Hello everyone!
I got my 176 PR on the basis of SA sponsorship. When applying for the sponsorship, I read on their official website that "
Applicants must demonstrate a genuine interest in South Australia and a commitment to live and work in the state for at least two years by:". Also, in the "Sponsorship Application Cover Sheet" I have signed and posted to SA, one of the items under "Declaration" is "Sponsorship is being granted on the condition that I will migrate to and live in South Australia for at least two years."
Besides, the "Visa Grant Important Information" sent to me by DIAC says:
Your visa has been granted on the basis of a nomination by a State or Territory government.
States and Territories providing nomination require applicants to agree to:
● remain in the State or Territory for a period of at least two (2) years;
● keep the State or Territory government informed of changes in address details before and
after arrival; and
● be prepared to complete surveys and provide information as required.
From the above wordings, can I take it that the 2-year commitment does not require me to stay in the sponsoring state for the very first 2 years? Or, can I go to Sydney first, and then move to South Australia after a couple of years just to fulfill the 2-year living commitment? If so, will I be taken as not performing my "moral obligation" and be sued?
Thx in advance.
