Thank you Verystormy. Is it a case of just filling in a form amd will we need to prove the reason why we didn't take up the visa (which was due to my Dad's illness)? Are the RRV's valid for 12 months?

Hi. I was wondering if somebody could help us please. Our Skilled Independent Visa Subclass 175, expired in November 2015, before we made the move to Oz (due to family reasons). We have been advised that the only way we can still make the move is to apply for a Returning Residents Visa. To do this my husband will require a job offer. Apparently this needs to be a full time and permanent (to satisfy immigration), although he doesn't necessarily have to take up the position once he arrives! Can anybody help us please? We are a desperate 51 year old couple. My husband is a fully qualified plumbing and heating engineer in the UK. Many thanks.

Hi. We were awarded a 175 visa in November 2010, but due to family illness we were unable to make the move to Oz. We now are in a position to go, but our visa has expired We have been advised that we could try and obtain a Returning Residents Visa, but my husband would need a job offer. He is a fully qualified Plumbing/Heating Engineer in the UK. Any help on trying to secure an Australian job offer, whilst still being the the UK, would be greatly appreciated. The Brisbane area is where we would ideally like to be. Many thanks.
