I'm already in Australia with 489 visa. Now I have applied/launched a 189 visa application and received a Bridging visa A (which is not active).
My question is if the 189 Application get refuse what will be my status? I will still have the 489 visa?

Hi Delwar,
You're correct, that you can travel overseas based on your current 457 visa, and even though the BVA will be cancelled, since the 457 is still intact you will be able to re-enter Australia.
Given you have until 2016 under your 457, it's probably unnecessary to worry about the bridging visa aspect at all since I can't imagine your 189 would still not be decided by then. If, for some completely unforeseen reason you were still waiting for your 189 in mid-2016, you should remember to have the BVA reinstated but you should have the 189 decided long before then.
