I am here with my partner, we have been granted another 3 month stay yipee, ive always loved Australia and have been here many times, i have a daughter son/inlaw living in Melbourne on permanent resident visas, my other two children on on 1 year work permits in Sydney and are in the process of been sponsored. my massive massive dilema is my partner has had a criminal record he received a four year sentance in April 2007 and spent 2 years in prison, we are both devasted and ashamed about this, my partner before the crime and ever since is the kindest caring loving person i have ever met, my adult children adore him xx the thing is i love my kids so much and i dont want to leave them xxxx getting to the point is there any hope at all my partner wil be able to live in Australia he has never been in trouble before the crime or after, to me my children and everyone that knows him he is of perfect character, any thought feelings stories or facts, i would be so grateful for any feedback, thank Sonya x
