189 , proof of relationship with spouse
Hi guys,im about to lodge my application for a 189 visa for Australia,I have all official documents certified and ready to attach,between me and my defacto girlfriend we have 35 pages combined,there is a limit of 60 files,so does that only leave me 25 pages to attach to prove our relationship?..
We have 100s of pages proving our relationship so how do include everything in 60 files.?am I missing something here,maybe there's an option to upload the defacto stuff later,or maybe someone could be more specific in what to include in the 60 file limit,really stuck on this one,and I'm ready to apply but I want to get it right before I apply

Re: Spouse Visa Queries
AN agent does not need to be based where you are, the main advice I would give is that you choose one who is MARA regostered.
There are several that use this site, posting information for free, and they put their details in their signatures so that peple can contact them and engage them for help with visas. If you look for posts by TeeTMI, George Lombard or Alan Collett, I would personally recommend any of those.

Re: 189 , proof of relationship with spouse
As the others have said, you shouldn't have to provide so much proof that it exceeds 25 files. If you are struggling you could merge PDF documents, or paste all photos into one Word document, but I would take Bermudashorts' advice and not overdo it.
Also - there is the option of supplementing information to your CO via email.
Don't worry!

Re: Spouse Visa Queries
You don't need hundreds of pages of evidence. I think sometimes people get very silly with their photos, party invitations and prints of text messages and emails etc. The main thing to include is proof of joint address for over a year, get a few things that do this, chuck on a couple of photos if you want and you would easily get this 25 documents.
