Sa case ko po kasi, nakapag present ako ng isang document (hindi pa po ito yung de facto proof namin) na naging basis for our de facto claims, Proof of Address for 5years. Billing statements ng partner ko at billing statement ko. Every Quarter for 5 years. Then after that, walang nang ibang hiningi si CO as in no other documents, wala ng picture, wala ng testimony, though naka prepare na po sya, naka abang lang in case hingin.
So applicable pa din po yung kasabihan na "kung ano hingin, yun lang ang ibigay" ;-)

She's already there in Melbourne under student visa which is about to expire by November 2013. I have my own application (190) kaso nga lang sa WA available ung work ko. hindi namin tuloy alam kung magtatake risk kami na isama sya as de facto under my application. Naging kami officially June 2010 kaso un nga lang - long distance relationship. Once a year lang nakakapagkita. We have pictures together, with our families. Nagkapagbakasyon sa Bali na kami lang. We have our skype dates, ym. facebook. Pero hindi ko alam kung sapat na ba to para mgrant din kmi under de facto relationship.
or get her own work visa first in Melbourne since in demand naman ang work nya dun as nurse. un nga lang magkalayo na naman kami.. I'm currently here in middle east..
Another option is mag-stay muna ko sa Melbourne with her.. kaso pano naman ung WA PR ko.. it will affect the Citizenship nomination also in the future. I need to stay and work in WA for at least 2 years.. LDR na nga kami ngaun.. Pati ba naman pagdating sa AU LDR pa rin? hayyyy
Please enlighten me with your advice mga sir at madam....

Magkakaproblema ba kami ng de facto partner ko if hindi sabay ang initial entry namin to Aus? We initially planned on going together but he cannot leave right away due to his work. Okay lang ba na huli na sya pumunta? Thanks!

@nfronda, thanks for your reply.. Clarify ko lang.. So I need to settle that wedding before the decision has been made on my Visa 190 application right? Magiging dependent ko sya as de facto sa application then wedding before my visa granted.
ibang case naman ung "Prospective Marriage Visa (Subclass 300)" na may 9 months pa ko to get married with her.. I think hindi na to pwede mainclude sa visa application ko.... after na yata mgrant ang visa ko and separate application na.
Oh my gulay.. kasalan galore pala talaga ang kailangan! dapat pala nung umuwi kmi last April nagpakasal na kmi.. hindi pa kasi ready particularly sa side nya eh.. haiz
anyway salamat po ulit @nfronda...

before we lodge our application ay engaged ang status namin. then nung nagka CO kami hiningan din kami ng de facto requirements. so what i submitted was pictures with caption with our family and friends, airline tickets ng vacation namin, online conversation namin at saka invitation sa wedding namin. ayun inapprove naman ung application namin. you might want to consider then na magpakasal na before going to oz. hope makatulong sa case mo..

1. Notarized statements from principal applicant and de facto partner (story of progress of relationship)
2. Notarized affidavits from third parties (friends, family members, other relatives) signifying authenticity of relationship
3. Evidences for Financial Aspect of relationship such as evidences of joint assets (Deed of Sale and OR-CR of car under both our names, bank certs for joint accounts), payment confirmations for joint purchases using my credit card (including joint flights, hotel accommodations, etc.)
4. Evidences for Social Aspect of relationship such as photos with friends and relatives during gatherings, invitations to weddings and other social events addressed to the both of us
5. Evidences for Household/Living Arrangements of partners such as notarized statement from my landlord that my de facto partner was not living with me but consistently visited me for extended periods, phone bills, statement from telecom service provider that I have two accounts and one is assigned to my partner, flight itineraries for when my partner and I traveled to and from Manila to visit each other
I also made sure to make a "cover statement" for items 3 to 5, which included a short narrative and a list of the attachments para hindi malito ang CO sa dami ng docs and photos. I think what's most important is that you're able to prove that the relationship is really genuine and that evidences are authentic. It was a huge challenge for us kasi we have not been living together, but bumawi na lang kami sa ibang aspects. It was tempting to claim that we have been living together but we opted to be honest. We did, however, emphasize that my partner visited me and stayed with me for extended periods (weeks or months at a time) all throughout the duration of our relationship.
Hope this helps. I have to say, providing proof of our de facto relationship was what made the application extra challenging. Thankfully, we got the visa grant naman. If you don't want to risk it, you can always go for the marriage option. Good luck sa inyo!

may enough time pa naman before we decide kung iinclude ko nga sya sa application. medyo risky lang kasi mageexpire na student visa nya sa November. One more option is kumuha nalng din sya ng sariling PR visa. Iwas hassle na rin sa part nya.. Again, thank you po!

Just want to get ur opinion and advice po from those who went thru similar circumstance.
Me and my Defacto partner kasi is contemplating na isama ko nalang sya sa application ko. Initially nuong nag lodge ako nung 17 Oct, Diniclare ko yung defactor partner ko pero I answered "No" dun sa question na e include sya dun sa migration ko. Kasi balak sana namin na susunod nalang siya after I get settled first in oz kung sakali.
Now, since nagpakilala na yung CO ko yesterday, hiningan nya ako nang Birth Cert at Passport copy nung partner ko at sabay tanong kung magmigrate ba sya kasama ko. Kaya medyo nag think twice ako and considered the possiblity na e include nalang sya. Altho, preparing and collating the docs to support our relationships is another issue since originally nga the plan is susunod sya.
Need advise po if it is a good idea to include her nalang ngayon considering our circumtances below.
1> Our relationships is going 3 yrs this coming Jan 2014.
2>My partner works in Japan while I am in SG, so basically, LDR yung relationship namin. Everyday po kami nag uusap either sa Viber or Skype. At lagi din kaming either sabay umuuwi nang pinas, or papasyal sya dito sa SG or ako naman sa Japan. We do have Joint Bank Accts and Joint Equity funds.
3>Yung mga Proofs po to justify na our relationships is Genuine and Continuing po, I am confident na makaka comply kami. Pero I am concerned dun sa "living together" dahil nga considering nasa Japan sya while dito naman ako sa SG.
Need ur thoughts po.

So if I were u, tell ur CO the truth that u are not in a de-facto relationship but you have a partner but then ur living seperately. Explain to ur CO na lg na nagkamali ka sa pagkakaintindi ng de-facto.
I myself muntikan ding magkamali jan. I also put that I have de-facto coz I have a boyfriend. But then my HR told me that better to put single coz we never live together. Kaya ayun single ang status ko nung nag apply ako.
Hope this help..
