Many thanks for your help!

I lived in WA for 3 years and have been back in the UK for over a year as my Dad is poorly. I have just been granted PR which I applied for off shore. The visa conditions state that to activate the residency I need to re-enter Australia before 3rd November 2015. My question is do I have to stay for a certain period of time or could I stay for three weeks or so and still retain my residency for the full four years?? Many thanks in advance :smile:

Many thanks for the advice. I might sit tight and wait for my PR to come through :wink:

That's what I wondered. I was going to come back in January but I don't think I would be let in on a bridging visa even if I did get one!

Can it be lodged without the results of the medical??

Hi there just a quick question. How long does it take for PR to granted if you are being sponsored by the company you work for. We have 457's that are due to run out in January and have submitted everything and are currently waiting for a date for our medicals. Will they push it through if our visas are going to expire?? many thanks in advance.

Thank you for your help. My partner and I are still very much together although it's been a rough ride. I have been back a year this month as we were told last October that my Dad had less than a year to live. I couldn't leave him as I was fearing the worst. Our migration agent doesn't seem to think it will bea problem getting the PR but I'm getting really concerned. Everything has been submitted and I am waiting to hear about the medical

Hi all, I'm sure this question has been asked many times but things may have changed. My De Facto partner and I have been living in Australia for nearly 4 years and our 457 is going to run out in January. His company are sponsoring us for our PR which is being processed at the moment. I am having to apply off shore as I'm in the UK with my Dad who is very poorly. My question is if my residency is approved through his company once I have it can it be withdrawn if we separate? Also what are the rules of being in the UK whilst I have residency for Australia. I have to be with my family right now but can it be withdrawn if I spend a certain amount of time off shore?? Many thanks in advance. I love this forum, so helpful!
