My partner got his working holiday visa! Now he can get back over here and we can start working on our partner visa next ♥
Live together, share expenses, accounts and all that.
Can apply for a spouse visa after that (need to live together for 6 months, or just get hitched at the registry).
All the best to you both :)
Thank ye! We've already got our relationship registered with the gov - doesn't need to be marriage yet! Got to be in Australia to start the partner visa process and have him be able to stay, so it's going to be easier like this. Partner visa shouldn't be too bad!
Crazy idea but: Marry ‘em. 2 second job done. Wanna know how much marriage changed my relationship? Bugger all. Beyond she gets half my shit if she does eventually snap and kill me and tbh that’s totally fair haha
We've been dating 8 years online (thanks, Covid, for making it way more of a task...) and had very little in-person time, so we're holding off on marriage until we've had more time together in-person (four months IRL together so far) just in case we end up really not vibing offline. Would rather not go through a divorce if it doesn't work out!
