    I have read posts on this forum about how couples have had to separate for 2-3 months for while waiting for the outcome of the dependent visa. Unfortunately it's a possibility that you have to brace yourself for.
    No actually days before his tourist visa expired, we exit Macau and came back so he got a 14day tourist visa then.

    There are only so many visa runs your husband can do before being found out. Unfortunately, unless you can convince immigration you husband has a genuine need to stay here while dependent visa is being process, I am afraid you have to brace yourself for the fact that he may have to go back to his home country while the application is being processed.
