As others have said, you need professional advice. You already know that you are dependent on your husband's 489 visa to stay in the country. Its not a Partner Visa that you are on, you are a dependent on a 489. Therefore without that relationship the only way you an stay is if you qualify for a visa in your own right. Just "staying with your sister wont cut it I'm afraid.

No, if she is resident in the UK she will be able to attend school like any other child.

not always. it is generally the case but they can actually use whatever date they want

One has to wonder , as he clearly had mental health issues, whether he would have passed the medical for PR anyway, even if he had reached the level to pass skills assessments etc. Even a Spouse Vusa would require him to pass a medical.

Just to take issue with one small part of the stunning amount of tosh you have poured onto this thread........ Many Australians are not of European descent Many people resident in Australia do not follow Christianity. There are many other recognised religions, and a lot of people are atheists, Many people resident i Australia either don't speak English or only have a basic functional knowledge of the language Today's Australia is a mix of cultures. Those from an Eastern background are hardly likely to abandon their culture completely on moving to Australia.

Like I said, they aren't going to take your word for it.

The blood test is not done for fun, it is to check whether you have various medical conditions which could cause you to be a drain on the oz medical system. They aren't going to take your word for it, they need the test done as proof. As above, No medical, no visa. Simple.

Not sure why you've dug up such an old thread, but - one cannot fail the ozzie medical on obesity alone, if there are other conditions as a result of obesity things could be different.

What visa do you currently hold?

Won't make any difference to the processing time

He's telling the truth, as borne out by many many posts on here and the experience of many posters. If one applies for a 820/801 then as soon as the Bridging Visa kicks in one gets full working rights.

You should get professional guidance if you plan to apply for another visa as you could end up in a mess.

Australia has Fire Departments to deal with bushfires. Immigration Officers are a very different animal and will not be out fighting fires.

Highly unlikely to be speeded up, even if she was from a low risk country. From a high risk country there is virtually no chance, especially as it is your relative not hers. They will say you can travel back any time Your agent may be able to put a good case for a tourist visa but I reckon thats the best you;ll get

But the person is not a citizen or permanent resident, and they are being treated no differently to any other temporary resident.
