Thanks so much for the information. What is an ETA btw?
My PR was originally granted in 2012 however I was back for 10 days on 2014. This seems as if I have 5 years to get a RRV from last year as a former permanent resident. However you can't apply to sponsor spouse etc as a former resident.
If my partner gets her divorce money through then we can easily afford to apply in November and that's the perfect scenario. However I can't see that happening.
Does anyone know what evidence you need to supply for a 16 year old from the UK? Is it just a letter from a lawyer or do you have to go to court?
Thanks again but it's looking more and more likely that without getting the money we won't be able to do this.
The only other thing I could think of was I fly back before my visa expires and apply for my partner and the girls while they are in the UK ? Can this be done ? I was thinking they could come over on 3 month holiday visas while the applications were being processed but they would need to offshore if they were granted.
