andreyito Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 (edited) Hi all, I was hoping to be able to get some help with this. I lodged my application for PR visa 189 (general skilled migration, analyst programmer, 75 points), and submitted all required documents and the required health check on 27 Dec 2018. However, I've recently gotten a job offer in the UK for about 2 years (negotiable), which I'd really like to go for. My current visa 485 (post-graduate work) ends on 24 Apr 2019, but I've been granted a BVA in the interim. A few options that I've researched on: 1. Accept the job, leave for the UK, and simply let my BVA get cancelled. I'm aware that I won't be able to return to Australia, but that doesn't matter to me anyway, since I'll be working in the UK anyway. As and when I get awarded the PR, will I be able to come back into Australia as a permanent resident? Will letting my BVA get cancelled affect my PR application? I've read somewhere on the internet that if I'm awarded PR while overseas, it will only "activate" when I step into Australia again, probably within a certain time frame. 2. Apply for BVB - but this is somewhat undesirable because BVBs are generally only 3 months. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
