pinkpom Posted July 26 Share Posted July 26 I applied for an RRV the other day. I’ve had advice from a respected agent and I have a strong case - job offer, personal ties, spent lots of time in Australia etc. However under the current visa status I ticked ‘other’ instead of permanent resident as although I know I technically am a resident it then asks for the date your current visa ran out so it didn’t seem to make sense to say permanent resident. Is this going to affect my chances of it being granted or the speed of processing? For various reasons I need it granted as quickly as possible. I’d be grateful for any information. I know the application is done and I can’t change it but it would be great if anyone has any insights. Many Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Immigration know exactly what type of visa you have. It's not altered by what box you tick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It also asks for details of a previous Australian visa grant. 11 hours ago, pinkpom said: I know the application is done and I can’t change it but it would be great if anyone has any insights. You can change it (and are legally obligated to do so) if you realise you have supplied incorrect information. There’s a link to do so in the application in your immi account.

Yes … but what you tick then informs what other questions you are asked by the application form, so ticking the wrong box can lead to not completing the application form correctly for your circumstances. Sometimes the form will do the ‘sense check’ and ask you if you are sure, but sometimes it won’t and then a manual request for additional information would need to be made once a delegate reviewed the application.

pinkpom Posted July 27 Author Share Posted July 27 It was one of the first if not the first question. I think I may have misread/misunderstood the question then. I thought it was asking me what my current Australian visa status was. I am currently in a country where I am a citizen. I will log back in and have a look.

You should submit an incorrect answers form. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
