I have of late reconnected with a french Woman with whom I lived here in Australia more than a decade back. The circumstances are interesting, and as much as I could write a pretty fairytale of a novella, I will aim for brevity in my quest for advice...From the first moment I heard her voice, my heart stirred with the sound of angels singing her name. As it always used to....I will leave such loveliness alone and try to stick to the main point!
I am heading to spend time with her in my motherland of England, in January, for close to a month. Her and her son.
We formerly lived together in Brighton for 3 years 2002-4 before heading here to Melbourne for a year in 04/05.
We have spoken daily, nightly, exchanged tomes of letters, brought each other into our lives in every way possible form afar. It had not merely been a rekindling of flames which still burn, but revelations of a love for us both which has matured as we have done on our separate paths and somehow the mutual magnetism has pulled us back into each others hearts and souls.
She has also reconnected with my close friends from home. I am Melbourne born but English bred. And have both passports.
I am already wondering how viable it could be to bring her and her 1 year old child here to Australia. To live. We were engaged before, and I suspect this is where our aligning paths will lead us again, if not to marriage.
Now to the scary parts...
How viable in this plan?
After I have spent a month there, she and her little man will come to visit me and live here for a while in whatever visa capacity can be gleaned prior to something more serious...
Other than the tens of thousands of voice calls and wattsapp conversations, I consider that the letters might help any case for a engagement or marriage visa? What else might help? What could we hope for?
Does my employment status and lack of sponsorship for any others add weight to any application? And the fact that I have my family here also?
Can anyone please offer me some loose advice on these matters? I am somewhat in the dark.
Our paths may well go in other directions, but it makes practical sense to glean some advice on this mutual hope and aim.
Any help will be greatly appreciated,
Thank you,
Daniel
