Urgent Issue | Bridging Visa E & applying for Remaining Relative 835

4643 Views 14 Replies 4 Participants Last post by  ampk
Up until last Saturday I was on a 457 with an approved nomination for the 186(TRS), I unfortunately and tragically did not realise the 457 had expired till this past Monday, so I've lost the 186 visa, I feel like such a fool.

Worst yet, my employer let their sponsorship lapse and they're waiting for the application to be finalized. Else we'd apply for the 186DE. I am a web developer with 6 years experience.

I presented myself to Home Affairs that Tuesday and was issued a Bridging Visa E with condition 85012, Depart Australia on specified date. That date is the 13th March. On the positive side of that, I was unlawful for only 2 days but that doesn't seem to count for much. Neither does my history in Australia it seems.

I have lived in Australia for 9 years, my Bachelor's degree was done here and all my relatives are Australian citizens residing here. I've never been back to SA either, my life is here.

The real issue I have is that I have a 2 year old daughter who is Australian by birth. I separated from her father beginning of Jan and we have a signed parenting plan stating I am the principal carer.

I want to apply for the 835 remaining relative but want to know if anybody has done that recently? Also, how can I get that condition removed ASAP.

I have a sponsor, I fit the criteria of the visa as stated in the migration act of 1994, I just want to make sure I'm doing the right thing because I don't have a lot of time and I'm terrified of being away from my girl and going to a country I no longer have support or family ties to.

This sounds like something you should speak to a RMA about, not the general public. May I suggest looking through the "sticky" thread at the top of the forum and selecting one of the qualified RMA's to help you?
First off, thank you for taking the time to respond, and I will be reposting this to an rma thread ASAP. I just feel like it's hopeless, every day that goes by is a day closer to my worst fear which is being seperated from my family andreturned to a country I have nothing left in.
I would suggest you should contact an RMA by email and tell them your situation in detail and pay for a consultation. This sounds quite tricky and would be best left off a public forum.

Good luck.
