I am an Australian Permanent Resident.2 years back, because of my mothers very serious medical conditions,I had to move to America. Now her kidneys are in terminal stage.I was granted my Australian PR in MAR 2009.I so much want to maintain my Australian PR but I am running short of 4 months out of 2 years ( a requirement to meet that you have to have lived in Australia for at least 2 years out of 5 years)I still have my Australian Permanent Visa which will expire in March 2014. Seeing my current family circumstances, I dont see,its very likely that I would be able to go back to Australia and complete my 2 years requirement to be granted with Resident Return Visa.I need your kind guidance for my current situation. Is it possible for Australian Govt to grant me Resident Return Visa in case I dont meet 2 years requirement.. Australia is more than my home. I cant live without Australia. Australia is my very own land. Please tell me what can I do in my current situation. I still have my bank account running in Australia with a modest amount $15000.Soon I will send more amount in my account. I don't have any other ties with AUstralia but very close Australian friends.I had visited Australia in AUG 2012 again for one week. I came to know that in certain circumstances, one can be granted a one year RRV. Could anyone please tell me what are the conditions to validate this visa? What can be considered as a compelling situation and strong ties. Can I apply RRV offshore? Is it possible to get a 5 years RRV if you have a compelling reason and haven't completed 2 out of 5 years?
