Defacto (same sex) dilemma

markier87 · June 2014

@lester_lugtu Thanks for the advise bro! I guess gagawin ko yung receipt kasi small time leasing lang. I hope enough ang magiging evidence namin.

staycool · June 2014

@lester_lugtu thanks sa inputs... actually ang ikinatatakot ko lang naman is yung pagclaim ko ng SINGLE status before sa PR visa ko eh...pero kung pwde ko naman iexplain sa CO (wish ko lang hindi STRICT ang CO namin)...

may follow up questions ako:
1. paano nyo nasimulan lahat lahat?...documents muna lahat then payment na?
2. about sa mga documents, mga ilang pages po ba dapat?...sa mga bills and statement of accounts, ilang pages or ilang months, or ilang years dapat?...original AND CERT TRUE COPIES ba ang need?
3. Ang sa pictures, ilan po kelangan?...like 3 yrs kme together and puro pinas travel lang kme...
4. lahat ba to compiled with pages and summary/index?...then ito ang submittee proof?

Thanks talaga...napag usapan (and honestly napag awayan) na namin kagabi na hndi na kme mag -a-agent ni misis...and lahat lahat biglang kapa sa dilim...i will need your advise DESPERATELY...heheh

about naman sa job hunting, kuha ka ng certifications (mura naman ang ibang online cert.) habang wala pang job...makakadagdag din to sa mga qualifications mo...make sure lagay mo mga cert. mo sa resume mo when applying... like RSA cert. no. etc...and tawagan mo ang agent/job na inapplyan mo tomake them know you ARE intereseted to work asap. okies?

@staycool,

Thanks sa advise mo s pghhnap ng work.

About ur question.
On no.1, kapag nag-upload kna ng mga documents mo online, kasunod na bayad dun. Do not worry kung may kulang ka sa requirement, co will email u kung anu pa ang need mo isatisfy n mga requirement. Then upload lng ulit ung kung nagather mo n ung kulang. Anyway, once mag-upload kna ng mga documents mo makikita mo naman dun kung ano pa ang ang pede mo iupload. Lahat ay self explanatory lng kayag kaya ng utak natin at hindi na need ng agent.

On no.2, since upload lang ang lahat ng documents, hnd n need iupload and originals. Ipaphotocopy mo, then pacertify true copy mo sa atty then ang iaupload mo eh ung mga certified copy. Lahat ng documents dapat certified true copy. In terms of common bills, rental receipt lng ang naipakita namin. And okay na un sa c.o ko since wla nmn sya angal. Jijiji. I uploaded at least 6 months rental receipt, dpat indicated both name nyo. Then ulit, photocopy, ctc, and upload the ctc.

On no. 3, kht ganu karami. Basta lahat ng pics n isusubmit mo eh under 1 doc.file lng. Lagyan mo din ng mga sweetness caption. Jijiji. Like, "this picture was taken when she first gave me a tagos-sa-pusong kiss!" Jijiji, sample lng yan. Cgro give at least 10 pics all with captions. Maglagay ka din ng pics na from skype at kunwari kasma nyo sa pic na un ung mga friends nyo who know ur rel. It does not matter kung may travel kau o wala. Pics are enough proof. Wala aq sinend n kht ano tungkol sa travel namin kc wla nmn kmi nun. Jijiji.

On no.4, hnd ko maintindihan ang tanong mo. Jijiji. Honestly.
Feeling ko eto ung sagot, pero evidence lagyan nyo ng title.
For example, under evidence of financial chinay...
Parang gumagawa lng kau ng high school proj n ung 1st page eh ung title.
Basta per evidence eh isang doc.file/pdf.file. at kasama ung title sa doc o pdf n un.
Gaya ng sb ko once naguupload kna ng file, mkkt mo dun ung ibatbang klaseng evidence, at kung san under na evidence ung iuupload mo.

At gya ulit ng sb ko, kung hnd ka confident sa status n single n nilagay mo. Still giv it a try. Kc ung totoo, ung mga agent n yan ngbbsa lng din sa internet yan. Akala nila hindi ntn kaya intindihin. At ung totoo, pgkakakitaan lng nila tau. Sa tingin ko, ung case officer na maaallocate sau, sya ung pwede mong tanungin jan. Anyway, sya p din nmn mgdedecide db. Pro feeling ko hnd nmn cla gnun kahigpit.

