Thanks for the reply. It's beyond thinking, I have the visa and have a plane ticket for mid February. Too late to take a gamble on an RRV now really. On the bright side, I sold my condo right before the housing market started crashing here. If I waited years I'd have no financial cushion.

Very thankful to find this thread. I spent 3.5 years in Aus as a permanent resident from age 4-7, then moved back to North America where all my family is living. I successfully applied for a 461 (NZ spouse visa) after finding no evidence that I could get back in on PR. But because 461 is technically temporary (5 years), I could still maybe get an RRV? 461 is a pretty awful long term visa (no health care, no benefits/voting etc), despite being infinitely renewable. Can an RMA explain if I even need an RRV if I returned on another visa? Can't find any other situations like mine online.

Yeah I wish I could delete my previous replies in this topic, I misunderstood the context.

Click yes. You're one of those things. The use of "or" is key.

You're related by marriage. "Blood" means they're family from birth. I hope no one is having "blood" marriages in 2018.
