Let me introduce myself, I am a single and am staying in US on H1B.

Guys the news is, I received my PR approval today…………
It says I need to visit Australia before Feb 2005.


I wish to get suggestion for few questions:

Q1: What all documents I need to send to Washington office to get my passport stamped? What all things I need to do for stamping?

Q2: Since I am currently staying US I may go to Australia on a trip
for 5-10 days but I may not be in a situation to move permanently for
next 3 years.
Can you suggest me or direct me to some link where I can get
information on how to maintain PR status of Australia while staying in US?

Q3: There is quote in the letter I received saying "8515. The holder
of visa must not marry before entering Australia".
Does this mean that I should not marry before the permanent move or my first visit? The situation is I am single may get married sometime this year.
 
You will have 5 years to decide whether you want to move to Australia or not. You do need to enter Australia before the date specified in your passport.

I have heard that even past five years without actually moving there, that you can extend your resident visa. But whether that is actually possible I donot know.

Meanwhile you can visit Oz, have a wonderful holiday and return.
