Thanks for that Paul. Much appreciated. So I've applied for the RRV, but I don't meet the residents requirements, (applying on substantial ties as I have done successfully before) so I'm pretty nervous that I won't get the rrv in time as we are flying on Dec 7. Eeek! Current processing times state 2 - 41 days or up to 12 weeks. Might you have any advice about speeding this up (if possible) and if it's okay to get an ETA if the RRV doesn't come through? OR would that ruin our chances of getting another rrv when we want to move back in the next two years?
Thanks in advance and sorry for all the questions!
