Random Rants
-
I'm living in Australia on a visa that grants me permanent residence for as long as I want.
However, I need to get a Resident's Return Visa (RRV) to enter the country should I leave. My old one expired shortly after the Kanreki last year, and I was planning on applying for citizenship around about now instead.
My plans got scuppered, because I need to be in the US for a funeral at the end of next week.
I phoned up immigration today to see what the processing time for an RRV would be, and was told that I could wait up to 47 days, nearly seven weeks. Oh, and I can't get back into Australia without one.
Given I've been in Australia long enough over the last few years to qualify for a five year visa, haven't committed any heinous crimes, and haven't changed my name or address, it should be possible to do it automatically.
So, I might be stuck overseas for six or seven weeks. Oh, look, Fish and Chips is on in eight weeks…

Just curious @neph93 …. have you ever laid down a rant on this thread? My intuition says “no way. Homeboy keeps it positive.”

Yeah that’ll cause a rant.

Thanks @rocket.
The chances are that the visa will be through in a week, that's the "75% are processed in this timeframe" timeline. But if there's a problem…
@neph93 it's an awful lot easier in the EU / EEA, or at least it will be for Brits up until sometime next year or whenever the transition period ends.

LISTEN HO
GIMME A TOEI literally just spit on my computer screen, LMAO!!!!
Eli, even though we've never met it's a privilege to be acquainted with such a fucked up individual and I say that with no irony or bullshit. I salute you a la Brad Marchand

Actually I may be more of a grumpy twat in reality than I present here. I’m pretty positive around here because it’s 99% a positive place and I like to do my bit to keep it that way.
I should probably vent a bit more as it may keep my blood pressure down. For example I’ve just been to the supermarket and could have cheerfully maimed about five people.

I need a passport for Canada. Not to enter Canada, to reenter the States. Arrrgh.
Hope it works out @Graeme
