I applied for a working holiday visa a month ago and they sent me an email requesting further info about a driving offence I have. Unfortunately I didn't read the email in time and they declined my visa. My flights are booked for Monday and are not refundable!
When I spoke to immigration they said I have 2 options:
1) reapply and wait in the UK until its approved, having to rebook my flight
Or
2) come in on a tourist visa and apply when I'm here

I reapplied on Friday, but what I am thinking of doing is flying out on Monday and coming in on a visitor visa and waiting for my application to be approved.
Only problem is I don't have an onward flight. Would a flight to Australia in 1 month suffice?

Has anyone got any advise or been in this situation?

FYI I am a uk resident with 5 years on my passport and sufficient funds
