但是我的疑惑是,我怎么看那本我2012年6月打印出来的PARENT MIGRATION的介绍书,里面关于SPONSOR只说要求是SETTLED/USUALLY RESIDENT, 然后SETTLED/USUALLY RESIDENT的定义又只说have been lawfully resident in Australia for a reasonable period ,PR,TR都包括。 其中并没有说一定要在申请前的两年内住满两年。按我的理解,我从2009年住到2011年就应该合资格了。 难道我住满了10年PR,第九年出国几个月,第11年还不能申请家人了?所以我真的很疑惑也很无奈。
“A sponsor is required to be usually resident/settled in Australia for 2 years prior to the application being lodged. You departed Australia on 16/01/2011 and did not return until 16/07/2011. Which means that of that two years you were required to be “settled and usually resident” in Australia, you were in fact overseas for 6 months.
I am not able to reconsider my decision because legislation states that you were not settled or usually resident at the time of application.
I hereby give you 7 days to make a decision about withdrawing or I will need to refuse this application.”
