Because of hurdles in the USA mainly Adam Walsh Act we're considering applying to get my husband Residency in Australia instead. We think the road blocks here are more severe than trying to get him a Spouse Visa to live there with me, under compassionate grounds as I have elderly parents in Australia and would go back to care for them.

Does anyone know of any Australian Migration forums like this one they would recommend?

Thanks in Advance

Short outline: AWA affected our application 
2012 - married US Citizen from tourist visa (unplanned)

2013 - First application for AOS by marriage - with an attorney but not one with AWA experience

2013 - First NOID - Got Psych report and as much evidence as possible sent off

2015 - Denied

2015 - Reapply for AOS - same attorney but we are better versed this time 

2016 - NOID - new reports, fresh proof

2017 - Denied

2017 - Reapply 3rd time - yet more info provided

2018  - NOID - 3RD Psych assessment, at $3000 a pop

2021 - Denied

2021 - Reapply BUT with a change - we switch application from my husband as a sponsor to my eldest step-son and suddenly, no issues

2021 - RFE for Medical Exam only!
2024  Jan 13 - email from attorney to say we have finally been APPROVED

British Expats has a forum.
