I have lodge a student visa subclass 573 then included my de facto partner. But because of that we were both interviewed by the embassy and after 3 months of waiting we got denied but it was due to GTE reasons (sabi daw nung CO konti lng daw nalalaman ko about my uni and australia but the de facto was okay sana).
So I lodged again this time student visa subclass 500 na. The agent suggested huwag na isama yung partner ko so ma assured muna ako ng visa then I can include him after I got my own visa. So I just included him under non-flying family member. After 4weeks I got my visa!
I am already here in Melbourne Australia (Feb Intake) and now I want him to go here with me as previously planned. Kaso I am not sure if I want to engage with the same agency since ang mahal ng singil nila.
I already have my defacto evidences like:
2 Joint Bank Accounts (2 years)
Joint Gym membership
Local Authority registration under the same address(cedula, brgy clearance, nbi, police checks)
Rental Agreement
Travel tickets
Letters from each other
Photos
Stat dec from family and friends
Proof of communication with each other (VIBER, imessage, skype)
GTE statement nung partner ko (why he wants to join me in OZ)
I was thinking if I need to look for another agency or mag DIY nalang? What other evidences I might be lacking na makakatulong.

To support their source of income, I have attached the following:
Evidence of Relationship ko sa Parents: Birth Certificate ko, IDs nila and Affidavits mentioned above.
I paid 692AUD for the visa fees
5900AUD for one year skul ng son ko
4550AUD for BUPA Family coverage
I will keep you posted sa updates ng application. So far, madaling-araw ko na natapos i-post lahat ng documents needed.
Goodluck sa atin!

open a joint account, change your billing statements to reflect same address ninyo. yung address naman ung may driver's license kayo, pwedeng parahong address ilagay. As newly weds, matagal makuha ang NSO marriage cert. pero pwedeng trabahuhin yan, dumiretcho ka sa Main office ng NSO para marelease yung in one month. Attached as well photos lalo na kung may date stamp.

YES. Naku,sana hindi muna mag resign. Alam mo yung GTE right? kase dapat temporary entrant ang students magstay sa australia. kaya nga may statement of purpose para dun nila i-check kong may sense mga documents na sinubmit at claims na temporary lang mga dependants na isasama mo. So paghinigngan cia nag cert.of employee and leave of absence approval, wala ciang ma-ibibigay nyan, at yan ang ties nia sa Pinas na babalik nga dun.Bawal na bawal sabihin na staying for good tayo dito. palaging visit, tour lang ang get to know the australian culture chuva.
kung sasabihin niang business owner, need to submit lahat ng business docs, but I think 1.5M is really small. kase dapat ang computation dun for estimate ng 'funds' yung cost of living multiply by the year intended to stay sa Pinas.
well, you can always pay an Agent to help his application. pero bayad ka ng mhga 10,000pf for the fees. Please find accredited MARA agent for him. I use AECC Global Makati and has Amber Carreon as my agent.

I asked po kc sa mga taong may same experience as me, okay lang naman daw po mg resign yung main sponsor ko kc may showmoney and yung sa business naman po. Then yung properties namin sa pinas pinakita dn namin sa embassy. Plus sahod ko pa here in aus. Pero I dont know kc iba nnaman opinion mo po huhuhu kinda confusing na may pinoy agent na may office siya sa melbourne, makati and iloilo, i told her about this and all. Sabi niya okay naman po yung situation namin, pero yun nga lang, yung consul parin may final say..

- Why they want to join you in Australia?
- What are their planned activities during their stay?
- What they plan to do after your studies in Australia?
EH sino ang sponsor nia? kase under student visa application kahit dependants mo dapat may proof of funds. nasa 70,000AUD.
