no it didnt work for me
My visa expired before the new 2 year one came in.
That was in 2008 and i still dont have PR.
Been married a year and have 4 kids together.
DONT let him overstay!
Good luck
I was in the same whole.
you need to start applying for a one year ext on his working visa.
Bunac now do a 2 year visa.
Why dont you get married now? its only about a $100. Then you can have your big day next year.
