bit of a tough one
Im divorced from my wife and moved back to the UK, long story she wasn't very pleasent to me. Anyway it looks like she is seriously ill so Im going to have to move back to Australia to take care of my son. My question is I am in a new relationship, we were about to move in together now, and thats kind of off now as I will have to rush back to take care of my son.
What kind of visa will I need for my girlfriend. We havent lived together yet and have been together for about a year. I was thinking Id go over first to take care of my son as hes my main concern. I was thinking worst comes to worse she could always get a work visa for a year, she also has a masters in forensic science and a bacholors in biomedical science.
I dont know if we will stay living in australia anyway. My ex was a bit of a nightmare, hence the need to move to the UK.

Some clever people will be along shortly with visa advice
Whatever happens, I wish you the best of luck.

Keith, I hope I don't come across as a suspicious old cow but your story is similar in some ways to a couple I know and I just wanted to ask if you're sure that your ex is actually ill. The reason I mention it is that the ex in the couple I know told her husband exactly the same thing, and he dropped everything to be with his kids (all credit to him), only to find that she wasn't sick at all, just wanted to make it hard for him in his new relationship. Please ignore me totally if this isn't relevant to your situation!

Shes burned all her bridges so she has nobody and she wouldnt let me bring him here. Im trying to get some kind of confirmation rather than rushing out there.

The thing is, Leukaemia is a very treatable disease, depending on the type and stage, with proper treatment you are looking at a survival time of years, so don't throw your new life away because of a panic.

She will not qualify on de facto grounds as you haven't lived together; you'd need to either look at marrying and getting a Spouse Visa, or a Prospective Marriage Visa which means marrying within 9 months of grant.

Re: bit of a tough one
I was hoping there might be some kind of extenuating circumstances as the only reason Im going back to live in australia is for my sons sake. My partner is under 30. I dont know how long we would stay. I'm thinking of whats best for him as hes australian hoping the immigration wont make me jump through too many hoops, and Im a perm resident.

You need to either go without her, get married, plan to get married or she needs to find her own work related visa. But firstly, you need to validate the story, it does sound like it could be fishy, especially as you embark on a new life..why not tell her she needs to move back to UK if she really needs your help.

Ok here goes, broke up with aussie wife last year, went back to the uk, after a while we both realized we'd made a mistake. Been trying to work out ways for me to come back and its been over a year. She first of all bought me a one way ticket, I bottled it, changed the date then never got on the flight so she lost 1300 dollers.
So then I bought a return ticket and bottled it at the last minute, 1000 pounds down the drain. Apart from a kick up the ass and a lobotomy will the immigration when I return think I am a little odd wasting airline tickets or does that kind of thing not bother them.

Whichever one it is, perhaps you could correct the appropriate thread, it's annoying when people go out of their way to give help and advice to something which is no longer applicable..

Re: bit of a tough one
Based on both that thread and this one, I think you first need to decide if you would prefer to stay with your girlfriend, or end that and try to get back together with your ex-wife. If you decide to remain with your girlfriend, then I'd suggest looking into a definite visa option for her (e.g. are you serious, is she a marriage prospect?).
