Thanks Snifter. We will be transferring funds and shipping stuff back to Australia so we''ll be sure to document these, in addition to keeping emails/text messages etc.

Hi guys. been searching in vain for clear info on this question. OK: Wife was granted a 309 visa (I'm her Aussie sponsor). We arrived in Australia in time for the "must enter Australia before..." requirement and spent two weeks together here. We have both have returned O/S to pack, sell things etc before our permanent arrival in Oz. I will be returning in January 2018. However, my wife must stay another 4 months due to work commitments. The question is: will this 4 months apart jeopardise her chances of getting permanent residency, or is this time short enough so as to be insignificant? Been hearing conflicting opinions. Any help at all will be greatly appreciated.
