that is very reassuring ! I have just under a year to go, and I will be taking a coffee there myself (although avoiding JB hifi unless I leave my purse at home:thumbsup:.

I have a daughter who came and 'cashed in' her RRV within the year allowed, but then she went back to the UK and will be back here before the two years are up. She hasn't spent the 180 odd days a year that you need to get your RRV converted to IRRV though.

Does anyone know if her coming and going will affect my chances of getting the IRRV? :confused:
