1. Statements from friends (both sides)
2. Statement from her dad (Di kami legal sa side ko)
3. Affidavit of Cohabitation
4. Both names on our lease
5. Tickets for travel and concerts
6. Photos with her family & our friends over the years.
7. Both our names on our pets vet record
8. Joint bank account (Very fresh pa. Wala pang 6 months)
9. Fb messenger convo's, viber messages, & text messages
10. Scanned copy of love letters
11. Hotel bookings
12. Barangay letter stating that we are living together
Ayan pa lang po ang meron kami. Do you think enough na po yan? also, yung sa joint bank account plan namin ipasa ang bank certificate rather than statement. As per BDO di naman daw nakaindicate yung date ng pagopen ng account. Pwede kaya yan ipasa?
I would appreciate your insights. Thank you!

But my problem is nung nilodge nung agent ko yung Student Visa ko, hindi naisama yung partner ko since seaman sya wag ko na daw banggitin kung wala naman akong balak na pasunudin sya sa SV ko.
I feel na ito yung possible na maging problem namin sa pag lolodge ng visa, may nakausap na kong migration lawyer about this willing naman syang tanggapin yung case namin kaya lang yung fees nya is $7050aud. sobrang mahal! May nakaexperience na ba ng ganitong case or anyone na marerecommend nyo na agent? I am willing to engage on migration services pero wag lang sana yung ganung kamahal. thanks!

I get na other countries like yung sa Middle East, di pwede kaya madali i-argue yun, pero pag dito ba sa Philippines, meron bang same experience?
We've been together for 5 years, have heaps of photos, I can show our travels, and bank transfers too (no joint accounts)
@SAP_TRM @bliss @milktea13 @ultimecia25

Just want to ask advice about my dilemma. Stuck up ako sa processing dahil di ko po kasi sure kung anong step ang gagawin. Situation ko po ay, may GF po ako for 3 years. I am the main applicant and I intend to marry her next year pero nalilito po ako kung dapat ko na po ba sya isama sa application ko. I already got invitation (subclass 190) but sa EOI ko e never ko po dineclare na mag sasama ako ng de facto (we recently decided na isama ko na sya). Question ko po is ihabol/maihahabol ko pa po ba sa application ko as de facto / secondary applicant / dependent (not sure if we have strong evidence to suffice) or wait ko nalang po na makapagpakasal kami then partner visa?
Regarding sa evidence we only have travel itineraries, pictures since day 1 of relationship, we dont live together and no joint bank accounts. We have joint business pero yung DTI po kasi ay nakapangalan sa kanya.
Salamat po sa makakatulong sakin. Thanks pinoyAU!

Sa EOI I put myself as “never married” (hindi ko pa gets de facto noon) pero nag yes ako sa do you plan to bring family members in a future application (yes— si BF) then how many (1pax lang).
After being invited at mas naintindihan ko na yung de facto inupdate ko “status” ko upon lodging the 189 as de facto, ininclude ko na details ko sakaniya.
Pero of course madaming supporting documents to prove na matagal na kami and legitimate de facto partnership. Joint bank account, car, affidavit from parents living in their house for more than 1 year already, support statement for aus citizen and PH friends. Travel and social events attended together, apart from de facto statements of each partner.
Kinabahan din ako na “never married” which means “single” nilagay ko sa EOI and not de facto. Pero I think i weweigh pa din nila sa documents mo so we both got our 189 visas naman without a problem. Direct grant.
I know case to case basis pero hindi siya impossible kahit at point of invite ay “never married” nilagay ko. Pero best to update before you get an invite kasi malolock na siya after.
Mas maganda kasing isabay mo na ngayon dahil mas mura ung 189 visa for dependent 50% lang, tapos mas mahal at mas strict din sila sa requirements for partner visa. Parang dapat andoon ka na and kaya mo isupport financially partner mo for I think 2 years. Kaya baka kas matagal na mapasama kayo. Though in the end diskarte niyo yan. Ang advise ko lang and advise samin was try to add your partner now than later on pa. Baka magbago pa policy nila mahirap na. All the best!

eh ung are there any family members the client would like to include in a future application? Yes or no? - Yes sagot ko dito
What if ung partner ko may children? Pero partner ko lang kasama sa application - i included as non-migrating dependent iyong child ng partner ko sa application, kasi financially dependent iyong child sa amin.
And status ko is de facto tama ba? - if hindi kayo married but living together, yes de-facto.
