Hi guys,
So I am currently on a bridging visa E due to some awful advice which I should have verified.
Anyhow, I intend to apply for a defacto visa with my Ozzy girlfriend. Would I stay on my bridging visa E whilst this is being processed? I am aware that there have to be mitigating circumstances for the defacto to be accepted from a bridging E.
My main concern is that currently I am awaiting an appeal to process- I think they will reject it but at the moment if I leave the country I won't be allowed back in. That's fine with me but I have an elderly grandma who I am very worried about. If she were to pass and I had to go home for a funeral I would be worried about not being allowed back into the country.
I will probably apply for the defacto soon which is why I ask if I will still be on BVE? If so will they take into consideration compassionate grounds and allow my re-entry into Oz if the worst was to happen?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
