Re: Spouse visa question - 10 years on

There is never a guarantee, but what you said was incorrect. You said "the only option would be a new spouse visa - expensive". This is not the case as the OP has a pretty good chance of getting an...

Re: Spouse visa question - 10 years on

This is not actually the case. RRVs are available to former permanent residents as well as current ones. The eligibility criteria are basically the same i.e. demonstrating ties, which the OP clearly...

Re: RRV or ETA

Hi - as you haven't been, and won't be, away from Aus for a "continuous period of 5 years" the compelling reasons part doesn't apply to your situation, only the substantial ties part.

It's...

Re: RRV or ETA

What you actually said was "thus removing any chance of holding a future RRV." which is the bit that is not correct and what I was pointing out. I do agree though that it would help to speak to an...

Re: RRV or ETA

Actually this is not the case. RRVs are available to former permanent residents as well as current ones, so there's nothing to "overturn" and not being a current PR does not "remove any future chance...

Non Contributory Visa Sub class 804

Re: Non Contributory Visa Sub class 804

But according to the OP they have rocked up and are allowed to stay for the 14 years until their visa is decided. So basically it seems that they have a 14 year temporary visa. Sure, they are not...

Re: FA 600 Visa Situation

That's actually not what the visa grant cut and paste the OP put in his post says. The original visa was:

Re: Expired (April 2015) Class 175 Visa. Out of options?

I can only tell you my personal experience that I recently got a new one year RRV after being out of the country for 8.5 years. No job offer, no close family ties and no current property, but long...
