Thanks for your help BB

So does that mean when my daughters visa expires she can apply for a different one because he is a resident?

This is the problem we have been kept so much in the dark about things! I know that his family were out there four years ago on his mums skilled visa and he was named as a dependant, all I know is that his family went back to Australia last year and he had up till April this year to return.So I don't know if that means he's a resident

She isn't backpacking, I'm not worried about her safety in Australia its more to do with the circumstances in which she has gone because I don't believe she is doing it for herself

Thank you Marisa that's what I needed to know. It's a complicated situation and though she's an adult (young) as parents its been very worrying for us, we know she didn't have the finances so we have to assume he is funding it.She was only with him a çouple of months before making this decision and it all seems to have been done on a wing and a prayer, I'm only worried .

Thats what I meant,thank you Sustain

Sorry if its not very clear but we have not been given a lot of information from her.As far as I know her boyfriend has lived in Australia before as a dependant, his mumshe is on a skilled visa.He returned with his family on that visa. My daughter as far as I know has a 12moth working holiday visa but I don't know how much she needs to support herself till she finds work.

Hi! I'm hoping you guys on here can help me as a worried parent. My daughter has recently arrived in Australia on a whv for 12 months. We knew six months ago she was planning it but gave us very little information, I won't bore you all with the details but basically she has gone with her boyfriend who has lived there before and has emigrated on his parents skilled visa.I've looked at processing times for the visa and requirements but am still confused! Can anybody help me on how long it takes to process and the financial requirements because from everything I have read she doesn't have the finances and I'm worried that I was only given a few days notice before she left the UK. Thanks
