Australian migration legislation is complex. If you are planning to migrate, it is important to seek proper advice before making any decisions. Our senior Registered Migration Agent, Rosemary Acutt, recently spoke to a reporter with SBS about a case involving a 12-year-old child who is risking deportation over an adoption issue in circumstances where the parents purported to adopt a child from overseas without first taking legal advice. The resulting complications in trying to obtain a visa for the child in the absence of a valid overseas adoption have been heartbreaking for the family and child involved. It pays to seek advice from a professional before making important life decisions. If you need a visa, we can help.
Allysha was informally adopted from The Philippines when she was born. Now, at 12 years of age, she risks deportation when her student visa expires next month.
