Hi everyone,
I have a question about common-law partnership. My fiance and I have been together for almost 3 years, but we have not lived together for 12 months, as inquired by the application. We have traveled a lot together, visited various events, and did all sorts of happy couple stuff. Many people can attest to the status of our relationship. My question is do you think we should apply together as common-law partners, or should we apply separately? Do you know a couple that did not live together for a year, but still qualified for common-law status? The truth is we can probably qualify separately, but together our application will be almost a guaranteed success.
On the flip-side of that, if we apply separately and only one of us gets the PR, how difficult is it to for both of us to immigrate, assuming that we are married by then?
As always, thank you kindly for all the help, you guys are fabulous!

N,
I and my partner have applied as common-law partner. Fortunately we have lived together for 5 years. However, it is good to hear that you have travelled together. Tabulate the page/date of immigration stamping and submit it with your application to show that you have been travelling together for the past 3 years. Compile pictures of the travel and arranage them according to destination and date of travel.
We had also submitted an application to NZ and the visa officer never question the travel evidence that we submitted.
