The Subclass 820 Partner Visa can be confusing to navigate without a guide. What is at stake? Your future with your Australian partner. A genuine relationship is one of the most important aspects of the application. You don't have to just show that you're in a relationship, but rather provide concrete proof of its authenticity and continuity. Here are the essentials that will guide you.
Solid Evidence: It's Important
Department of Home Affairs will not accept your word alone; they want proof. The Department of Home Affairs wants comprehensive, well documented evidence that spans your entire relationship. What is the reason? It is all about building trust and legitimacy with the law.
What evidence will you need?
1. Financial Aspects
Evidence of joint ownership or documents proving joint tenancy is crucial. Utility bills are also important. It is important to have tangible proof that you share financial responsibilities and rewards with your partner.
2. Household Type
The way you run your household is also important to your application. It is important to consider how you divide household chores and responsibilities, such as the care of your children and sharing responsibilities.50
3. Social Context in Relationship
It is important to consider how other people perceive your relationship. The social reality of your relationship can be portrayed by statements from friends and relatives, social media interactions and evidence of shared participation in social activities.
4. Your Commitment
If you are in a committed relationship, then your long-term goals, your correspondence with your partner that shows commitment, or the terms of your insurance policies and wills that list your partner as a beneficiary, can all be powerful evidence.
Tips on Gathering Evidence
- Get Started Early : Compile evidence as early as possible. The more information you have, the better.
- Keep It Organised: Chronologically organise evidence to help the visa officer understand the timeline.
- Do your homework: More information is always better. If you feel that something is relevant, then include it.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Insufficient Evidence: Don't just submit the minimum evidence and hope that it will be accepted. It's all about quantity and quality.
- Inconsistencies Make sure that all documents and forms you submit are consistent.
- Outdated data: Your documents should all be up to date and relevant for the time when you submitted your application.
It is important to prepare a Subclass 820 visa application with meticulous preparation and attention to details. Remember, you must demonstrate that not only are you in a committed relationship, but also that your relationship meets all the requirements set forth by Australian immigration authorities. A carefully selected, organised evidence can unlock your future together in Australia.
