He is so good they have given him an appraisal and given him more hours and responsiblity which has taken him into full time work. 
We have some extra papers to fill in but they are likely to refuse him and grant ours he does not qualify for last remaining relative so if in the long run he does decide to come which he always said he wouldn't we are going to have to work clever to find him a way in.
It did cause a bit of upset finding out this on New years eve but we are a strong family and will come through this.
I suppose its all my fault giving birth to a brilliant son who knows where his future goals are. 
Oh Happy new year everyone may all your visas come extra early mine could be another month xx |
Hi
wow, reading your post has just made us feel really awful, we have a similar problem but after reading some earlier posts on this site thought we could get away with it. I really feel for you guys at the mo my son is 19 20 in march, he has already been to college for three years half qualified as a electrician (but couldnt get an apprenticeship to finish) then two years doing carpentery. he has just started a apprenticeship this week in carpentry, we thought it would be more useful for him to complete his long awaited ambition than sit at home hanging round with the wrong people. His wage is poor and quite honestly if we left without him he would be abanoned theres noway he could afford rent, clothes food, bills running his car to actually get him to work (i pay for that at present) and what makes me so mad is my son is actually training here for a skill currently in great demand in OZ so surely me being a midwife, the hubby also being a carpenter would be benefical in the end.
I am just about to send all my paper work off to get registered as a midwife in Brisbane already been offered a good job, but so so worried now that my son will not get in, and to be honest then we dont go either so I only see it as there loss.
the funny thing is in the uk anyone can come in and yet we cant get out!
im going into hosp next week in London so our plan is to go and see a agent to clarify, however we will fight to the end, im not putting my son on the streets here.
My son has got his dad here and grandparents, but me and his dad divorced 18 years ago and his dad doesnt see him and my parents dont wont the worry of him living with them and he doesnt want to live with his grandparents.
oh dear at the moment if my sons rejected I just feel like telling him to hand his notice in
keep in touch
