Q1. What constitutes a de facto relationship for visa purposes?
A de facto relationship is defined as a genuine and committed relationship where partners live together or apart on a genuine domestic basis. This includes same-sex couples. Factors such as financial interdependence, shared household responsibilities, and social recognition of the relationship are considered.
Q2. What documents are required to prove a de facto relationship?
Documentation typically includes proof of shared financial commitments (e.g., joint bank accounts, shared bills), evidence of cohabitation (e.g., lease agreements, utility bills), and statements from friends and family supporting the relationship's genuineness. Additional evidence may include joint travel itineraries, correspondence, and photos together.
Q3.Can I include my dependent children in my partner visa application?
Yes, you can include dependent children in your partner visa application. However, they must meet certain eligibility criteria, including being unmarried and financially dependent on you. You'll need to provide evidence of their relationship to you and ensure they meet health and character requirements.
Q4. How long does it take to process a partner visa application?
Processing times for partner visas can vary depending on various factors such as the completeness of your application, the visa subclass applied for, and the current processing queue. Generally, processing times range from several months to over a year. It's essential to lodge a complete and accurate application to avoid delays.
