The Challenge:

The applicant had not formally divorced from a previous spouse but had entered a new de facto relationship, with a child born from the new union. Due to the ongoing legal marriage and a lack of traditional cohabitation proof, the partnership visa case faced significant scrutiny. 
Our Solution:

We conducted a legal risk assessment and emphasized the long-term separation from the former spouse, advising the applicant on preparing supporting documents to reflect genuine partnership elements — including shared parenting responsibilities and consistent cohabitation since the new relationship began. 
The Outcome:

Despite the complex legal backdrop, the visa was approved without delay, validating our documentation strategy and legal framing. 
Highlight:

Successfully obtained a partnership-based work visa in a sensitive case where the applicant had not yet finalized divorce but lived in a stable de facto relationship with a child involved.
