We have not applied until the medical is completed and sent. Are partner visa sounds as though it could be a good alternative, I believe carer requires less documentation, would it be realistic to hope to get a partner application in in just over 4 weeks? best

Hi my partner and I have recently lodged an application for a medibank medical examination, a requirment of the carer visa, I am the carer and my partner the caree. Her condition is undiagnosed auto immune, the application was sent a few months ago and due to the complexity of her condition has taken until now to be processed. The doctor has requested a current, Australian nurological report and we have been adviced that no appoints are available until June. My current visa expires in 5 weeks, if we are lucky we may be able to get the application in for processing in 6 or 7. Esther's condition is greatly effected by climate, if I have to leave the country I can not leave her in Australia and brings her back to England could cause Esther's condition to become fatal, due to pass in her windpipe exasipated by the cold. Does anyone know if there is potential for an extension of my current working holiday visa due to extenuating circumstances, or compelling or compassionate circumstances. Once medibank confirm her medical condition I beleive the process will be relatively quick and once the results are received by immigration I will be placed on a bridging visa. Any information would be greatly appreciated. thanks, sam
