Same Sex Partner Visas  - An Post Script by Michael Jeremy, Our Same-Sex Immigration Specialist.

2009 has to be one of the most dramatic years to ever hit DIAC over the head.

Immigration was NEVER out of the news and it wasn’t just a particular area of interest and it was the whole bloody lot. On top of the usual dramatics with refugees, compulsory detention , border protection etc DIAC rolled out significant changes to skilled migration and to the notorious “457” work visa program.

Then when you thought it couldn’t get any more fraught the overseas education industry began to unravel at a rate of knots. This was decidedly smelly and government and non-government  agencies went into frenzied damage control.

Amidst all of this, and in my opinion one of the most extraordinary changes in heart, policy and law occurred outside of thesejuggernauts ....this being DIAC’s first real and legislative acceptance of same sex partnerships.
On 01 July 2009 immigration law, regulations, forms and attitude changed to equalise same sex partnerships with opposite sex defacto partnerships.

It was a significant as these changes flowed through automatically into ever visa category and laid rest to the previous “interdependent” visa category which euphemistically enabled Australians to sponsor a same-sex overseas partner.

Changes were not limited to the Immigration Department but also flowed throughout Australian government to endeavour to remove systemic and administrative discrimination against Australian guys who want to be with other guys and Australian gals who want to be with other gals.

However, if you want happen to fall in love with or want to make a go in life with your beau from beyond our shores then you both need to still lodge applications and pass significant checks and criteria and mind your p’s and q’s in the process.

Even if you feel confident to “do it yourself” it is usually worthwhile to get some professional advice so that you aren’t needlessly worrying about something or much worse, oblivious to a point in law that could result in the ultimate road block – application refusal and then more stress and drama with potential application for review.
