Not enough evidence!!
We've just been told that we don't have enough evidence for a de-facto visa by our agency. They have recommended that we wait for a further 6 months before applying even though we have been together fior 2 1/2 years!! Unfortunately we never had joint bank accounts or bills ect previous to Jan this year. Now I'm not so happy, although I suppose another 6 months isn't long to wait, it just depends on how long the application takes to go through after that!!

Our friend came here having never lived with his future wife and they were together 2 years. He got his de facto and is here. They do not have a joint bank account either.
What happens to those who do not believe in living together before marriage?
I'd look into it further

Doesn't sound quite right to me Marie; what evidence do you have of your relationship before January? And how long have you actually lived together?

Spoke agin to the agency and she said that if we wait until Jan next year we will have all the evidence needed and it could take only 4 weeks to get the visa through.
Is she right, can it really happen that quickly??

Yep the agent is right De-facto visas tend to happen quickly once the application has been made.
Mine only took 2 days for them to decide.
Do you want to be in Oz urgently or will it be OK in 6 months. If so collect the evidence for 6 months so they cannot reject you. Could be expensive to go through the application for them to turn it down.

We have lived together for just over 2 years, previous to Jan this year the only evidence we have is holiday's as a family and his bank and credit card statements being sent to the same property. All the bills were in my name and anything else we bought together is normally paid in cash.Obviously we have friends and family that can vouch for us too.

My other half wanted to spend Christmas here and hopefully have one last snowboarding holiday in Lapland so I suppose another 6 months won't affect us that much, especially if they do there visa's that quick I suppose I'm just impatient and was looking fowrad to handing in my notice at work sooner rather than later

All the best.
