Help! nun nag log kase ako ng visa application first was ako lang..pero when I read sa mga iba't ibang forums esp dito, nag decide ako na isabay na sa application yun partner ko (e.g. mas madali and mura that way, in the long run). kaya lang may part dun na question kung may non-migrating dependents. nilagay ko wala kase I was just thinking about me. ang prob yun partner ko kase may 2 kids, not living with us nandun sa mga lola nila. Now may CO na kami I don't knw what to do kung pede pa ba sabihin ko sa CO I need to update an item sa application ko, or hindi na pede since may CO na? If ever hindi na pede palitan, pede ba yun maging grounds na hindi approve visa namin?

hi, hope someone can help me with my scenario: i lodged my application as a single independent skilled 189. But when i filled in form 80 i listed my same sex defacto as non migrating dependent. My CO asked me to provide them with my defacto's police clearance and medical check. I'm confused why they asked for this eventhough we dont have plan of migrating together soon. Our plan was to get him with a partner's visa once i get fully settled there. My questions are:

will my partner be getting his visa too when i get a grant?
why is my CO asking this?
what if my defacto has a health issue that we do not know as of the moment, will it have a negative impact with my application?
should i just delete him and just submit form 1022 to take him out of my application for easy evaluation of my application?

Thanks...

@LittleFinger, just my general thoughts on this... I believe your CO is evaluating ahead your partner circumstances, in case in the future you will petition for him as a de facto dependent... although, at this point he is not yet included in your visa application, whatever your partner circumstances are, I believe, should not impact the outcome of your own visa application...

but if I were in your case, I would respectfully ask your CO those above questions you've just mentioned, so as to accurately respond to his requirements kamo... 🙂

@wizardofOz thanks!

Just to update..approved na visa namin. Some notes that might help yun same situation smen. medyo mahaba, pero I hope makatulong sa kahit isa lang hehehe

Initially, mag isa lang ako sa application then plan namin sunod sya pag nakahanap ako work, buti nabasa ko and inadvice din dito sa PinoyAU na mas mahal and matagal pag partners visa kaya nag update ako application sinama ko na sya kaya medyo nagtagal un approval kase we needed to update all the docs na ndi ko pa na prepare earlier kase mag isa lang yun plan ko dati..medyo mas marami docs needed pag may kasama sa application, pero worth it naman, 1 month delayed lang hehehe
Undergrad yun partner ko pero tinanggap naman ng CO yun diploma and cert of english as medium of instruction from both grade and high schools nya, sinama na din namin TOR and cert din from the University 3rd year sya nag stop nun college. No need for IELTS, nagbigay na lang kami cake dun sa high school nya kase medyo busy sa upcoming graduation that time kase yun office hehe para mapabilis.
Wala kami joint account, sa bahay kami ng parents ko nakatira kaya medyo nag worry ako paano ma prove yun financial aspect. What I did eh sa bank statement ng account ko ni lagyan ko lahat ng notes san ginamit tapos nagsama ako ng mga receipts to prove. nagsama ako even ng resibo from our date, itinerary ng local travel, pati resibo ng shopping (clothes and grocery). Mas maganda na gamitin yun EPS (BPI kase ako) para naka reflect din yun account number sa resibo, tapos sa BPI online nandun naman yun last 60 days transactions so make sure na mag download ng copy kase last 60 days lang ang available (para ndi ka na kailangan mag request sa bank pa if ever need mo older than 60 days in time sa application).
Statement from my mom na dito kami nakatira and ano yun mga share namin sa bahay (phone bill, dsl, how much sa food, and nagbigay kami amount in peso na binibigay ko twice a month) na naka reflect dun sa bank statement..withdrawal ng ganun amount twice a month. and statements from her mom and 1 of our friends for the social aspect, kasama pictures ng travels, dinners with friends, kahit date namin 2 lang.
May anak yun partner ko, though ndi namin kasama sa house and sa application. They will require them to undergo medical din, pero since bata, physical exam lang ang ni require. They required initially passport para sa medical, eh wala passport yun bata kaya I asked if pede iba since ang available lang now is school ID and birth cert (nabasa ko kase sa slec site na pede birth cert), ayun binigyan kami HAP ID using birth cert, no need to apply for passport.
sobrang helpful ng site na ito sa all steps na ginawa lalo na wala naman kami agent. mula sa pag decide ko mag try to Oz (dito ko una nakuha yun idea, I forgot though paano ko nalaman yun site na ito hehehe). ACS, IELTS, EOI, and Visa. Tuloy pa din sa pagtulong itong site for the next steps na medyo marami pa din hehehe.

