Defacto Visa, Offshore
Nationality: Canadian (australian defacto)
Phone interview conducted in the U.S.A

I was asked:

Basic identifying questions (my name, my defacto's name, date of birth, about his family, where he is emplyed, etc)
Where we met
How long we had been living together (this was a case specific question for me since my Defacto and I have a rather complicated history)
When did our defacto relationship start
What i intend to do for work once i get to australia
If we had any major purchases together
Why do i think this is a "spouse like" reltionship (its a lot harder to answer than you would think, especially when your on the spot like that!)
What did i think would happen if my visa got refused (yikes!)


I think that's it.... best advice i can give anyone--just say calm and dont worry about it. I wrote down some fates for myself too to have handy since my Defacto and I's history is complicated and has a whole bunch of dates in it. Ther is no harm in doing that for yourself if it will make you feel better. If you forget something (i did, i forgot one of my dates...) just say that your not sure and give an estimate. Immi people are people and they know that sometimes people forget exctly when stuff happens.

Good luck to everybody waiting for an interview!
