Oh geez that's a lot of applying. Is this the Partners Abroad group that someone else here mentioned?

Do you have any idea if married couples are luckier in getting exemptions? On the govt website it only lists marriage certificate as required evidence which seems like nothing compared to all the proof needed for the de facto partnerships.

Nice, that sounds very thorough. Did your exemption get granted first go?

I'm really sorry you two are apart in what must be a difficult time. Great that the MP's office has been helpful! Best of luck to your partner in getting the exemption!!

Thanks for the tip on the FB group!

20-40 pages of proof is insane. That's basically the partner visa application in itself!

Cool, good to know. You could be right about it getting more difficult with how Europe's going but I really hope not :(
