This is very complicated, my sister in auckland has been in a relationship with an Indian guy for over 2 years but he has breached the condition of his study visa.
He has been in auckland for 4 years and originally came to study. He also worked at a retail store and still does but when he was studying they asked him to work extra days and because he didn't want to disappoint his bosses always did it. This time when he has applied for his new visa this breach from years ago has come to light, it seems to have been missed in the past. Back then he worked about double the hours his visa entitled him to. He now is in a lot of trouble and struggling to get a new visa. he has a lawyer but from what i understand from my sister things aren't looking good. What are the chances of him getting a new work visa? I think at the moment he is writing a letter of apology and trying to get character references.
Second question: she has been looking at the temporary partnership visa. they don't know how long the process is going to take with the previous problem, if they moved in together now and his work visa ended up getting declined could they then apply for the partnership one? presuming it might take months so they could build a relationship history paperwork wise. or if any visa is declined does that mean you are deported with no other visa option?
To complicate matters further his family have an arranged marriage for him which wont take place for another 3 or 4 years. Apparently this was arranged well before he met my sister and is a huge bonus that the wife was supposed to come to auckland once the marriage takes place. his family dont know about my sister and he doesn't know what he will do when the time comes either as he wants to be with her but it will bring shame to his family if he doesnt go through with the marriage. so if they could go a head with the partnership visa then where would that leave the future wife if he decided to go down that track instead? because from what we can understand he would need to wait 5 years after being sponsored so how could she come here? or is that for the partnership resident only or the temporary partnership visa too? Unsure why that concerns my sister to be honest because that work in her favour but she is very distraught about this whole thing.
Any advice much appreciated, i hate seeing my beautiful sister so upset
