francy Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 We are on my husbands 489 visa which was issued October 2014, we arrived in oz March 2015. Come April he will of completed 12 months in his skilled job field. After 2 yrs we can apply for residency. Is it 2 yrs from the visa issue or entry into Oz? (think it would be from entry but want to make sure as can't see it anywhere on immi website) Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaggieMay24 Posted January 29, 2016 Share Posted January 29, 2016 It's 2 years immediately prior to the date you apply for the 887. So when you are ready to apply, look backwards 2 years and you must have been living in a regional area and working full-time at least 1 year in a regional area.

ozpursuit Posted January 29, 2016 Share Posted January 29, 2016 March 2015 March 2016 March 2017 <-- 2 years assuming you did not travel away from Australia for an extended period of time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
