share Posted October 30, 2016 Is it possible to end a de facto visa application which has passed its first round and is waiting on the papers to be approved for the complete process, and apply for a new de facto visa with my fiancé? I split up with my ex (who was my sponsor) approximately 18 months ago and we simply left the visa process as it was. Obviously we need to fix this up so we can get on with our lives and I can hopefully build a life with my fiancé. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Northam Posted October 30, 2016 Share Posted October 30, 2016 Hi Jay90 - As your relationship broke down 18 months ago and neither of you informed DIBP as you were obligated to do, you may have created potential issues for yourself re: claiming you were in a relationship with your new fiance at the same time you had a partner visa application pending with your previous partner. If you are onshore and have held a bridging visa for the last 18 months based on a partner relationship that no longer existed, that could make matters worse. Suggest you get professional assistance via a consultation with an immigration lawyer or migration agent to assess what your options are now and determine best way(s) to proceed.

George Lombard Posted October 31, 2016 Share Posted October 31, 2016 Hi Jay, I'd just second what Mark has told you. Holding a subclass 820 doesn't entirely excuse you from not advising the Department that your relationship has broken down but it's less disastrous than being on a bridging visa and switching partners.
