    @mokona14..

    Thanks..sana nga mging smooth ang processing ng application nmen..

    Nung kinuha ko cya under my 457 visa e as de-facto na..Indi nman cya hiningan ng cenomar..
    actually dati din e hinihingi ng agent nmen un certificate n tlgang hiwalay n kme ng ex-wife ko..Pero sabi nga nmen e mahirap mkakuha ng annulment s pinas at wala din divorce..kaya nga kako e de-facto ang inapply nmen..

    ayun..naging positive nman..

    hi sa mga ka group, mag ask lang ako sa inyo sir, if nagpasa ba kayo ng kopya ng previous nso marriage certificate nyo nung kinuha nyo yung de facto partner nyo kahit di pa kayo legally annulled nagpasa pa rin po ba kayo sa embassy? same problem din kasi sir ako, ako legally married pa kahit 6 years ng hiwalay, kinukuha ako ng partner ko na australian we've been together since 2010 and lived in Australia for total of 1 year nag tourist po kasi ko don and now have applied for a defacto provisional partner visa 309 and yan po yung acknowledgement letter ko eh nagrerequest other than the medical nagrerequest din ng nso birth and if previously married copy of marriage cert with annotation of annulment or divorce which is wala pa nga annulment. Ok lang po ba magpasa ng NSO marriage cert without any annotation for annulment dahil nirerequest nila yung previous marriage cert? thanks po sa pagshare ng ideas.

    hello good day po sa lahat. Im the primary applicant , and I have a kid but im not married to my partner. Ok lang ba isama ko sya, he was married pero hiwalay na sya before kami nagkakilala. WIll it be possible for him to be included in my application? de facto ang idedeclare ko we have been living together for more than 2 years already and our baby just turned one year old. Mejo natatakot kasi ako na magproceed if di ko naman sya maisasama :( thank you po sa mga sasagot. btw im not claiming any points from him.

    @steve211 - sir basahin nyo po ung start ng thread saka ung link na binigay..
    based po dun mukhang naging okay naman ang result ng visa nila kahit na hindi pa annulled/divorce ang previous marriage..

    mukhang wala pang masyadong naka experience ng case nyo dito sa forum.
    kaya wala pong makapagbigay ng concrete answer..

    i guess kailangan lang po malinaw ang situation nyo sa case officer..
    previously married kayo, pero hindi pa annulled/divorce, kasi nga mahirap talga yan sa pinas..
    at kaya nyong patunayan ang current de-facto relationship nyo.. un ang importante..

    goodluck po..

    based on your statement, im guessing you are applying for a skilled migrant visa.
    kung oo, then walang problema kung gusto mo isama ang anak mo (from a previous relationship) at ang current partner nyo..

    you can declare your partner as de-facto relationship.. you need to provide some doc/statement to prove your relationship...and of course he has to satisfy other requirements (english, medical, police check).. see this thread.. read from the start..

    Hi Guys,

    I have a few questions for when your partner will be sponsored by an employer:

    1. As a dependent, what kind of visa do you get? Will it be a Temporary Work visa (457), or something else? How would this affect you further down the line if you want to apply for residency? Is there any effect?

    2. Would it be better to apply as a Skilled Independent if you have the same job as your partner?

    I'm trying to weigh which of the two would be a more flexible or better option for me and my partner in terms of cost, processing time, and possibility of getting approved.

    Hope you can help.

    Thanks.

    1. If you are a dependent, you get the same visa as the person who declares you as his/her dependent. There shouldn't be any effect on your subsequent visa applications provided that you abided by the rules of your 457 visa (e.g. didn't overstay etc).

    2. Since 457 is just a temp residency visa, I'd suggest that you apply for a skilled independent visa na lang (and have your partner as your dependent) if you feel that you have enough points to qualify for an invite, para permanent residency na agad. Given how Australia changes its migration policies yearly, if qualified ka na for a PR visa now, go na.

At isipin mo maraming kababayan natin ang ngkakandarapa na mkapunta dito, tapos sau sasayangin mo lg ang chance na mkapunta dito sa medaling paraan. Ung iba ilang libo ang ginastos eh pra lg mkapunta dito. So saying talaga pag indi mo e grab.
