De Facto Partner on a 457 VISA

Hi,
I would like to seek advice regarding the process and requirements for a de facto partner visa.
My boyfriend is a Chef who's getting sponsored on a 457 visa and we would like to move to Australia together. We've been living together for 10 months already. We plan to lodge our application in July so that we would complete the one year relationship rule.
So far, these are the documents that I'm preparing..
1. notarised statements from applicant (me) + sponsor (partner)
2. notarised statements from family members and friends
3. affidavit from our landlord that we have been living together
4. billing statement for water and electricity under both of our names
5. notarised lease contract including both our names
6. bank statement of joint account ( although we only opened this last april)
7. bank certificate of joint account
8. travel itineraries and online tickets for our travels together
9. pictures together and with friends/family
What else should I include to make our application strong? Also, I have a few more questions regarding this topic like..
what is the usual processing time for a de facto visa? Do I need to provide an overseas health insurance before I apply?
Thank you so much!!!

Does ur bf 457 visa already granted?? What is his relationship status when he applied his 457 visa? If he declared that he is in a de facto relationship you should be included staight away on his visa as dependent. If it's not, ask his employer to include you as his dependent in the sponsorship and apply as dependent 457 visa, much easier compare to applying a de facto visa.
