dlatmdfuf11 Posted April 24, 2020 Share Posted April 24, 2020 Hello everyone! Me and my partner recently agreed to apply for a partner visa (820) for myself with my partner as the sponsor. We've been living together for a bit over 2 years now. However, it seems like it will be a bit tricky to prove. We met at a student accommodation service where they give students townhouses to live in. after about two months i moved into her room and my room in the separate townhouse was used as a storage room. Of course, this is all off the records as i technically had my room in another house. 8 months later I transferred to my partner's townhouse so we can be living together officially. Again, I technically had my own room in the house which was used as storage area. After living together in the townhouse with 3 other housemates for a year, we moved out and got our own apartment. that was 5 months ago. As a nature of student accommodation, my partner and I couldn't officially live in the same room and we had to pay our own separate accommodation fees. The evidences that we were sharing a life are only witnesses, photos and our testimony. Is this enough to show that we had 'committed to a shared life to the exclusion of all others' for over 12 months? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toots Posted April 24, 2020 Share Posted April 24, 2020 Some of the things required are: cards, letters, emails and social media conversations photos together- showing you and your sponsor together at various occasions evidence that others recognise your relationship evidence you make decisions and plans together evidence you spend leisure time together a joint rental agreement or home loan mail addressed to you together at the same place and time joint bank accounts evidence you own assets together joint credit cards or hire purchase agreements joint utilities accounts, like power or phone bills. Joint lease agreements, joint local authority registration under the same address, mortgage documents, council rate notices, utility bills) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
