form 47sk
question, on the form 47sk, it asks for marital status, i am applying for skilled 136.
the two which i have a question about is, engaged or in a de facto relationship. we have recently got engaged, after living together for three years and being in a relationship for 15yrs, now that we are engaged do we still have to give the same evidence as being in a de facto relationship when askd for evidence of a lasting and commited relationship? what difference is a de facto relatinship to being engaged, with respect to the visa process.
Just wanna make sure that i am dong this right and my partner goes on the 47sk application with myself.
thx lisa

You will need to prove it with joint bank accounts , bills etc, holiday snaps, statements from people who know you as a couple, stuff to prove you live as a couple.

Hi Lisa...
A defacto relationship is were you have been with your boyfriend for more than 6 months and can prove this by producing documentation to back this up (confirmed in writing and by phone by DIMIA). If you are engaged and are not going to get married for say about another year or two you have to class yourselve as in a defacto relationship
This is what the booklet 6 says:-
Your spouse is the person with whom you live as husband and wife, either legally marriedor in a de facto relationship. If you are in a de facto relationship, you must include evidence that your relationship is genuine and continuing, and you have a commitment to a shared life together
You can prove your relationship by getting certified copies of joint bank accounts, tenancy agreements, any letters that have been sent to you both, bills etc...
Hope this helps

Re: form 47sk
hi lisa,
i think some other advice you have been given is incorrect.
you should provide documents etc to show that you have been livingtogether as advised.
showing 6 months worth is not sufficient.
i refer you to legislation;
subject to paragraph (e) and subregulation (2A), where either of them is an applicant for a permanent visa...the Minister is satisfied that, for the period of 12 months immediately preceding the date of application of the party relying on the existence of the relationship:
(i) they had a mutual commitment to a shared life as husband and wife to the exclusion of all others; and
(ii) the relationship between them was genuine and continuing; and
(iii) they had:
(A) been living together; or
(B) not been living separately and apart on a permanent basis;
provided you can address the same you should be OK.
you may consider using a professional migration agent.
