      Former Resident Visa

      Hi, I'm Melanie and I grew up in Adelaide between the ages of 5 and 17. I am now in the UK, having been back since the end of 2001. I am wanting to return (hopefully mid-end of next year 2010) but now have 3 children and a fiance. I should be eligible for a former resident visa.

      Has anyone else return on a former resident visa 151? I cannot really find much info on what this means for me and my family as most info is on migrating to Australia.

      I think this is where you need to look:
      http://www.immi.gov.au/migrants/residents/

      You must have spent nine (9) of your first 18 years in Australia as a permanent resident...you qualify as far as the years spent here but were you a perm resident? I would imagine, but you'd have to search it out, you can bring dependents with, as it states that you can sponsor people for permanent residence (subject to waiting periods).