@lester_lugtu ... so online pati ang sa de facto partner visa application?...eh ano ang nabasak kong submit all docs daw sa nearest Oz missionary office sa lugar nyo sa pinas...

maraming salamat sa walang humpay na pagtulong...and congrats sa new job...

lester_lugtu · June 2014

@staycool,

everything is online. wala nakong pinuntahang Oz missionary office!!!
kasi ang application ng visa, ng any kinds of visa eh either online o ung traditional na u need to go sa australian embassy. same lang naman sila, mas mabilis lang online. the process of applying online including sending requirements, sending additional requirements, follow ups and correspondence with case officers will be done electronically.

staycool · June 2014

kung ganun, sandamukal na documents inupload nyo?? hahah...dapat may SPEEDY internet access for that one... tsk, tsk...

seestra · June 2014

hello po!
may standard form ba or format yung statutory declaration para sa de facto relationship (same sex) sa visa 189?

markier87 · June 2014

@seestra yes, there is a format given by the DIBP. I guess you guys are already in Oz? The form is available for download at their website.

seestra · June 2014

@markier87 thanks for the reply.
wala pa kami sa oz.. we're still getting all the info we need pra sa application. d na kmi kukuha ng agent pra tipid. yun ba yung form 888 stat declaraion?
thanks!

quackquack · June 2014

Hello!!! my partner and I are coming from SG, we'll be in melbourne by the 1st week of July. Gaya nyo, de facto same sex din kme! We followed everything in the list that @happyinmelbourne34 shared. Pati phone bills ko showing the number of calls made in a day sa pinas when she was there pa, screen shots ng chat messages sa Skype and yahoo. Travels together, plane tix and photos with our families. Need lahat ng small details para maprove ung relationship.

Goodluck @niquikay! sana maging ok ung application nyo!

markier87 · June 2014

Oh I see. As far as I understand it, the stat.dec is for people already in Oz. Otherwise, affidavit or sworn statement is more recognized. Just my two cents.

markier87 · June 2014

@quackquack thanks for sharing your success story here. What kind of visa do u have pala?

To the rest po, sino ang nka student visa din?

quackquack · June 2014

Hi @markier87! partner applied for 190 and added me as her secondary applicant!

markier87 · June 2014

@quackquack oh I see. Congrats on your visa approval pala

seestra · June 2014

@markier87 thanks!
@quackquack congrats!! Tanong ko lang kung sa SG kayo nagpanotaryo ng afidavit nyo or sa Pinas? If sa SG, saan dito and how much? SG din kc kmi ng partner ko. Thanks!

quackquack · June 2014

Hello @seestra! Dito kme sa sg nagpanotaryo; Maria Tham and Co sa fareast shopping center sa Orchard po. $40 per affidavit.
Goodluck po!

seestra · June 2014

@quackquack thank u!!

jenipet20 · June 2014

Hi po! Kailngan po ba may magwitness dun s statement n ggwin? And also dun s statemfriends/relatives?

markier87 · June 2014

@jenipet20 I believe so yes. It's required that it should be a legal document. Have all statements notarized.

staycool · June 2014

wow, dumadami na tayo dito sa de facto same sex partnership...it's so nice to know di kmenag iisa...

btw, kumuha na lang din ako ng agent because medyo complicated ang sa amin ni gf ko...and hopefully all can be lodged before the end of july...

peeps, let's allbe friends kse pare parehas tayo dito...iisang pakikibaka...hehehe

lester_lugtu · June 2014

@jenipet20,

Ung affidavit na gagawin mo may format un. Un ung standard na affidavit o sworn statement. Usually, lawyer office dapat ggwa nyan, pero to make life easier tau ang ggwa at inonotarise nlng nila. Pwede ka mgsearch d2 sa net ng sample philippine affidavit. Need mo malaman ung format kc may part dun n mga sentences na need nandun. Hindi na need ng witness. Kung may email ad ka send ko sau ung sample.
Tnx.

markier87 · July 2014

Hi all!

I just want to clarify about something. Should all documents be notarized? Like pictures, bank transfers, Skype logs etc, should they also be notarized? Or only the Affidavits (PH) should be notarized? Please share your experiences. Thanks!

Any comments on this please? Thanks!

muffles127 · July 2014

@markier87 i applied for partner visa pero I also submitted pictures and emails. When I submitted mine (eg. pictures, emails, phone logs, bank statements, and bank certificate) hindi ko siya pinanotarized. Hindi naman naquestion nung case officer.

markier87 · July 2014

@muffles127 Okay. Thanks for your reply!

A bit worried lang kasi I guess I will be lodging them without my Educ Agent kasi they have been very dormant for a long time na.

muffles127 · July 2014

@markier87 kung wala ka naman masyadong complications normally you can do without agent. Very straightforward naman yung checklist nila tsaka when you attach lang yung mga necessary documents na hinihingi nila pwede na yun

goodluck sa application mo

oh by the way meron ka bang partner migration booklet?meron portion dun regarding defacto so yung mga hihingin nila stated dun. Handy na mabasa mo siya.
