One of the British couple, who was facing deportation from Australia, had come to know the multiple sclerosis (MS), said that it is not fair that the life they created can be taken away from “any minute”.

Jessica Mathers, 30, and boyfriend Rob O’Lery had made their bid for permanent residence in 2023 due to the possible cost of health services treating their condition.

Since 2017, Sydney -living McClassfield project manager and DJ said the couple had been “living in a state of uncertainty for years” as they were waiting for the appeal result against the decision.

The Department of Australian Home Affairs has been contacted for the comment.

Ms. Mathers and Sri O’Lei, 31, from East London, met in the country in 2017 and have lived there since then.

He started a business in carpentry and construction trade three years ago, and said that the couple “made the most benefits of our life here”.

But in 2020, the diagnosis of Ms. Mathers’ Relapping-Removation variant of MS has led to a visa fight with officials that can be thrown out of the country.

According to NHS, symptoms for this form of MS are usually mild, but about half of cases can develop into more progressive form of the disease.

She has received treatment in Australia under a reciprocal health agreement with Britain and said that her situation has been “well managed” so far.

But the couple requests for permanent residence were rejected in 2023 due to its medical care costs.

Non-citizens entering Australia should meet certain health requirements, with the country’s publicly funded healthcare not “rising cost” for Medicare.

The couple filed an appeal with the Administrative Appeal Tribunal after visa rejection in 2023, and have been waiting for a result for the last two years.

Mr. O’Lery said that he had offered himself to pay medical costs or take private insurance, “but the law is black and white, and the refusal is based on it, it is really difficult for us”.

He has started an online petition to review his case and call for the immigration policies of Australia’s Home Affairs to call “individuals with well -managed health conditions”.

Mr. O’Leeri said that the couple were not asking for special treatment “but” a chance to work hard to contribute in a meaningful way in this country “.

He said: “We have always paid taxes, we have always worked, Jess has piled up charity work.”

Ms. Mathers said that the couple “did not know what to do” because they were waiting for the result of their appeal, which made it difficult for him to find anything other than temporary work.

He said: “It is held throughout our life, it is really upset.

“We know that we can deny the tribunal and then get 28 days to leave the country in any minute.

“We have got so much opportunity in Australia, and it would be very sad to walk away from it.”
