Re: RRV
OK, never heard of that one. Presumably the job offer is not one that could be a sponsored visa job?

No don't think so, as I said chances are slim which is why we are only putting through an application for my wife

Re: RRV
I have seen RRVs being granted when it appears on paper that it should not be, so I think it could go either way to be honest. Now I am confused about your timeline though, you left in 2009, but when did the visa expire? Just curious really, but the more recently it expired, the better your chances I think.

Re: RRV
sorry for late reply, we got our visa in 2006, and we moved to Brisbane 9th Nov 2006. We came back to Scotland February 2009.

Re: RRV
No probs, I think what is confusing me is how long the travel part of the visa was valid for i.e. what was the last date of entry to Australia? You got the visa in 2006 but it expired this year 2014 which means it was valid for 8 years? Is that right? I was working on the assumption it would be 5 years like the 175.

we have been back in the UK 5 years 9 months.
so we are basically 9 months out which is why we are not holding our breath

Re: RRV
Sorry, that doesn't help you, but perhaps your agent is not really explaining it very well.

Re: RRV
You earlier said your visa expired in February? But if you got it in 2006, it would have expired in 2011 and then if you got another one at that point, it will not expire until 2016.
It is a little bit tricky to comment on this thread when you are being so unclear around dates ... did you get a 5 year RRV as you left Australia in 2009?
