@mokona14..

Thanks..sana nga mging smooth ang processing ng application nmen..

Nung kinuha ko cya under my 457 visa e as de-facto na..Indi nman cya hiningan ng cenomar..
actually dati din e hinihingi ng agent nmen un certificate n tlgang hiwalay n kme ng ex-wife ko..Pero sabi nga nmen e mahirap mkakuha ng annulment s pinas at wala din divorce..kaya nga kako e de-facto ang inapply nmen..

ayun..naging positive nman..

hi sa mga ka group, mag ask lang ako sa inyo sir, if nagpasa ba kayo ng kopya ng previous nso marriage certificate nyo nung kinuha nyo yung de facto partner nyo kahit di pa kayo legally annulled nagpasa pa rin po ba kayo sa embassy? same problem din kasi sir ako, ako legally married pa kahit 6 years ng hiwalay, kinukuha ako ng partner ko na australian we've been together since 2010 and lived in Australia for total of 1 year nag tourist po kasi ko don and now have applied for a defacto provisional partner visa 309 and yan po yung acknowledgement letter ko eh nagrerequest other than the medical nagrerequest din ng nso birth and if previously married copy of marriage cert with annotation of annulment or divorce which is wala pa nga annulment. Ok lang po ba magpasa ng NSO marriage cert without any annotation for annulment dahil nirerequest nila yung previous marriage cert? thanks po sa pagshare ng ideas.

hello good day po sa lahat. Im the primary applicant , and I have a kid but im not married to my partner. Ok lang ba isama ko sya, he was married pero hiwalay na sya before kami nagkakilala. WIll it be possible for him to be included in my application? de facto ang idedeclare ko we have been living together for more than 2 years already and our baby just turned one year old. Mejo natatakot kasi ako na magproceed if di ko naman sya maisasama

thank you po sa mga sasagot. btw im not claiming any points from him.

@steve211 - sir basahin nyo po ung start ng thread saka ung link na binigay..
based po dun mukhang naging okay naman ang result ng visa nila kahit na hindi pa annulled/divorce ang previous marriage..

mukhang wala pang masyadong naka experience ng case nyo dito sa forum.
kaya wala pong makapagbigay ng concrete answer..

i guess kailangan lang po malinaw ang situation nyo sa case officer..
previously married kayo, pero hindi pa annulled/divorce, kasi nga mahirap talga yan sa pinas..
at kaya nyong patunayan ang current de-facto relationship nyo.. un ang importante..

goodluck po..

based on your statement, im guessing you are applying for a skilled migrant visa.
kung oo, then walang problema kung gusto mo isama ang anak mo (from a previous relationship) at ang current partner nyo..

you can declare your partner as de-facto relationship.. you need to provide some doc/statement to prove your relationship...and of course he has to satisfy other requirements (english, medical, police check).. see this thread.. read from the start..

Hi Guys,

I have a few questions for when your partner will be sponsored by an employer:

1. As a dependent, what kind of visa do you get? Will it be a Temporary Work visa (457), or something else? How would this affect you further down the line if you want to apply for residency? Is there any effect?

2. Would it be better to apply as a Skilled Independent if you have the same job as your partner?

I'm trying to weigh which of the two would be a more flexible or better option for me and my partner in terms of cost, processing time, and possibility of getting approved.

Hope you can help.

Thanks.

1. If you are a dependent, you get the same visa as the person who declares you as his/her dependent. There shouldn't be any effect on your subsequent visa applications provided that you abided by the rules of your 457 visa (e.g. didn't overstay etc).

2. Since 457 is just a temp residency visa, I'd suggest that you apply for a skilled independent visa na lang (and have your partner as your dependent) if you feel that you have enough points to qualify for an invite, para permanent residency na agad. Given how Australia changes its migration policies yearly, if qualified ka na for a PR visa now, go na.

Allysond · January 2014

hi i have a question po, my husband is working in australia under 457 visa, were planning na sumunod na ako sa kanya which his company allows him and will provide letter as a requirement in lodging my subsequent visa. my question is how long bago magrant yung visa ko, mataga kaya? Thanks.

nfronda · January 2014

@Allysond..No, it will only take a month.. Mabilis lg pag ok na lahat ng requirements. Kung minsan medical lg ang ngpapatagal.

Allysond · January 2014

Nfronda thanks sa reply,..who will give referral pala for medical? Nglodge n ko ng visa thru online kaso wait ko n lang yung letter from my husband's employer,..

Plan kasi naman by march 15 flight ko so sana marelase visa before nun,.

nfronda · January 2014

@Allysond..Just wait for your CO, he/she will be the one to give you a referral for medical. As long na complete na lahat ng requirements grant na lg agad yan.

Allysond · January 2014

Thanks ulit,...nasubmit ko n visa application ko then nagenerate ko n din yung referral letter pra sa medical,..tonight i will upload na rin ung mga documents needed,..nareceive ko n din yung letter from my husband's employer kaso mali date of birth ko kaya pinapalitan ko,..

Thanks h,..Godbless

nfronda · January 2014

@Allysond..ayan namn pla ehh..so madali na lg yan..do u have kids ba?..or ikw lg?

Allysond · January 2014

Ako lang, the reason kaya ako pupunta e para mkabuo ng baby:),..pero sana makahanap n din ng work at medyo mahal ang cost of living dun,

nfronda · January 2014

@Allysond, hirap namn kasi malayo sa asawa ehh..so dapt lg talaga na pumunta ka ditto. Yes, mahal ang cost of living. Pero pag dalawa kau ang my wrk at wla pang anak, malaki talga ang ma save mo compare sa Pinas. Sa paghahanap ng work tyaga lg ang kailangan at dapt wag muna maging choosy..

Allysond · January 2014

Yap nakaset na sa mind ko na hindi ako magiging choosy, my plan naman is magsimula sa baba since nasa ibang country ako,..ang usapan kasi ng husband ko if d ako susunod dun e uuwi n siya kaya no choice kundi sumunod dun kasi mas better yung opportunity para s aming dlwa,

Ikaw anong work mo? Sydney k?

nfronda · January 2014

@Allysond..Yeah, that's right much better ang opportunity nyo ditto. At isipin mo maraming kababayan natin ang ngkakandarapa na mkapunta dito, tapos sau sasayangin mo lg ang chance na mkapunta dito sa medaling paraan. Ung iba ilang libo ang ginastos eh pra lg mkapunta dito. So saying talaga pag indi mo e grab.

I'm working in an aviation company at dito ako sa Broome WA.

Allysond · January 2014

Nfronda@ tama k naman dun,..kaya nga ito wala ng atrasan lalo n at mkapagbayad n kame, ang taas n pala ng visa ngaun, imagine i paid 1,035aud,..prang last year 400++ lang,..
