Judyy

She is a nice enough girl but I just don't trust her yet... After they got married I invited them over to discuss the future. I asked how this visa worked and the process etc... She told me when they send the application off she gets automatic work rights once the visa has been acknowledged and it takes 12 months to process so she's guaranteed to be here for a year atleast? Can anyone clarify that?? I asked if there was an option to go back to the uk and she said there is but as my son don't have a passport it's something they haven't considered and won't look into as they don't want to be apart!!

Yes I am a little cynical to as it all happened very quickly .... I agree they should fund the application themselves, however I'm guessing they are on a tight timescale as I assume her holiday visa is due to expire soon! And with her being unable to work and my son being young they simply don't have the funds.... I'm guessing that's why he asked mum here!?

Thank you for all your replies.... Yes it is a difficult situation. I just can't see how they can issue a second partner visa to someone that's all... I guess I need to cut the apron strings and see how it goes!

Hello everyone please help me my son has just asked me for almost $5000 to apply for a partner visa with his British girlfriend before I hand the money over I need some advice as I don't know much about immigration heres what I do know my sons girlfriend has been in australia for a few years first in a working holiday visa for two years then wait for it she applied for a partner visa with her previous boyfriend..... The visa got accepted but was then cancelled as their relationship broke down 6 months before she was eligible for permanent residency.. She he applied I think for a holiday visa after this cancellation and was allowed to stay here for 28 days where she moved in with my son!! The 28 days ran out and as far as I'm aware she got a 3 month holiday visa! She's not allowed to work! Just before the 3 months ran out my son informs me they got married!!!!! Talk about whirlwind romance she is now on another holiday visa for 28 days in which they wish to apply for a partner visa!!! My my son is smitten with this girl bit I don't want to hand the money over of immigration will refuse this application it's a lot to loose and I don't know what to do. From what iv researched they only got married to waive the 12 month living together rule and she is obviously aware that the average processing time takes a year as she's done the whole process before! Anyhelp will be much appreciated
