Hello everyone,
Please bear with me, as this may be a long post.
My partner and I are looking to apply for a Partner Visa in about three months, but our situation is really out there and I'm dreading applying for it.
First problem:
We have no family. Literally. Neither of us. His mother died 4 years ago of cancer and his father died a year after. His sister does not speak to him. He has no other family.
My mother and father divorced when I was three and my father has been living in Austria since...forever. That's pretty much all I know about him. The man who raised me, my stepfather died in 2001. My mother died 6 years ago, also of cancer. I had an uncle, which was my mother's brother, and he died in August this year (medical negligence), ironically when I was visiting my partner in Australia. I've no siblings and no other family.
Obviously we have death certificates for all our family members (how depressing), but how are we going to provide pictures and family statements of our relationship when we have nobody? It's literally just us two. This rather tragic and depressing situation was one of the reasons we got talking and understood each other and well things went on from there...etc.
We have statements from his friends here in Oz, but that's all we can gather.
This brings us to problem number two:
He was to visit me in the UK in December and we were to stay there for about 4 or 5 months. He was to help me with moving my things around my house, emptying stuff so that I can rent it out and get some passive income as I normally do.
He did indeed come to the UK, except he got denied entry into the UK because the immigration officer thought he was going to work here. But then he allowed him into the country for a week, and in that week we arranged as much as we could and I returned to the Australia with him. Obviously this ruined all our plans and everything's gone kaput.
Will him being turned away at the UK border be an issue of any concern?
I'm on an eVisitor visa right now. I have a year, multiple entry that's ending August 16th this year, but I have to leave the country before March 13th as that would be three months for this visit. We will get married within the next month.
I'm considering going to New Zealand for a week then coming back and within the three months I have for this visit, we want to apply for the partner visa.
My question is: Does it look dodgy that I left for New Zealand for a week then came back?
I wanted to apply for a tourism stream (in australia) visa right now to be allowed to stay here for 6 consecutive months, but as I was filling in the form, I got a pop up message that said something along the lines of ''Elysia has a valid visitor visa, and if the new visa is granted this one will be cancelled. Check the visa conditions for the visa you're applying for to make sure that it is more beneficial than the visa you already have''. Or something along those lines.
I didn't proceed with the application and I'm considering visiting New Zealand instead then returning. My evisitor visa says I can enter Australia as many times as I want during the 12 months and stay up to three months, but how is this looked upon in practice?
Not trying to be dodgy, we just need more time - time which we didn't have because UK border patrol denied him entry.
Should we be mentioning all this in our application? We want to be transparent with everything, exactly as it happened, but would this be relevant to the immigration?
Sorry for the long post and thank you for reading it. I'd appreciate any advice you may give us.
