We have an SIR visa which we validated last April but due to problems with our house sale in England have not been able to get out to Australia permanently. We therefore really needed to be back out in Australia before the 5th April 2008 but as our house has not yet sold this is loking unlikely. Does anyone know what our chances would be of extending our visas should we be late in arriving to enable us to fulfil all the criteria to obtain permanent residency? We are getting desperate and any of your thoughts or information would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Blondie
You're more likely to get your questions answered on our new forum (see top of the page) if you post it there, as this one is now winding down.

Seeya over there...
