i will be selling the entire contents of my large suburban home and my new car, leaving behind a young cat and the most beautfiul environment ever. so, if i dont get the visa, hey its a blessing in disguise.
my main concern is MisterTanaka's post. we will be applying for my husbands dependant visa the second mine arrives... but i then only have 2-3 weeks to get my butt to HK. my heart breaks at the thought of having to leave our country seperately, especially as he has never left aust. me, many times.
im sure if they knew the stress i was under they'd fasttrack it
(i wish)
my question - are dependant visas a "given"? is it true they are merely administrative? if so we will simpy leave before it comes through. throw caution to the wind!
edit - thanks to the wordly advice on this forum, we are goiong to include a letter from our attorney with his application, and with mine if i need to re-submit. best advice ever.