Salamat!

@fyi_12 congrats! I'm happy for you. Actually I followed some of your thread, buti naka lagpas na kayo 🙂

may question lang ako, dun ba sa mga receipts and bank statement nyo, current lang ba? or meron ding mga past. mahirap kasi irecover ung mga past receipts and statement. like yung sa amin since 2010 pa kmi and most of the receipts from that time are gone..

nag agent pa ba kayo?

thanks! and all the best to you!

hindi naman current lang..oldest na yun Dec 2014 mahirap din magtabi eh kase thermal paper nabubura yun data hehehe. @bernaabad

Hello. Dito kami ng partner ko sa SG and nagpaprocess na kami ng application visa 190 and ako yung main applicant. Naka-agency kami pero sa ngayon kakasubmit palang ng docs ko for skills assessment. Pinagpeprepare palang kami ng mga letters na may address to prove na isang bubong lang kami nakatira, bukod dun wala pang sinasabi sa amin. Sana meron ditong pwede ko maka exchange ng tips and requirements 🙂 Goodluck sa atin lahat 😃

bernaabad

Hi everyone. Newbie here. Thanks for this thread. Sobrang nakakagana. My partner kasi has applied to the US as physical therapist. Okay naman pero being clingy to each other eh parang natatagalan kami na kailangan mag citizen muna sya dun before nya ako ma petition as fiancee. Di rin kami pwede Canada kasi yung experience nya volunteer work, kailangan dun paid work experience. Ganito kasi sa Pilipinas bihira ka maging hospital staff. Pwede ba sa Australia ang volunteer work experience? Babaw lang we just want to be together, 13.5 years na kami. Living together for almost four years. Single kami pareho. Thanks.

@rohani99 hindi pa kami actually nagpaprocess pero we are looking at Brisbane. kaso mukhang New South Wales ung open sa nominated occupation ko... 🙂

bernaabad

@PTwife hi, welcome! to answer your question, ang alam ko kasi dapat paid work experience ang needed kaya nirerequire minsan ung payslip or ITR as proof. although, maybe some of the guys here can clarify that expecially for Physical Therapist case..

by the way, bakit di nalang ikaw ang magtry mag apply? if your job is still included in list then i don't think there will be any problem if ikaw ang maging primary applicant. dapat lang malagpasan mo ung IELTS 🙂 hehe

PTwife

Hi, @bernaabad, thank you for replying. I can't apply because though I have more years in work experience than her, sadly, my job is not included in the list. Siguro, go na lang kami sa US, and if we can't wait for five or six years to be together, maybe we can move to Oz after 3 years in the United States? Or yung iba ko naman nurse friends parang may bridging something na ginawa. I will check more on that. So there. Anyway, hindi rin kasi namin masyado gusto sa U.S. it's too far and hindi as solid as Aus and Canada ang gay rights. Thanks.

bernaabad

@PTwife ahh uu may bridging program nga akong naririnig. I think parang magaaral ulit? pero at the same time pwede mag work. may separate forum un dito, maybe you can check it out 🙂

mahirap talaga mag kalayo at nakaka inspire ung stories ng couples who made it even if long distance. maybe search ka ng ibang option na pwede. there's always opportunity 🙂

all the best to you!

Wow!! welcome everybody...

Dati pa po akong member dito and now I am in Sydney na, halos one year na...

Walang ganitong thread before about De FActo visa (or so I thought) so I came here alone without my partner (ignorant kse)...pero wala pang one year and nung nakapag-odd job ako, lahat ng ipon ko I spent to get my partner sa Pinas...we have lodged everything na via an agent and now, after almost 7 months, still waiting for her VISA grant.

I am so happy at marami na tayong mga in-a-same-sex-relationship aspiring for the Australian dream...

EB tayo soon kung marami rami na tayo here... 🙂

@staycool

Would you mind sharing your agent/agency assisting you in your application? Feeling ko mauubos din ipon namin sa gastos. Hehehe. Thanks

I just want to thank everyone in this thread. This helped a lot in our application. Hope this will continue to give valuable information and help those dreaming of migrating to OZ.

God bless us all! 🙂
