155 Resident Return Visa
Ms. Han discovered Merchants Prosperity Education & Migration.through online reviews and reached out to us directly. Over the phone, she shared her story: from obtaining permanent residency through skilled migration to returning to her home country for family reasons, and now hoping to rebuild her life in Australia. However, her biggest obstacle was her visa status.
“My PR visa has already expired. My friends told me I might not be able to renew it. What should I do?” she asked anxiously.
After an initial consultation, we found that although she did not meet the two-year residency requirement within the past five years, she still had a chance to apply for a 155 Resident Return Visa (RRV) by demonstrating her strong ties to Australia.
Step 1: Gathering Evidence
We guided Ms. Han in preparing the following key documents:
- Financial Ties: She provided proof of property ownership in Australia and active bank account records.
- Social Ties: Several of her friends were willing to write support letters. We assisted them in drafting statements to demonstrate Ms. Han’s active participation in community activities.
- Reason for Leaving: Since she had left Australia to care for her parents, we helped her compile medical records and photos as supporting evidence.
Step 2: Explanation Letter
Given her unique situation, we prepared a detailed explanation letter, clearly outlining the reasons for her absence and her long-term plans upon returning to Australia. This letter played a crucial role in convincing the immigration authorities of her ongoing commitment to Australia.
Step 3: Additional Documentation
During the assessment, the Department of Home Affairs requested additional financial records to support her application. We promptly guided Ms. Han in obtaining detailed transaction histories from her bank and ensured that all documents met the required format.
Finally, her 155 Resident Return Visa was successfully granted. Upon her return to Australia, Ms. Han sent us a heartfelt message:
“Thank you for your help. This time, I will truly cherish my opportunity and build a good life in Australia.”
