Thanks Ken for your response, most appreciated. JP

Good day all, We have just lodged a family visa offshore in Singapore and now about to do the medical, then the wait begins. But for the medical as I understand it, a hearing test is done, from experience is this a full auditory exam (in one of those booths wearing a headset, pressing the button when you hear the sounds) or just a physical check in the ears etc. My wife has weak hearing in one ear and she is a little worried about it, so just be nice to know what to expect from other peoples experiences. Many thanks, JP

Appreciate the above, will be in touch if needed. I know it appears less than optimal but given the family situation not sure if there'd be truly another option. I don't have the ability to leave them where we currently live and then for me to travel and then get them down on a partner/dependent route.

Thanks again, the company concerned would use their agent, very large MNC. Just wanted to know if the TSS route was a possibility given the circumstances.

Dear Paul, thanks for that, yes would have thought that would be the best if it was just me. Forgot to clarify that my wife and step-daughter were not part of that original PR application, so the RRV would only be for me and they would be left essentially homeless as we work in a second country where I am already their sponsor for a work permit. So unless we can move together it will not be viable to head to Australia.

Good day all, New to the forum and wish to go straight to a question. I am a former Permanent Resident and my RRV has expired and I do not currently meet the sufficient ties tests to renew it, although I have not tested this by making an application. But recently a company has approached me and tentatively suggested that there may be a job in the offering back in Australia and I would be very keen to move back and bring my family with me now. My question, would the company be able to apply for a TSS visa for me and my family given that I am a former Australian resident (would this previous visa and then potential ability to apply for an RRV block another visa type application)? I obviously expect the company to seek immigration advice prior to any offer being made but as we are in the early stages those discussions have not yet happened and curious if it is possible. Your insight would be welcomed. JP2019
