Re: Burden on parents

@KS09

While my husband’s visa process was underway I stayed with my parents and worked. When he came to Aus, we stayed with my parents for 6 months until we had saved enough to buy a house. The way Australia’s rental market is, it was smarter to buy than to pay the same amount in rent. My parents didn’t mind, we contributed to household grocery and utilities bills.

The bold part makes your situation completely different that the girl OP met (and I commend you for choosing to work during that time). Unlike you, that girl is choosing to stay with her husband until his process is finished. She’s not going to stay with her parents and work/save $ while her husband’s visa issues are sorted out.

@spoko

She was living with her parents when she was here and instead of finding a job and saving up for when he comes here she decided to stay with him until his process is done and then both of them would come back and live with her parents until they find a job and are financially stable to move out.
