Partner visa or Prospective marriage visa?

poinsettia9 · December 2013

Nalilito ako sa dapat kong gawin. I'm in a relationship for 4 years. Nasa Au ako nasa Ph sya. Ngayon nalilito ako sa dapat kong gawin para kunin siya. Should I pursue Prospective marriage visa muna or Partner visa agad.

Plan A: Uuwi ako sa Pinas so we can get married at makuha ko na sya.

Plan B: I'll stay in Au at ia-apply sya ng Fiancee visa.

-------------------
I know mas practical yung Plan A kaso parang ayaw ko ng ganun na uuwi ako para magpakasal na agad sa kanya. Sure naman ako na siya na talaga kaso diba, parang LDR kami then kasal agad.

Yung Plan B naman mas gusto ko talaga kasi atleast we have 9 months na magsasama together before the marriage. Saka atleast mas mafi-feel namin yung excitement na nagkasama kami together then at the end magpapakasal na. Hindi yung tipong uwi... tapos konting bonding lang then kasal agad then uwi na naman ako sa Au.

Kaso tiningnan ko yung application form nalulula ako sa mga docs na kelangan. Like:

- evidence that you have met face to face
- written statement ng history of relationship
- intend to marry evidence

samantalang pag partner visa e certified copy lang ng marriage license

-----------------------------------

May nag visa 300 na ba dito? Baka naman matulungan nyo kong mapadali yung preparation.

Hay....

PS just to clarify. Nagkasama kami ng 2 years bago ako umalis ng Phil. and stayed in Aus for 2 years din. Baka lang isipin nyong first time naming magkikita

@poinsettia9 sir, I'm also following (any) answers to your post because right now, I'm still thinking about which way to go. My fiance is in UAE and ako, then waiting for CO now. I'm setting my mind to be their ASAP once Visa grant na (hopefully by May), then be back here for our wedding by Dec 2014... but I am not sure, if I should wait till we wedding namin sa December to apply her for partner Visa or should we start her fiance visa application once I'm in AU na Visa 300...? hopefully someone who had experience can advice...

Hi, ako kaya ko sagutin yan

In my opinion mas mabuti na yung Partner Visa kaysa sa Fiance visa.

1. "Fiance Visa" http://www.immi.gov.au/Visas/Pages/300.aspx
Kapag Fiance visa kailangan mo ng documents patunay na may relationship kayo at plano nyo na magpakasal. Ang processing times ng fiance visa ay aabot ng 12 months. Philippines is in High risk category. Kapag na approved ang fiance visa kailangan magpakasal kayo before mag 9 months. After kayo magpakasal mag apply nman sya ng Partner visa (Provisional)

Visa fees: $3085

Fiance visa allows you to:
Enter Australia before you marry your prospective spouse
Travel in and out of Australia as often as you want
Work in Australia, although some employers might not hire people with temporary visas
Study in Australia, but with no access to government funding for tertiary study.

2. "Partner Visa" http://www.immi.gov.au/Visas/Pages/309-100.aspx
Partner Visa (Provisional) bago lang ito malamang 3 years ago lang bago i implement itong visa na ito. Kasi madami pasaway at hindi legit after makakuha noon ng Partner Permanent resident visa nag divorce na yung iba naabuso masyado ang visa na ito. Kaya ang ginawa ng Australia Government. ay nagkaroon ng Partner temporary visa o tinatawag ma provisional visa 2 years ito na visa after that puede ng mag apply ng Partner PR Visa. 12 months din ang processing. Hindi lang Marriage contract madami din na documents na kailangan.

Visa fees: $3085

The Partner (Provisional) visa (subclass 309) lets you:
Enter Australia and stay here until a decision is made about your permanent Partner visa
work in Australia
Study in Australia, but with no access to government funding
Enrol in Medicare, Australia's scheme for health-related care and expenses.

In my opinion mas makaka-save kayo sa oras, panahon at pangastos kapag Partner provisionary visa (subclass 309, 820) ang kukunin nyo agad. Kailangan magpakasal kayo sa Pinas. Obligasyon ng Australia Government na magkasama kayo ng pamilya. Kapag Fiance puede pa ma deny kapag kulang ang evidence at isa pa parehas din lang naman ang proseso mga 12 months processing. Ang kagandahan ng Partner (Provisional) visa ay eligible to have Medicare while kapag fiance hindi puede kumuha ng medicare o libreng pagpapagamot.

Visa charges link: http://www.immi.gov.au/fees-charges/visa-pricing-table.htm

After 2 years staka pa lang puede mag apply ng Partner PR visa cost $3085.

God bless.

Nga pala mahirap din pala kumuha ng schedule sa Church para ikasal. Kung talagang nagmamadali kayo at mayrun kayong budget mas mabuti na rin ang Fiance visa. Magpapakasal kayo dito. Goodluck. cheers

Wow may nag-reply sa wakas!

Ayun nga, most likely pipiliin ko na nga din yung partner visa. Uuwi ako maybe this May para magpa-civil wedding. Pero 2 weeks lang ako sa Pinas since kelangan kong mag work para pang ipon ng visa niya.

Thank you sa nga pala sa mga replies

Good decision, mas makakasave kayo ng panahon at pangastos kung Partner Visa. Advise ko ipunin nyo lahat ng mga documents simula pa lang ng nagliligawan kayo. Like Picture both of you maganda may date. sulat, email, telephone or mobile bills kasi nakalagay dun ang phone number ninyo. Valentine, annnivesary or Christmas card at iba pang documents na patunay na continue ang relatiobnship ninyo at munication ninyo baka kasi kailangan eh. cheers

ito ang inyong tagapayo sa pagibig,

Kuya Totoy
