What will ImmD make of an application to sponsor a dependant visa by a Hong Kong employment visa holding foreign national who doesn’t presently have a job here?
QUESTION
I am in between jobs (currently on an employment visa in Hong Kong) and plan to get married soon (outside HK).
I would like to arrange for my wife to be in Hong Kong post marriage.
As I understand the broad guidelines are to be able to provide for food and shelter.
Can you tell me if being in between jobs is considered to be a negative point when i apply for my wife’s dependent visa here?
Have/can such cases be rejected by the Hong Kong Immigration Department on the basis of being in between employment?
Thank you!
