thanks Alan

Hi does anyone know if it is possible to contact the Australian immigration to get an extension on a bvb visa.Ive been in the UK for 5 months trying to sort out my 84 year old father who has dementia and mine runs out on 2nd November.My husband was here with me for 3 months and flew back to Melbourne on 9th September and i was meant to go shortly after,however 3 weeks ago my dad fell and broke his hip,they have since discovered a tumour in his hip and following a biopsy it may now take another 3 weeks to get the result.He is unable to go home and i am now trying to empty his house on my own and sell it as well as desperately trying to find out what will happen to him after surgery.I have 3 weeks left on my bridging visa and time is running out,is my only option to fly back to Melbourne and apply for another bridging visa to fly straight back or would they extend on compassionate grounds?.Im dads only family and there is literaly no one else to help,i am on the verge of a nervous breakdown over this as is my husband.

thanks i hope so!

Me and my Australian husband are currently in the UK sorting out my 84 year old father who has dementia and is frail,we put in for my partner visa online in April this year and i applied and was granted a 6 month bridging visa b to return home to deal with my dad.I have to be back in Australia by November 2nd but i am really anxious as the onshore is now 12-18 months,does anyone know if its possible to obtain another bridging visa b incase my dad gets worse or dies in the meantime?,i also have my horse back in the UK which i intend to bring to Australia but darent until our visa is processed.I feel like im in limbo!!
