bmorrison Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 Hi all Little background: I have been granted Permanent Residency (visa subclass 190 - Skilled Nominated) back in Feb/2014. For a few reasons, I have not made my permanent move to Australia yet, and I may not be able to do so before my visa expires, in Feb/2019. If that happens, I do not have anything that the DIBP would consider "compelling and compassionate reasons" for being outside Australia, in order to be awarded an RRV visa 157. So I am wondering if I would be able to demonstrate ties to Australia that would justify an RRV visa 155, which in this case would be the fact that both of my brothers are permanent residents and currently live in Australia. Would this suffice as a tie to the country? I know that this is one kind of acceptable tie, but I am guessing that I would need more than that? Just thought I'd check. Thanks in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skippy1 Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 Is it possible you may have any medical, work related, professional, personal reasons why you could not travel. Brothers will also help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ali Posted March 25, 2016 Share Posted March 25, 2016 If you have visited your brothers/Aus in that time it may help support the substantive ties to the relationship. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
