Hello all. Im in a confusing situation. I received my 489 sp visa grant letter last week. My state state sponsor is SA. the grant letter has visa condition 8539 which explains "You must live in specified areas Your visa has been granted on the basis of a nomination by a State or Territory government. Visa condition 8539 requires that you must live, study and work in regional and/or low population-growth metropolitan area(s). These are: Regional and low population growth metropolitan areas Postcodes New South Wales (NSW) Anywhere except Sydney, Newcastle, the Central Coast and Wollongong 2311 to 2312, 2328 to 2411, 2420 to 2490, 2536 to 2551, 2575 to 2594, 2618 to 2739, 2787 to 2898 Northern Territory Entire territory Queensland Anywhere except the greater Brisbane area and the Gold Coast 4124 to 4125, 4133, 4211, 4270 to 4272, 4275, 4280, 4285, 4287, 4307 to 4499, 4515, 4517 to 4519, 4522 to 4899 South Australia Entire state Tasmania Entire state Victoria Anywhere except the Melbourne metropolitan area 3211 to 3334, 3340 to 3424, 3430 to 3649, 3658 to 3749, 3753, 3756, 3758, 3762, 3764, 3778 to 3781, 3783, 3797, 3799, 3810 to 3909, 3921 to 3925, 3945 to 3974, 3979, 3981 to 3996 Western Australia Anywhere except Perth and surrounding areas 6041 to 6044, 6083 to 6084, 6121 to 6126,6200 to 6799" now my concern is that. Do i live n work in any of the regional areas mentioned above or i must live n work in only SA.?? the statement is general that i can live in any of the mentioned regional areas. For example as my SA is my sponsored state of 489sp visa so can i live n work in regional area of victoria or NSW? what actual law is? How it effects my future in AUSTRALIA. PLZ HELP regards Strikker

Hello everyone. the great news comes. I Got my visa 489 SA yesterday. long long wait ends, many many smiles. Best of luck to all 489 iers. :wink::notworthy:

I have joined the grouo but i can not comment? Why. How can i comment like here.

Hi all 489er. I have joined that group on PIA. gòod effort. I am still waiting for hap id of my new baby. I called them and the operator said your next CO will provide hap id. It means my CO will be changed now. Any one have faced the same scenario? Second CO.

Hello every one, it seems like delay in visa grant is mostly with 489ers and specifically SA region.. i am also on same boar. waiting desperately but no response. i am one step behind you guys. my new born baby is added in my application on immi account but her HAP ID is not send by CO. i am waiting for it. let c how much they take more time. best wishes to every 489er.

Hello all, i am in a tense situation. I applied for my 489 SA visa on 14th Oct-15 (me, wife and kid) and my CO assigned on 27th of Nov-15. he ask for PCC and med of my wife. i email hm that my wif is pregnant and we will do medical after the birth of baby. i sent all situation to CO twice a time but i received no response from CO. After my wife give birth to baby, i quickly arrange all document and also undergo medical of my wife and then upload everything on IMMI account. i also sent everything to CO and inform that i want to include my new baby in my application. From that day. it is a month gone and still i do not get any response from CO. I am much tensed. i want to include my new baby in my application. Co has not provided me HAP id for my new baby so that i arrange medical. i uploaded form 1022 as well. I don't know why there is no response from CO. Is this normal delay now a days or something is going wrong with my application. WHY CO IS NOT RESPONDING.

Congrats to all, who have granted Visa. i am on boat of waiting. I applied for 489 SA visa on 14th Oct and CO assigned on 27th Nov. now i am waiting from a long time. Any one have idea that how much more i need to wait. Why it is delay in process now a days. its killing.

Hello Anu, iam on same Boat. My Co assigned for my 489 visa SA, on 27th of Nov-15 and ask for medical of my family. i submitted every thing in mid of December, now i am waiting.. waiting and waiting. Not a single response from CO. i send two emails to CO but it looks they don't prefer to give response to emails. I don't know what going on there. Hoping for the best. Strikker

Thanks all for advice and correcting me. actually iam worried that may this delay effect my visa decision. since in first email of CO, she instruct to provide document in 28 days but due to my wife pregnancy i email her that i could not undergo medical till baby birth. now its 1 and half month, no acknowledgement from CO. i have feeling that may be she is not getting my emails. Do you guys have any exp that after baby birth? how i add my baby in my already lodged application. want to know WHAT IS THE PROCEDURE TO ADD NEW FAMILY MEMBER IN ALREADY LODGED APPLICATION.??? DID MY CASE OFFICER WILL ADD NEW BORN IN MY APPLICATION? DID MY CASE OFFICER PROVIDE HAP ID for medical arrangement? DID I NEED TO PAY EXTRA VISA FEE FOR NEW BORN IN ORDER TO ADD IN APPLICATION? if yes then how much? I will be very thankful to you for your assistance.

Hello all, my CO, **** allocated on 27th of nov and request information. i immediately respond and inform her about my situation of change in circumstance. i send her three emails and reminder on gsm.allocated@border.gov.au but not a single response come from her side. i am much worried that either she received my email or not. not a single acknowledgement. i dont know where she is. Does any one have telephone contact number of GSM adelaide or border.gov.au to call from outside australia. i am from PAKISTAN. i have one ************* but it is not working. Plz share

Hello Parthvader, do you have telephone contact number of GSm adelaide? please share with me. i am in a tense situation and need to contact my CO, xxxxxxxxx. who is in sleeping mode from last two months. i have this one xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx but it is not working. i have send alot of emails to CO on gsm.allocated@border.gov.au but its two month now, she is not responding to any email. iam worried a lot that either my emails are receiving there or not? i want to call her. if any one have plz share. regards, strikker

Another query is that, to be on safe side, do i need to submitt form 1022 now or after the birth of baby. what would be good for me. Plz suggest

The number is not wrong. actually when it connected. the tape recording voice comes. it says" for any inquiry email us at gsm.adelaide@border.gov.au"

I do not have their direct number. On website border.gov.au there us no contact number for offshore applicants. Does any one have gsm adelaide number? Plz tell me. I got one from forum ############# but it is not working.
