A Lebanese father will need to leave his three children and wife behind in Australia in the next 24 hours because his migration agent allegedly didn't file his partner visa application.
Mohamed Barghachoun has been told by the Department of Home Affairs that he must leave the country by Saturday after spending the past four years living in Bexley, in Sydney's south.
Mr Barghachoun had left Lebanon to marry his Australian fiancée Jihan Merhi in 2019 and was in the process of applying for his partner visa.
The couple paid $1,500 for a migration agent to help with the process but have since learned no application has been lodged on the behalf of Mr Barghachoun.

'How is [Jihan] going to look after the three kids on her own?,' Mr Barghachoun told the ABC.
