De Facto Application
Hi all.
Its great to see so many sharing their experiences and information on this site.
We are a couple who hope to move to Australia in 2005. We've been together for over 5 years and are currently living together in the UK. However we are unsure about a couple of things and want to know if there is anyone who could offer some advice/information.
I'm a Chef by trade and hope to apply under Skilled Independant. I assume I need to do the Trades Assessment before I apply?
Also:
Should my partner apply on my application form? He meets the pool mark for his occupation but not the pass mark?
or
Should he go on a WHV and then apply for partner migration when were out there?
Many thanks.

Re: De Facto Application
As long as you and your partner have been living together for 1 year you can add him to your application as your de facto spouse. It wouldn't be necessary for him to pass the points test.
