Hi all
I am applying for a 885 visa and would like to add my gf as a secondary applicant. We were together since mid 2008 and we have been living together for 2 years. After reading el kitten's thread, here are the evidence that I have gathered.
Financial
1. Bank accounts showing transfers for sharing of household expenses (rent, internet, groceries)
2. Joint bank account from September 2010 - Is it ok if it is less than a year?
3. No joint assets or liabilities as we are just students.
Nature of household
1. Joint rental of residence
- in 2009, we shared a house with another housemate (all three names were on the lease agreement)
- in 2010, the two of us moved out to stay together
- in 2011, we moved to a share house without any rental agreement. Is this alright? We can provide letters to us which show our new address.
2. No joint names on bills etc
3. Correspondence to same address
4. Sharing of household duties
Social
1. Joint Travel
2. 2 Stat decs
3. Around 20 pictures
Commitment
1. We have met each other's parents and family
2. Phone records
3. Future plans
I would really appreciate your opinions on this and whether it is enough especially for the financial and commitment part. Thank you
And does anyone know whether I can lodge my application first and upload all these evidence at a later date. If so, is there a time limit for doing so?
