Going back to KL soon. Now just waiting for a company bus to get me out of here after my swing and take me to the airport.

If anyone wants their documents certified for any Australian visa applications, I'll be back on 30th and also give general advice in person if required.

Hi There,

Can anyone advise on this:

If my brother helps to sponsor for my PR, would I be able to sponsor my son for his PR too?

Thanks

I believe you have to be a pr too before u r able to sponsor your son. So get that 1st....then only look into sponsoring your son. Immigration rules change fast.

2) possibly. Best check wit agent or call immi direct.

Cheers.

To apply for extension you need to stay at least 2 years (cumulative) out of the 5 years since your PR had been granted.
You must meet 2 years, you cant miss by even a few days.

Reapply might not be as easy I think.

Yes. It it called an RRV or Resident Return Visa. Subclass 155 or 157.

If you do not fulfill the 2 out of 5 year stay condition if you provide proof of extenuating circumstances you can be granted a waiver.

Is it really cumulative? I highly doubt that. I have an uncle who is a pr and flys back to malaysia every year very often for business. He is still a pr btw. So whats your source?

Do you know the difference between living in OZ and living outside OZ??? If one lives outside OZ and trying to renew PR, the Immigration department will count the days

Do you understand the word "cumulative"? The requirement for the Resident Return Visa (subclass 155) is to spend 2 out of 5 years in Australia on a cumulative basis, NOT an consecutive basis.

In other words, lets say you spend year 1 in Australia, year 2 and 3 in Malaysia, fly back on year 4, and back to Malaysia in the middle of year 5, if you have physically spent 2 years in Australia (around 730 days) in that 5 year block, you will get the RRV.

Further reading: Paragraph 155 of the 2nd Schedule of the Migration Regulations 1994 (http://www.austlii.edu.au/au/legis/cth/consol_reg/mr1994227/sch2.html)

The explanatory statement in the
Migration Amendment Regulations 1999 (No. 6) is also worth a read. (http://www.comlaw.gov.au/Details/F1999B00082/Explanatory%20Statement/Text)

I assume that when you say "my brother helps to sponsor for my PR", you are using the Remaining Relative visa (subclass 115) pathway, as the usual pathways (189 et al) no longer take family into consideration.

Remaining Relative visa (subclass 115) visa holders CANNOT sponsor anyone to migrate to Australia.

Have a look at the "What this visa lets you do" section (under the "Visa Holders" tab) of the Skilled Independent visa (subclass 189) page and compare it with the Remaining Relative visa (subclass 115).

It is cumulative of 2 years throughout the 5 years period, no less. I am an Australian PR as well for 6 years. I been told many times at immigration.

Unless there is a new regulation about PR renewal. I am sure this rule is still the same.

How about 885 visa? I had sponsored my parents to Australia last 2 years via online.

As far I remembered we are only allowed to sponsor one directly blood related family member per 885/886 visa granted.

Kinda worried when they always change the immigration rules like that.

For those applying for PR visa you need to read your terms and conditions to the letter. These kind of information is ready available in the documents that you apply from the internet.

If you want to live in that country you better make a habit of reading every bloody document because Australians are very detailed at their paper work, especially immigration.

Everything you do is on black and white. You dont read, it is your problem.

Anyone done their medicals using the e-medical system?

If yes:

1) Where did you do it?
2) How was your experience? Service, time for medical results to be uploaded, etc etc.
