Thanks @paulhand I read it on one of the forums. I suppose as long as one satisfies the condition it should not be an issue.

Thank you @Marisawright Sorry- I overlooked Pauls message! Noted that it will be 5 years from date it is granted. So that would be additional 2 years to current visa expiry on Feb 2025.

@rammygirl @Marisawright @paulhand Thank you for your comment. May I ask for some further clarification. My current RRV is issued on 5th Feb 2020 and next application date lets say is 31st Dec 2022. In that case, the new 5 year term will be 5 year from 31st Dec 2022. Is my understanding correct? I heard that if the government stopped granting 5 years RRV for applicants who are overseas>=? Many thanks in advance.

Hello Forum Members I would appreciate if someone can throw light on my situation. I already have a 155 RRV that expires on 5th Feb2025. I am currently in Japan and would like to extend the time further if I satisfy the conditions. Below are movement days as per record and I have lived in Australia for total 741 days since my first entry on 31/12/2017. Is my understanding correct that 31/12/2022 would be the last qualifying date to re-apply for 155 RRV to have a further 5 year extension? Thank you in advance.

Thanks for the quick update Paul. I appreciate it. I intend to extend the validity of my RRV as much as possible. If you can advise on how the dates are calculated and if there are any factors that could possibly prevent me from getting extension would be highly helpful. Thanks alot in advance.

Hello Forum Members I hope you are doing fine. I would really appreciate if you can advise me on the below query for RRV. - I was granted 190 class PR while I was overseas in the year 2014 - I moved to Australia in 2018 and lived there from Jan 1st 2018 till Feb 5th,2020 with few days overseas between this duration. - I had applied subclass 155 visa on 28th December 2018 and was granted a 1 year RRV expiring on 28th December 2019 - I had applied for subclass 155 visa and on 1st Feb 2020 and was rejected as I did not finish exact 730 days in Australia. - However, I had re-applied on Feb,5th 2020 and was granted subclass 155 RRV visa expiring on 2 Feb 2025. I am currently overseas from march 2020 and I have not been able to come back due to COVID and other personal circumstances, However, I believe I still satisfy the 730 days in 5 years rule. Is it possible for me to reapply for subclass 155 in order to maximise the duration of visa(i.e from feb 2025 to feb 2026 or later)? Thanks and Best Regards Manish

Dear Lovely Fellow Members, I am a Mechanical Engineer who has migrated to Australia from Japan 4 months back. I am currently looking for work and find it very difficult. Somehow, I did get invited for interview at couple of places but after a few interviews I get rejected due to lack of local experience or very specific requirements of employers. so I am thinking of changing career to being a tradie/sparky. May be the tradie work such as fitter/electrician/plumber might be more stable and has a future here in Australia. I see that a lot of engineering work is unstable, gets outsourced and there is a huge supply of engineers here in Australia. I guess tradie work is always going to stay and can’t be outsourced to India/China so might be good in long term. Would you mind sharing your opinion and how to get in this field? Below are some specific questions 1. For a Mechanical Engineer which would be better field from employment perspective? I feel like HVAC/Refrigeration is very much in demand these days. 2. What is the process to be a tradie/sparky? 3. One of the electrical contractors has shown interest to provide me with pre-apprenticeship. Is it worth it? What would be a good way for me to move ahead? I will really appreciate if you can throw some light on my queries.

Hi Everyone, Due to some reasons i want to upload only the final degree award with my application but i see that many of the members are uploading the academic transcripts as well. The booklet six says : For you to receive these points,a certified copy of your qualifications and or/a certified copy of a notification of your results and a transcript of your academic record (degree,certificate,diploma etc) should be included with your application. Kindly suggest if it would be alright to skip the transcripts. Thanks alot in advance.

Hi Joanna, Thanks for your valuable posts in the forum.Would be glad if you can help me with this. By the way i have 2.8 years of experience and obviously i have not claimed any points in the EOI. In the visa application i still have to state 2.8 years experience along with dates. However, for this question,i should select NO right?:- Has the applicant been employed overseas in their nominated occupation or a closely related occupation at a skilled level immediately before lodging this application? Under this question,if yes is selected there are 3 options 3,5,10 years. I should select NO in this case right? Your opinion would be really helpful. Thanks in advance, Manish

Hi guys, Please help.i received my letter of positive assesment from EA.i want to lodge EOI now but i can only see my ref contact id on letter.please advise what data is needed in EOI Thanks in advance

Hello Everyone, I am filling up my EOI and concerned with few questions regarding education. 1.I am suppose to even mention my high school qualification? 2. I hold a diploma and bachelors in Mechanical Engineering Course.Usually a bachelors of Engineering course if of 4 years,because i hold a diploma i got a lateral entry in to second year so it became 3 years for me.So should i mention only bachelors in EOI or both as my bachelors became short because of diploma? Kindly advise thanks in advance.

Hi Bro, So finally what happened about your medicals? Good Luck.

Hi Ali, Thanks alot for the info bro.It was definitely helpful.Would appreciate if you can answer undermentioned questions from your experience. 1.Is the medical report supposed to provided only if requested by the doctor? 2.Could you please provide some more details points which needs to be focussed.I have informed my doc that a report of investigation,prognosis,etc is needed.He has finally agreed and asked me to provide him with structure and theme focus of letter suitable to clear immigration rules. Hence would be grateful if you can provide some more details about the same. Thanks and Regards
