-
🧑🤝🧑 Lack of family support:Having issues when your family and social circles does not accept your relationship. This can cause complications of who can verify your relationship.

If a Partner Visa application is refused, the applicant may seek a review of the decision by the Administrative Review Tribunal (ART). It's important to act promptly, as strict time limits apply for lodging a review application.
The Tribunal evaluates several factors, including:
• Financial aspects: Joint ownership of assets, shared financial responsibilities, and combined bank accounts.
• Nature of the household: Living arrangements, shared responsibilities, and mutual support.
• Social aspects: Public acknowledgment of the relationship, joint participation in social activities, and recognition by friends and family.
• Commitment to each other: Duration of the relationship, future plans, and emotional support.
These factors are assessed collectively to determine the authenticity of the relationship.
Applicants should provide comprehensive evidence, such as:
• Joint financial documents: Bank statements, loan agreements, and utility bills in both names.
• Correspondence: Letters, emails, and messages that demonstrate ongoing communication.
• Photographs: Images depicting the couple together over time and in various settings.
• Statutory declarations: Statements from friends and family attesting to the relationship's genuineness.
• Comprehensive documentation: Providing detailed and consistent evidence across all aspects of the relationship.
• Consistency in information: Ensuring that all statements and documents align and support the narrative of a genuine relationship.
Applicants should meticulously prepare their submissions, anticipating potential areas of scrutiny. Consistent and credible documentation across these areas strengthens the application.
