I know there's no definitive answer to this; I've spent enough of my own time in visa queues over the years. But does anyone have a ballpark figure for the processing time for a (partner) de facto visa?

I'm AUS resident, she's Dutch, the relationship is all legit and the forms are almost ready to be sent. I've heard six months mentioned, in this case I would have to give up our apartment and house share as I can't afford to keep the place on my own.

My mate did the same with his girlfriend and the visa was granted in 2 weeks! However, it was different as he's here on 457 and she's in AUS on either 457 or WHV.

Cheers,
John
