A despairing Scottish family is being kicked out of Australia after 10 years in a heartbreaking visa row – after the company sponsoring their stay went bust.
Electrical expert Mark Green, 44, was headhunted for his specialist solar installation skills in 2012 and flown to Australia with his wife Kelly, 45, and daughter Rebecca, 19.
He moved 10,000 miles from Prestwick, Ayrshire, to his new home in Adelaide, on Australia’s southern coast, with the promise of their permanent residency being sponsored by the company flying him in.
But every time he’s been eligible, the employers have folded before the paperwork could be completed – and it’s now happened seven times to the devastated family.
