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..

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..

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.

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.
