virtualmattjones Posted February 18, 2019 Share Posted February 18, 2019 Hi there, My partner (An Australian Citizen) and I have been in a UK Civil Partnership for 3+ years. Is this recongnised by Australia under the 'spouse' category? Any advice / links to the guidance would be great. Thanks [Applying for a 309/101 visa] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marisawright Posted February 18, 2019 Share Posted February 18, 2019 I have no idea whether the Civil Partnership is recognised but it doesn't really matter. It will be useful extra evidence rather than the be-all and end-all. Immigration sees too many people getting married to Australians in order to get a visa, so they don't set great store by the piece of paper - they want to see evidence of a genuine, enduring relationship. That means things like shared finances, shared living arrangements, shared life experience. It's a tedious process but worth it. Good luck.
