Go check your evidences and find the earliest date you can prove your de facto relationship (might be an email or an invitation) and use that as 12 month requirement date.

Yes beware the rumoured sponsorship approval changes.

Also to think about - The PMV fee was $2,680 in July 2013, in September 2013 it went to $3,085 then Jan 2015 to $4,630 and July 2015 again to $6,865. It is now $7,000.

I may also have some bank statements showing transfers between us. I probably have more evidence than i think i do.

You will do, find it - is the best option

Registration of relationship removes the 12 month timeframe requirement.

But not the required evidence requirements.

I'll leave you with Sky and Eh, they are more current than me and both capable of heading you in the right direction.

Yes exactly. Ok I think we should be ok. Thanks so much for your help guys. Are you able to share a link where I can read more about the changes that may be implemented with regards to Partner / De Facto?

Thank you

Wow that's very funny!

Sorry but you will find out why I make that statement.

 

[ampk]

No not implemented, but don't expect any prior warning of changes until implemented date.

Often it is at best a few days notice.

The fact you think they give notice/warning of changes.

We all thought that was a given or a normal before we started this process - how wrong we were.
