Hi,
We have just found out that we need to go overseas hopefully early next week for 6 weeks and our PR have just expired few weeks ago. Both my husband and I are permanent residents living in Australia since 2013 and 1998 respectively - so no issue on residency requirement.
We have applied online on the weekend and now awaiting for approval.
Some friends have mentioned that it only took them a couple of days to get approval but perhaps that was during a different global processing time. Immi website shows 15-33 days at the moment.
Now the question is, can we go overseas while we wait for the approval? if all goes well according to the processing time the visa should've been done before we need to come back to Australia.
I am on hold on the phone with immi but just wondering if anyone experienced something like this before?
Many thanks for your time.
