Posted by AJ on 10/22/2007, 10:45 am, in reply to "Permanent Resident Visa " I am a PR too and my spouse is an Australian migration lawyer. The Dept of Immigration assesses criteria for granting renewal of PR visa every five years. Having one does not give anyone the right to have it re-newed because factors such as ties to Australia need to be fulfilled such as length of time in residence in Australia, employment and property ties, family ties etc. --Previous Message--

Hi,
: Hello – I was wondering if anyone has any
: ideas about the following: I lived in
: Australia for about four years and applied
: for a PR visa during my last year in the
: country. The visa was approved and I
: completed the process, but I had moved back
: to the US at that point. I have the PR visa
: in my passport and returned to Australia for
: a short stay so that it would be activated.
: I think I have about two years left on this
: visa but am now living in the US. Is it
: possible for the visa to be renewed if I am
: outside Australia? Are there any
: requirements that need to be met so that it
: can be renewed? or will I end up losing the
: visa if I do not move back before it
: expires? Or is this visa not valid because
: I have been outside of the country? Just
: wondering if anyone else was ever in this
: situation. Thanks for any ideas. I was
: hoping to come back some day, but time moves
: very fast.
