Hi all,
I'm an American applying for a partnership work visa to be with my Kiwi partner. We've been together for 10 months, we traveled together through Japan and have many people who recognize our relationship and are writing letters. However, the pre-submission anxiety is kicking in and I wanted to lay out my information and see if everyone thinks it will be enough.
We do not have a joint bank account but I have highlighted the thousands of dollars transferred between us. We have tickets to Japan and Korea, travel back, several months of social media conversations, many pictures of us together, email's, and a joint utility account. My worry is that although we've been living together for a month, my partner only signed onto the lease recently. By time I submit an application we will have been living together only a few weeks. There's this, and that our only documents of financial interdependence are joint utility and phone bills, plane tickets, and the money transferred between us.
Is this enough? My working holiday visa expires at the end of April and reading some posts here have me worried that I will have to leave the country. My partner and I are clearly in a relationship and living together but will they claim it hasn't been for long enough or that we are not financially interdependent enough? Any information would be a great help.
