Hello everyone,

i m an international student and my boyfriend in a permanent resident. i lodged my de facto file last week, and i got a letter from my case officer to provide further information in relation to my partner visa application within 28days.

my case officer asked me to submit more documents regarding one year relationship requirement for de facto and other documents regarding the indication of commitment(mutual commoitment to a shared life)



me and my boyfiend leaving together from last 1 1/2 yrs. we are going to marry this december.

i provided documents as follows.

* intention of marriage reciept

* Financial
-joint account
- joint lease from last 3months(old lease was on my Boyfriend's name only)
- telephone, gas, electricity, internet bills.
- payslips
-
* Social
- 2 satutory declaration
- joint invitation cards for b'day party
- joint Xmas wishes card
- photographs- indicates each others b'day celebrations, travel, social function etc.
- travel tickets together
- history of relationship from both of us
- each others mobile calling history attached with bills
-

health and character certificates


i try my best to collect all documents.

but my case officer asked me to provide documents that show the nature of our relationship, "the federal court of Australia has described as a mutual commitment to a shared life."

and case officer asked to provide evidence that me and my partner were not living apart on permanent basis in last one year.

Do i need to provide all my last years bills in a sequence?that can prove same residential address from last 12months or something that can prove we were leaving together and we havent seperated during last year. does bank statements help that indicate, we supported each other financially.

i am really confused regarding these documents because i attached more than 50 evidences. i really appreciate any comments from you guys.

cheers

twinkle
