Hi there I am new to PIO and forums in general so please bare with me if I make a mistake I am an only human and a bit long in the tooth but my granddaughter is teaching me. Where do I start..... I was a £10 pom in the 70's, arrived with my then husband and stayed 5 years (1971-76). We returned to the UK due to homesickness. More than anything I would now love to go back. I don't believe that my Visa was cancelled and we returned before passports where stamped with a right to return. Can anyone help me with how I would go about returning? 1 of my 2 brothers is currently in WA on a 457 in the process of obtaining permanent residency the other i have had no contact with for over 15 years. My only daughter has a student visa to complete her degree course in Australia and my only 2 grandchildren are dependents on her visa so I have no family left in the UK. I have looked at the RRV but the way I am reading it it is more about the length of time you have to return. When we left these things were not around. I do not have the original passport I travelled on as it was a joint passport. I do have the passport number, the original passenger entry card issued on arrival into Australia stating permanent residency and a copy of the electoral roll for WA confirming my address. If there is anyway I can return for a few years to spend time with my family over there that would be great and for anyone who takes the time to be reading this thank you and apologies for the length. Also if you happen to be in Perth has Girrawheen changed much in 35 years?
