Hi Guys,
Need help with a couple of things i.e. Resident to Permanent Resident & Renewing Passport.
Any help will be appreciated. 😊
I received my Resident Visa on 27 September 2020 & is eligible to apply for PRV on 27/09/2022.
Passport Expiring: 23/12/2023
Travel Plans: Mid Dec 2022 to Mid Feb 2022
I am aware the current processing time for RV to PR is 4-5 months. There are less chances of me getting PRV before December 2022 if applied in September (travelling overseas mid Dec to mid Feb). What are my best options to be on the safer side?
1. Shall I apply for a 6-month RV extension before leaving the country? Can it be extended further if I get stuck overseas? (In case of another historical event in the world)
2. Can I apply for extension prior to the expiry of my RV?
3. Can I apply for the RV extension & PRV at the same time?
4. Can I request for a fast processing of my PRV if I have an excuse (or reason) for overseas travel?
5. As mentioned above my passport is expiring next year in December 2023, shall I stay on the extended RV & wait until I come back, renew my passport & then apply for PR on a new passport?
Thank you again for your time & advice.
