Hi all,
I have been following this thread for a while now it's time to jump in
My timeline is:
Direct Entry
Nomination lodged: 22-09-2015| Status: waiting
Visa application lodged: 25-09-2015| Status waiting
Country: LR
I was hoping having my PR granted way before March (= 6 months) but it looks like it's now a bit too ambitious...
I am going overseas from the 18th of March 2016 and I might not have my PR by then considering also that if I need a Bridging Visa B I need to apply for it at least 2 weeks before the date of travel so before the 4th of March.
I am a bit confused because when I applied for my PR in Sep 2015 I was still under my 457 visa which ends in Dec 2017 but I still received a Bridging Visa A.
Does that mean that I am no longer on my 457 visa and only on my bridging visa A? If so I will need a bridging B for my trip but if I understood well and if I am still on my 457 which hasn't expired, I can leave the country and come back without telling anyone.
Does anyone can help me with that?
Cheers
