Apply for Visa 820

689 Views 4 Replies 2 Participants Last post by  gift
Hi everyone. In 9th of Feb it will be one year since my partner and I have moved in together (we started our relationship 1.6 years ago). As we applied to register our relationship and we are just waiting for the certificate to lodge the visa, do you reckon it’s better I lodge the visa now (I have collected all the documents and they are ready to be uploaded) and when I receive the certificate, I upload it (as I’m worried that the new legislation may come to effect this week); or still wait for the certificate?

Also, I have posted my application for registering relationship in Victoria one month ago. Does anyone know how long it takes that they send me the certificate?
Many thanks.

You do not need the certificate to lodge, but be sure it has been granted.

Without knowing the particulars of your case, I cannot advise you whether to lodge.

I can advise that you can apply for a relationship certificate after lodgement and if one is granted it will have force.

They want evidence of an exclusive, mutual, continuing relationship, living together (or why not) and 'financial entanglement'.
