hi Everyone,
I'm a husband and father of a gorgeous little boy. Unfortunately relations with his mother have gone sour. (She's having sex with multiple men, not caring for the child, etc etc.) Separation is imminent, but what holds me back is concerns about Immigration issues. Wife expects me to hang in there or at least not notify Immigration until she gets PR. We don't have an exact date on that, it could be a month or a year.
It would really help me if anyone help to answer these questions from experience?
1) Is there any way of knowing the current time frame for processing PR? The application was made around April 2015, and 309 issued in February 2016. She got an invitation to apply for PR about April 2017. At first we heard "another year" (April 2018) but now we heard it can be longer.
2) if a Sponsor writes/emails immigration to withdraw sponsorship for a spouse living in Australian on a 309 visa, what's the time delay between receipt of the email and the spouse getting 30 days' notice?
3) If there is a child of the relationship, but the Sponsor is the sole caregiver (spouse hasn't bonded with the child), how likely is the spouse to be given permission to stay? I had previously thought it was automatic - you have a child you get to stay. However I've since been told that that's no longer the case. Do you know of any cases of a mother without custody of the child being forced to leave the country? Given that there's not a Court order about custody, how do I *prove* that I have sole custody? Wife may sign some parenting agreement if that helps
4) If she can't stay in the country because of the child, she's indicated she would invent a story of abuse to stay. There hasn't been abuse, it's just a last ditch attempt to stay or to fling mud on the way out. Is there anything a sponsor can do to protect his good name? EG if both parties are in counselling, would a psychologist's assessment that there is no abuse (before official separation) help?
I'd be grateful to hear from anyone with relevant experience.
Thanks so much.
