Thanks for the reply, I believe that's the general interpretation of the law for PR granted after 2007.

Since my original PR was granted in 1999, I would like to know which date takes precedence. Because pre 2007 it was a 2 year requirement. 

Hi guys, I've got a question for you. I was initally granted my PR in 1999 but since I didn't live in Australia for the required time I was not granted an RRV.

I appealed this in 2019 and by the end 2019 I was granted my RRV. I moved to Australia in Sept 2020.

My question is, for my citizenship, is my PR considered from the the dat e of initial grant ( Nov 1999) or from the date of the RRV grant.

Thanks in advance.

Thanks all, appreciate the feedback.

Your question is not clear here - the effect of an 8503 condition will be to prohibit a further onshore application. It won't affect an offshore application,

I understand the 8503, my question was if we apply for a Visitor visa would that have any detrimental effect on the sponsorship application as a whole.

I'm just trying to find the quickest way of getting my family across.

How long is your RRV valid for?  

I have till 06/01/2021 

Hi all, so after my my resident visa lapsed in 2004 and after a successful appeal in 2019, i was granted a RRV Jan 2020 (Yay). 

I now have three children with my wife of 20 years, she was never a PR holder and therefore I need to sponsor her and our 3 kids.

Right now I know there the most probable wait time is approx.18 months for an offshore application. 

My question is if we apply for a subclass 600 Tourist stream Visitor visa and it is granted with the 8503 clause would that have any negative impact on the future family sponsorship. 

Thanks in advance
