David chan Posted January 1, 2013 Share Posted January 1, 2013 Hi All, The PR visa was expired on Aug, last year, and I started to stay in Australia since last July. I knew it is required to have 2 years stayed in Australia, in order to obtain Resident Return Visa (RRV). I would like to ask: (1) Can I apply a visa for my wife who did not grant PR visa when my PR visa was granted? (2) It is required to stay 4 years, to get the Australia citizen. If I can get the RRV (for example) on Aug, this year, how long do I need to stay further in Australia? extra 3 years or another 4 years? Thanks for your help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ali Posted January 1, 2013 Share Posted January 1, 2013 https://www.ecom.immi.gov.au/citz/startIntervalCalc.do The calculator should help you determine when you can apply for citizenship. You will only need to apply for the RRV if you're going to leave Australia. What visa is your wife currently in Australia on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rupert Posted January 1, 2013 Share Posted January 1, 2013 You don't need to be in Australia for two years to get a rrv, you just need to have some ties. You don't need a rrv unless you leave and want to come back. No reason you could not sponsor your wife for a partner visa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
