3 Year exclusion - Sponsor Wife. Some Help.

Post by Tony315 » Tue May 20, 2008 8:19 am

Hi,

Have a dilemma if anyone has any insights greatly appreciated. Basically my partner overstayed her Visa, didn't get it renewed within 28 days of it expiring now they are going to cancel it and give her a 3 month exclusion period. The guy at immigration told her they'd call her before it expired, they didn't, she forgot and now all this trouble begins.

Her family got a lawyer and I have a feeling they are being ripped off, they are pouring a lot of money into it with no results. We were going to get married at a later date but the lawyer said that may be the only way to keep her in the country, something about me appealing if they do cancel her visa. We are now married but I'm not 100% sure where we stand. The lawyer is sending her student visa overseas or some shit to try and get it approved by another country. It makes no sense to me, its been going on for a year, apparently Immigration verbally granted her a bridging visa till July, I have no idea what happens after that.

Basically if she got kicked out of the Country, I'd just leave with her and go live in the UK for a few years or something (she is an American Citizen), however my Mum is struggling with Cancer at the moment and I don't want to leave Australia. So I'm between a rock and a hard place. Any suggestion would be appreciated. I don't have much money (I'm a student) so Legal advice for me personally is going to be hard to obtain.

Cheers

Tony

My simpathys!
1- clear way aot of it- twisted and dangerous... you should both try to leave the contry on small private ie boat to any other country (ie NZ) that way regarding when she left afterwards would be hard to prove and suspect to anyone on reentry... just an suggestion?
2- keep paying lawyers....
very best of luck!
