I had 4 months to go for my Permanent Visa and the G/F and I have
broken up -> I need find out what can be done with immigration , I
need to inform them and I need to know what the most likely consequence
will be when I do ?
I have been in Australia for almost 5 1/2 years first with a business
VISA for 4 years and then I went on to the defacto one

Please ... advise needed ... I am desperate her

Hi Lionel,

That's a very sad situation, and one that you'd need to see a migration agent to sort out. If you go to DIMA then they would probably try to persuade you to withdraw the permanent visa application and that would leave you with not only very few onshore options but also a limited timeframe for response. Even if there's a chance of going onto a 457 again you'll probably need to apply from offshore.

cheers,

Generally if the relationship has broken down then the application for PR can't be proceeded with.
There are exceptions, like cases of domestic violence. Might be as awell to speak to an agent first to review your options and find out the right way to present your case.

I could probably get my company to sponser me , as a last resort , I
did read something on IMMG website about getting pushed over to an
independendant Visa ... thus not waitng the full two years or did I not
understand it ? is that only in the case only in Domestic Violence ?
is Emmotinal Vilolence the same thing :0)?

Hi Lionel,

Try to maintain a little dignity, there's two sides to every story :-(. The three options apart from an offshore application are domestic violence, death of sponsor or child of the relationship. Best to talk to an agent, or, at the very least, your company.

Cheers,

George , since my life is going down the toilet > I am really trying
hard to maintain a sense of humour please do not take my last post the
wrong way...I am trying for a quick resolve for both parties concerned.

How about giving George a call at his office tomorrow? I really think you should get some professional advice on your options before you go to DIMA. Then they may be more willing to listen if they know you have options to put forward.
