Hello, im new here so be easy on me!
Right, so this is a long story so let me explain.
My dad moved down here to Oz with the whole family back in 2009 with the 457 Visa as our visa. All went well until he was made redundant about five months ago, what happened was my dad was in the process of getting everything ready for permanent residency, as in the paper work given to us by our immigration agent as well as the health checks, and again he was made redundant shortly after. My dad managed to find another sponsor nice and quickly, but while on his job hunt he passed the age threshold to apply for residency (50).
Now my father has to work for another 4 years with the same employer to even think about applying for residency as well and also has to have a wage of $129,300?
Are there any other options? My family are stressed 24/7 and are on the verge of a collapse. I'm trying to work and save so I can pay International fees for next year, and everything is looking utterly horrible for my family at the moment.
My Dad has tried looking for work in England, but the Market for his occupation right now isn't the best and he's finding it hard enough as it is now to keep it together. We also calculated that we wouldn't have enough money to move back and get a mortgage, and I would be hit with a 3 year clause and be labeled as an international student because I've been out of England for more than 3 years.
Is there anything that can be done at all, my family is literally stuck in Limbo, and every Idea we have is gives us no help.
