And quite right he should have gained citizenship long ago

Thanks for the feedback. He does have a lawyer but her strategy so far involves committing further offences it would seem so I don’t trust her thanks again

Hi i have a complex situation with my brother and seeking some guidance. He is currently in jail, convicted of corruption, sentenced to 5 years suspended after 20 months. He is not a citizen but has a permanent resident visa. He has been in Australia along with the rest of our family since 1962. under section 201 he automatically faces visa cancellation ands show cause. my questions are, if anyone can assist will his potential deportation be executed after his release or do they contemplate deportation while he is is serving his time? will dimia notify him during his sentence or will they wait till he is released, detain him and then advise home of their decision? Can his immigration lawyer seek and early determination so they can take others course of action for an appeal to the courts? thanks to any who can respond john
