Any probs with defacto?
Im applying for a 175 visa with my girlfriend as my defacto partner in the new year.
I live at her house 99.9% of the time and have utility bills in both our names going back about a year. We also have travel documents and bits and bobs to support our relationship.
Have any guys on here ever had problems with a defacto application and what were they?
Im probably worrying unecessarily, but this is the only part of my application which I feel may cause problems.

Re: Any probs with defacto?
Initially I provided my CO with tenancy agreement, rental receipts (Utilities were included) in both our names, bank letters etc - although the CO said that this just showed that we shared an address which wasn't enough because two unrelated people can still live in the same place.
I then showed the certificate from my Super fund listing her as my beneficiary, joint Christmas cards, plane receipts (we had arrived together), we filled out statutory declarations and I got a couple of guys I work with (both Aussies) to sign stat decs.
Then it was OK.
