Hi there,
wondering if anyone can help us. My mother in law came to Australia In approx 1970 on a 10 pound ticket. How can we find out what Immigration status she has in Australia? She let her uk passport expire in 1974 and hasn’t had one since. Doesn’t have an Australian passport either. We are trying to organise pensions ect. and were told she is not eligible but they are not giving us much info. We have called home affairs and national archives to get information on her status, but no help at all. Just getting palmed off to other departments. Anyone got an idea on what kind of status she would have in Australia? Would she be a permanent resident? Would be great if anyone could share some info on those 10 pound tickets? She hasn’t left Australia since she came here and she is eligible to vote.
Thanks in advance.
