mrtc Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 Hi, If I were to apply for a 489 Family Sponsorship Visa, do I need a skills assessment on the SOL list or is CSOL also accepted? Also for WA, do you still need a job offer & 3 years experience as with the state sponsored 190/489 visas?

farmer82 Posted July 14, 2017 Share Posted July 14, 2017 Good Day All My query for 489 family sponsorship is that have my first cousin who happens to be an Australian citizen used to live in Melbourne but have temporary moved to India.As I received an invitation for my E.O.I for 489 visa can I use my this sister details or has it to be a relation being Australian citizen but also living in Australia can sponsor me for 489 visa. Where unable to understand which is correct that only Australian citizen and living in Australia can only sponsor me or as in the case can my sister sponsor me despite being citizen of Australia but she been living in India for last 4 years. thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wrussell Posted July 14, 2017 Share Posted July 14, 2017 Your sponsor must be usually resident in a 'designated area' of Australia. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
farmer82 Posted July 14, 2017 Share Posted July 14, 2017 Thanks for the reply so what is to be understood when they say usually resident. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wrussell Posted July 15, 2017 Share Posted July 15, 2017 The DIBP definition is: Quote Usually resident The place that a person is 'usually resident' is decided taking into account their physical residence (where the person eats, sleeps, has a home) and the person's intention to make that place their home. This is a simplistic definition. The issue has been dealt with at length in various court decisions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaggieMay24 Posted July 15, 2017 Share Posted July 15, 2017 It would likely depend on the individual situation, but I think it would safe to say that someone who's "temporarily" moved to India for the last 4 years would not be considered to be usually resident in Australia.
