JayNBee Posted February 21, 2007 Report Share Posted February 21, 2007 Is it advisable for us to apply as a couple or separately - that is, one application for the pair of us, or two separate applications?Bye for now,Juanita Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mara Posted February 21, 2007 Report Share Posted February 21, 2007 Hi JuanitaA 136 application has a main applicant, either you or your husband, whoever is able to secure the most points. The other person is then a dependant of the main applicant. So you will actually have just one application. Hope that answers your question.

Guest EMMA Posted February 21, 2007 Report Share Posted February 21, 2007 Hi J2 Applications = 2 x A$1990 = ~ R24000. Rather go for one with the strongest candidate as the main applicant.emma Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fiona Posted February 21, 2007 Report Share Posted February 21, 2007 Is it advisable for us to apply as a couple or separately - that is, one application for the pair of us, or two separate applications?Bye for now,JuanitaMara is right- you will only need one application, with a main and secondary applicant. That is if you are married or de facto. In some instances if you are not married it may be advisable to apply separately.Regards,FionaRegistered Migration AgentGold Coast, Australia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ptlabs Posted February 22, 2007 Report Share Posted February 22, 2007 In some instances if you are not married it may be advisable to apply separately.Even if the couple is not married, so long as they are in a de-facto relationship, the partner must be declared as such in the application form.So, unless you're not in a de-facto relationship and not married, there's little point in applying separately.Peter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pixi Posted February 22, 2007 Report Share Posted February 22, 2007 Please help me here - if you apply on a 136, you can prove the de facto relationship, after say six months in OZ your relationship goes done the drain, will both parties be able to stay on, or is it only the main applicant? Thnx for your help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Larry Posted February 22, 2007 Report Share Posted February 22, 2007 Please help me here - if you apply on a 136, you can prove the de facto relationship, after say six months in OZ your relationship goes done the drain, will both parties be able to stay on, or is it only the main applicant? Thnx for your helpThe short answer is "Yes". - When you apply for and are granted a 136 visa, all persons listed on the application are granted full permanent residency. So if the relationship goes down the drain, both persons would be able to stay in OZ. It is an entirely different case for somebody who is granted a spousal visa. Usually, the visa is cancelled. But if there are special circumstances (such as spousal abuse), DIAC will consider allowing the sponsored person to stay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
