Hey I haven't been on here for AGES!!!
A lot has happened I am now in Australia with my Partner Reece on a working holiday visa, I had a look at getting the second year one however getting a job has been tough so I can't get one
One of the other options is the Australian Partner Visa (I'm sorry if this has come up in another thread but there are so many I thought I would just start another one) which is quite confusing at what needs to be included as Reece is my sponsor and will be paying I can't lodge it online I have to lodge it in person or post which is fine however I have some questions on the Visa as the website can be really unclear and confusing haha
*What documents do we actually need? (Passports, birth certificates etc)
*Do we need to include pictures of us?
*Do we need to put the forms and documents in a folder/Envelope?
*Do I need to apply for a Bridging Visa before my working holiday one has ended? (Even though I have read that when applying for the partner visa you automatically apply for a bridging visa however I have to wait to lodge it til my visa has ended because we need to have the full 12 months)
*How many bank statements/payslip will we need to put in?
The only part of the visa I'm worried about is the financial bit as I haven't had a proper job so haven't been able to join in with Reece paying rent. I have been told by someone who has gone through the same type of Visa (The UK partner one) we only need to show we can survive on Reece's wage however I'm not sure how different the Visas are. We also don't have a joint bank account or anything like that.
I'm sorry if any of that seems confusing I tried to make it as simple as possible
I'm thankful for everyone who helps me with this
