Following more than a decade of living in Queensland and a complex visa battle, Reyna Nangan’s family has been granted permanent residency by the Immigration Minister.
Key Points
- Reyna Nangan, his husband Karin, and daughter Kaia expressed immense gratitude to the Toowoomba community and local leaders who supported them and signed a petition advocating for their stay.
- The family's visa issues arose after a former employer failed to fulfill a sponsorship agreement, leading to a complicated bureaucratic process and a prior denial of ministerial intervention.
- Despite past setbacks, Reyna's second request for reconsideration was successful, allowing the family to finally look forward to a secure future in Australia.
It’s never easy, but we did make it to a point where we wanted to be more optimistic about this journey and keep our hopes high. And then again, we never did it alone.Reyna Nangan
