Thanks guys, appreciate your response.

Thanks for your response Marisawright, reason for return is that my job is classified as support to essential service in Australia.

Hi All, I applied for Temporary visa 485 graduate subclass on 21st September 20. Its been more than 9 months but there has been no activity on my application. I am currently on bridging visa A and in process of getting it converted to bridging visa B and applying for exemption to travel to India on compassionate and caring grounds. Given situation in India and limited return flights, it is hard to determine that I would be able to return to Australia in less than 3 months and it seems that AU government is more lenient in giving exemptions for 3 months+ return window. As per Immi website, BVB can be applied\reapplied only when in Australia and it is recommended that it is for less than 3 months duration. I am stuck in dilemma, to increase possibility of getting an exemption I need more than 3 months of BVB but AU immigration allows BVB for less than 3 months and it can be applied when in AU. Please help me and suggest how I can travel to India to take care of my family and still be able to come back to Australia in case of any delays(3months +).
