Thank you, Paul! It is a complex situation but I would be ok if I have to wait a year to come back. I don't mind. I am just trying to gather information to feel secure before taking any decision. I overheard that people are being granted 1-year BVB. I think in one year it would be possible to come back to Australia. Maybe someone in this forum has been gone through BVB after covid

I am seeking advice on bridging visa B. At the moment I am on a BVA waiting for the final decision on my 491 visa application. I have been waiting almost a year now. I am originally from Brazil and my mother is going through a difficult situation and soon will need to go under a surgery that will let her unable to walk for a while so she needs assistance. I would like to go there and assist her. I know that it has a chance of not being able to come back to Australia any time soon, who knows... maybe next year. I am also not confident that my visa will be granted any time soon as my profession is not on the high demand list. I overheard that some people got BVB approved for 1 year... I am considering applying but still not sure if it can affect my visa application somehow. Could you guys advise on this matter? Also, another concern of mine is if they give me a one-year BVB and by this time the travel has not been lifted how I would have to deal with the situation? Or would they give me 3 months BVB with the current situation?

Hi Abster! I am so happy to find it here! I am chasing my permanent residence in Australia under this profession: conference and events organiser. I am about to start the process with vetasses. I would suggest you to look at Tasmania in order to find the state nomination. I also would love to keep chatting with you so we may exchange information during the process! Cheers! Flavia
