It's with great joy that I am able to report an update, and the good news that I was finally granted my RRV 155 to return back to Australia, (Sept 11)  It's been a long wait, 120 days or 17 weeks depending on how you look at it.  I take back all the bad things I may have said about the immigration folk, the bad thoughts and words, all the names I called them, and all the infestations I wished upon them.   Their lovely people really and for sure I was provoked into such words to be sure.  

May I thank all you guys who commented or showed an interest in this post, and all comments were noted.  It is always good to share a problem, a worry or concern and I thank you sincerely for your help.  It is a true saying, "Patience is Bitter but it's fruits are Sweet" and I really feel that today with the relief of getting my RRV.  So I am heading off soon and will be happy to join in more on this forum when I am in Perth, and of course to seek advice on Life Down Under.  Looking forward to it,  -  Onward and Upward.  

Best wishes to all, and have a blessed day.

Hi Tom, just checking, you lodged your visa in Australia, flew out and received the decision while you were offshore? (which took 120 days?)

Hi, my parents applied for their RRV 155 about 3 weeks ago. They have not completed the continuous stay of 2 years in Australia and need to go to their home country to check on some matters there. Their existing RRV application was expired a few days ago. Can anyone advise me, if they leave australia pending an outcome of the visa, would there be an effect on the decision. Would they have to reapply as offshore applicants? The estimated time for the decision is 72 days. Some feedback would be appreciated. Thanks
