Hello
My wife has just been successful in an AAT appeal and soon will have a Protection visa (subclass 866) visa (yay!)
I have a coupe of questions if anyone can help
1: She has a child of 7 in the country she came from and wants him to come over under the split family provision. I have read that we have to let the department know of this BEFORE her visa is actually granted (so fat its just AAT decision) How do we let the department know this by phone? email? is there a form?
2: She has been here on a bridging visa A for almost four years. WIll this count as a "valid visa" in relation to citizenship and the four year rule?
3: She is protected, not from the country but from certain people in the country and desperately wants to go and see her son, we can arrange it safely.
Would the department consider a safe short trip to see her son, who she has not seen for 4 years a compelling reason to allow a visit to that country if we were nowhere near the certain people?
It is a country in Asia, not a dangerous country but she was exposed to family violence and other stuff and that is why the AAT appeal said remit the departments original no decision
thanks in advance
