Resident Return Visa Help
I have been granted Australian Residency in Sep 2009. Total I have been in Australia for 9 months ..
2 months in 2010
7 months in 2013
Now again i ll be going to Australia by the end of december 2013. My Visa expires in sep 2014.
If I am applying in august 2014 it will be 17 months stay in OZ land. Will I get 5 years RRV or I have to apply for 1 year RRV?
I can provide my parents medical records as it was the main reason I was not able to stay in Australia for required 2 years. I am the only son.
I have worked as IT contractor for 2 weeks. I have my pay slip. Will it help my application?
Kindly Advice
Thanks.

Re: Resident Return Visa Help
1 year.
The reasons for your absence don't matter in determining whether you get 1 or 5 years. 5 years is only for those who have been present in Australia for 730 days in the 5 years prior to applying.
Assuming you stay in Australia after August 2014 and get a 1 year RRV then, you will be entitled to a 5 year RRV after your 1 year one runs out. And then citizenship seven months or so later.
