Until he loses , Then they will ask for his green card , declare him illigal and kick him out ,,, Australia will take him then , nothing like being a succesful sportsman to get Aussie citezenship quickly ,,, Only thing gets it quicker here is being a fully fledged New Zealand , actor / pop star :TU:

Anyone under 40 I believe can apply to live in Aus if you can prove you are going over there positively for the country. You have enough money to live on and not taking out of their system but adding to it.

I knew someone who emigrated to Aus, I’ve lost contact with them now but they didn’t have a trade or money, think he got in because his girlfriend had one of the skills they were after. That was quite a few years ago though, might’ve changed since then.
