I've got nothing useful to add to what has already been said but I just wanted to say how sorry I am to read about this. How awful for you! As Pollyana said, it's what all of us who have been through the temp spouse visa situation dread happening, even in a strong relationship there is an underlying feeling of "what if...." I wish you all the very best and hope that life takes a turn for the better soon wherever your future lies. I'm not much of an online huggy person, but I'm sending them to you .... (((hugs)))

Can I approach immigration and inform them of what is going on or as sponsor does he have to do it? The situation is deteriorating on a daily basis. I've found out that there are drugs involved (which would explain why he is completely different) and i'm talking class A, very high quantities combined with dietary supplements etc the full works. He's a complete robot-not the person I knew in any way. He knows that i know everything and he is not communicating with anyone including his parents and family. Noone has heard from him and i need to get the ball rolling now. Once immigration is informed I believe i can put a case forward to stay? I'm under no illusion whatsoever that I will be able to but I want my one shot at this after coming so far.

Do you think its best I go to the immigration office and explain or contact them by phone?

Thanks

I really, strongly recommend you call a good migration agent. Immediately.
Not immigration.

I can recommend George Lombard in Sydney as one option - call 02 97990085. It's not an area I'm at all familiar with but you should at least explore whether the domestic violence concessions could apply to your situation.

You also should make sure you're not incriminated in any illegal activities and if you feel you're in danger you should find a refuge/shelter immediately. If you can't find one in the local phone book, the police might be able to help.

Just to reiterate what JAJ has said. DO NOT go anywhere near an immigration office, you might just get handed your 28 days to leave notice.

Seek professional help and take it from there.

You can contact DIAC yourself, but I strongly suggest that you don't until you have a plan in place. The important thing now is to buy yourself time
As JAJ says, talk to an agent FIRST just incase there is a way you can stay. If there IS a way George Lombard will find it. My info above originated from George and was given when a friend of mine had a similar split a couple of years ago.

<<hugs>>

I've sent you a PM.

Hi, its Jackie, Pompeyblonde, Im going to PM you

I can't offer anything further only to send you huge virtual hugs and thank goodness you're away from that really awful person! Karma will come back to bite him on the bum, but meanwhile, just you look after yourself! Keep the chin up! Jen xo

Thanks for all your messages of support. I've truly had the worst week of my life. I have contacted George Lombard and I have an appointment tomorrow. Thanks for all your advice and kind words.

Good luck

**** me!!! I am truly sorry for you , and not in a patronising sense. You were so positive when all meeting up last week and to hear all this I am completely dumbfounded that he could be so insensitive and cruel.
JAJ has the best advice so far, get a Migration agent on it and also ensure you have access to any evidence of illegal activities/substances, you may need that when providing mitigation to DIAC.
Apologies for my crass comment on the CBD Drinks thread earlier, I truly did not know.

Good luck.

George is a legend, if anyone can help then its him.

Keep us posted.

I second that, he is an absolute darling into the bargain, top bloke!
