Summer 213 4 Posted December 27, 2019 Hello, This is my first time posting in the forum and I am sure it will be the first of many. My partner and I are applying for an onshore partner visa, he is English and I am an Australia citizen. I know that there is a long wait for the partner visas to be processed but I just wondered about others experiences with the visa process. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Marisawright 9,492 Posted December 27, 2019 The most important thing is to make sure you understand the criteria AND that you're able to prove you meet all the requirements. Remember that "de facto" means "the equivalent of marriage", so you can't count any period when you were just dating, even if you were in a committed relationship. You'll need some kind of proof of when you became de facto, and evidence of a continuous shared life. Then you just need a lot of patience! 1 Scot by birth, emigrated 1985 | Aussie husband granted UK spouse visa March 2015, moved to UK May 2015 | Returned to Oz June 2016 My new novel, A Dance With Danger, is due out August 2022 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
