baz6679 Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 Hi All Looking for some expert advice on this one. Our friends came here on a 176 Visa. Due to some problems they have hit a rocky patch and the main applicant is now returning home. The partner who came here under the main applicants visa does not want to return. Does she have any options as regards staying or do they also have to return? There is also a teenager involved here and the teenager would also like to stay. Any advice much appreciated. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest30085 Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 Hi there If they each have their own PR visa, then if one returns home then the other one can stay. The only problems occur when one tries to remove children from the country, they need the other parents permission to remove the child from the jurisdiction, but it doesnt sound like this is the case here, if the teenager wants to stay. Its never a nice situation to be in, would talking to someone help? Maybe relationship counselling? I wish them all the best Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They came under the husbands trade as it was in demand here and the wife does not want to return. So she can definitely stay?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest30085 Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 Yes, when he was granted Permanent Residency under the 176 visa, so was all of his family members that were included on his application. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest The Pom Queen Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 If its a PR visa and she has it in her name then afaik yes she can stay (but hopefully one of the agents can confirm this for you) the problems arise if they are on temp visas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest30085 Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 I keep trying to send a longer reply but it keeps crashing Basically there are extreme circumstances when a visa may be revoked, such as serious criminal activity (if not a Citizen) or fraudulently obtaining a visa etc. Once the 176 was activated, the wife could have walked away then and would still have her PR.
