A Scottish family who faced being booted out of Australia despite living there for more than 10 years are over the moon after being told they can stay. Mark Green, his wife, Kelly, and their daughter, Rebecca, moved from Prestwick, Ayrshire, to Adelaide in 2012.
Electrician Mark was headhunted by a solar power company that offered to sponsor his Visa. The hardworking family have spent the last decade building a life for themselves down under and were "absolutely gutted" when the Australian Government told them they had to reapply for residency after the company sponsoring Mark's working Visa went bust.
Mark was sponsored by a total of seven companies who all went bust and each time the family had to reapply for Visas. Back in August, the Australian Government ordered them on a 10am flight back to Scotland.
