Mag tatanong lang po sana.
I have a de facto partner ( same sex ) and last year na Grant visa nya.
Visa skilled independent ( 189 ).Hindi po ako naisama sa application nya due to some personal reasons. Now, we are planning na susunod ako sa kanya.
Gusto ko po itanong, kung ano type ng visa e apply namin?
If may link po kayo, paki share naman po. Thank you..
