Statement by Benjamin Alvarez in support of Heili Tang (Hayley).
To whom it may concern:
My name is Benjamin Alvarez, I was the (only) brother of the late Jose Alvarez Junior who passed away on February 24, 2017 (age 48). Prior to my brother’s passing away, I had noticed he had gotten involved in a romantic relationship with a partner for the first time in his life. I first noticed this around 2014 when Ms. Tang was visiting my (45 year old) brother (from mainland China). My brother resided in western Sydney the entirety of his life (apart from a few brief holidays). At the time (approx. 2014) I did not make Ms Tang’s acquaintance nor talk to my brother as we were not on speaking terms (at this time, from around 2014 to early 2017). However, immediately before Ms Tang relocated to Australia with her two teenage boys, to take up her residence with my brother (in early 2017), somehow my brother and I ended up mending fences and got back on speaking terms. This was shortly before he suicided in late February, 2017. I would not overly doubt (knowing my brother as I do) he was already considering suiciding while at the same time supporting Ms Tang in her endeavour to migrate to Australia permanently with her two sons, dangling the hope of marriage and a kind of bestowing of title of permanent residency to her by virtue thereof, something she has had her heart set on the entire time.
I know for a fact and have documentation to prove that my brother helped Hayley complete her visa application paperwork and that she was requested by the relevant Australian government department to carry out some genetic tests on her two sons to prove they are both her genetic issue. I also know that my brother was as helpful as could be to bring Hayley and her two sons out to Australia. I also affirm he was relatively unemployed at the time (part time employed), had next to no savings, was dependent on his mother or Hayley for material advancement. Hayley has been paying her own bills for visas and lawyers and the like and has received next to no money, or no money from my brother while he was alive. My brother was working in a part-time, unpaid way, for the Labor Party (national political party) at the time of his passing and the memorial service we held for him was attended by sitting federal parliamentarian, Ed Husic, who could also be contacted for more details or witness as to the veracity of my statements.
Since my brother passed away, Hayley has been supported by various members of my brother’s church, mostly in a moral, emotional way, although she has also received some limited financial support also. In the main, she has been funding her own expenses through support she receives from back home in mainland China.
It is clear to me, that unlike some immigrants from mainland China I have met that have absolutely no interest in staying in Australia but wish to return to China due to the life and opportunities available to them there (i.e., very wealthy young university students), that Hayley perhaps, really does wish to stay in Australia with a permanent residency status and avoid paying continual lump sums out to unscrupulous immigration lawyers (and ethical ones) and the department of immigration (expensive!).
Prior to this statement, I did sign off on one letter for the Minister for Immigration, at the time, Peter Dutton. However I heard nothing back from the Department about it nor Mr Dutton. I am not overly fond of left wing politics like Ed Husic’s (aforementioned). But neither do I approve of various aspects of Australia’s immigration system, like bleeding money out of people like Hayley (excessively) and spending millions and billions of lucrative contracts for private security companies (crony politics) to run basically empty detention camps. I consider this to be a sign of backwardness, however it is not within the scope of this statement to enter into political discussions.
From what I understand about Hayley, given I have not paid a private investigator to follow her around all day, she is a hard working woman and very intrepid, taking care of her two teenage boys and pursuing their education in the English language in Australia, while busily working hard and advancing herself in the English language. She does not seem to be a leaner, but a lifter, to use a popular expression. I think if given the opportunity she could make a worthwhile contribution to Australian society in terms of dutifully paying taxes and staying on the right side of the law. I would say the same for her two sons also, should they wish to stay in Australia long term.
I understand from her she recently feels like she has been jilted out of eight thousand dollars by an unscrupulous immigration lawyer and that she is unlikely to understand her rights to have such a lawyer reported to the relevant legal overseer for this kind of problem. If your agency can provide me with those details I would be happy to pursue that matter on her behalf. Similarly I am happy to act as her advocate and adviser and I encourage your agency or any other that may deal with her matters to keep me informed (in the loop) by emailing me at: Benjamin.alvarez81@gmail.com so that I can act on her behalf.
I would be happy to appear in person for her at any administrative meeting and to provide supporting documentation on her behalf, again, by being contacted at aforementioned email address.
Truthfully,
Benjamin Alvarez
