Thanks for the message. I'm not married but have a de facto partner.

Thanks for your input!

I can understand this approach! Being unsure led me to asking on here!

I'm not but thank you!!!

Thanks for the reply! Do you know of any other documents that need to be certified? I have Passport, Birth certificate, Diploma, Certificate III, Drivers Licence. Anything else you or anyone can suggest?

Evening all I was wondering if anyone could help me. I have documents that need to be certified for an upcoming 187 direct entry application. I understand that things like Passports, Qualifications and Birth certificates need to be certified but what about documents like police checks and IELTS test results? Any help would be much appreciated! Thanks David

Thanks for the reply! Yes we have been living together for about a year. During that time we have lived in perth for 6 months and previously during our farm work and then before that in Manly, NSW. We don't have a shared bank account or anything like that though and we have been staying in shared accommodation. Many thanks for your help!

Hi all! Thanks for reading this. I am after advice about an opportunity that has come me and my girlfriends way. We are both half way through our 2nd year of our working holiday visa's and now working away in Perth and living in Freo. My employer wants to sponsor me on a 457 visa and is adamant he can due to having sponsored other people in the same way. I'm an audio visual technician with lots of valuable experience. My girlfriend and I have decided to look into this option of staying here in aussie for longer! My question is - how do I get her visa to change too? Does she go on mine and is it relatively straight forward? We have been together over a year and shes from Italy. Whilst her english is very good is she required to sit a test etc? Please excuse my lack of research, I know I could look into the rules on the government and migration website but this doesn't provide any personal experiences! Any advice on how easy this would be or any problems we would come across would be great! Thank you in advance, David & Francesca.

Yeah we can make it I think! I'll check with the misses! :-)

Sounds good mate, we should be able to make it! :-)

Hi Steph that sounds great! Sure we can meet up. I'm staying away for work this next week but after that would be cool. I'll pm you my number. Thanks!

Sundays are good for us too although we are away this weekend and next! It would be great to meet up sometime though!

Hi Alex! Myself and my girlfriend are going to the Freo concert tomorrow and are looking to meet up with new people also. We've been living in Freo for 3 months and love it here! I'm 31 and english, my girlfriends is 30 and Italian. Let me know if you would like to meet up and if Anna-88 would like to as well then great! Pm me Thanks, David and Francesca.

Hi Amy and Paul! Thank you for the reply also! Yeah we'd like to meet up for sure! We are going to the Freo gig (concert for the kimberley) tomorrow afternoon if you fancy it? If not let us know when you are free. We hope to meet up with you soon. :-)

Hey there! Thank you for the reply, that sounds great! Yeah its a difficult place to break into but we do love it here.
