<blockquote rel="blanca08">@danyan2001us but based po sa list of sponsor sa website nila: applicant's partner is pwede. And hnd naman specific kung spouse or defacto. Partner Lang ang nakalagay kaya ako nacoconfuse. Do you have any agency na pwedeng irecommend? If so how much do they normally quote. Thanks po</blockquote>
sis check mo itong news item from Immigration News issued last year:
The Assessment Level (AL) of the student determines how much funds need to be shown, who can provide these funds and how long these funds must be held. In order for the funds to be admissible they need to be held by an acceptable individual one who qualifies as someone whose income can provide for the visa applicant's education and living expenses.
An acceptable individual; can be one or more of the following:
(a) the applicant;
(b) the applicant's spouse or de-facto partner;
(c) a parent of the applicant;
(d) a grandparent of the applicant;
(e) a brother or sister of the applicant;
(f) an uncle or aunt of the applicant who is:
(i) an Australian citizen, an Australian permanent resident or an eligible New Zealand citizen; and
(ii) usually resident in Australia.

if tingnan mo yan, ang nakalagay dyan ay de-facto partner.....so if nagsasama na kau ng bf mo then yes ang sagot sa tanong mo but if magbf kayo but you are not living in one roof, then he is not qualify to be your sponsor. And yes you are right, better consult a migration agent on this matter for he can explain to you further if ok ba or hindi ang bf mo magiging sponsor mo. Good luck and keep us updated.
