Thanks@ Labourvellec. My sponsoring state made me sign an agreement committing to living in the territory for a minimum of 2 years. Have I not committed a breach already? I know they have given me verbal permission to leave but without a letter, this is hard to prove if push comes to shove. If my wife is to apply as primary applicant, how do we at up an Immi Account for her?

Please I need your advice. I am the primary holder of 489 visa, worked for 1 year & half and lived in designated area for one year and eight months. However, I lost my job due to high level discrimination; I complained to Fairwork and Anti Discrimination Department and got some compensation. Thereafter, I found it impossible to secure another job for 4 months. I called the sponsoring state explained my ordeal and I was that told I was released to go, since I had stayed one and a half years plus; I also have to support my family but the lady I spoke said they could not Confirm this in writing. After they verbally released me, I still spent close to $3000 to get training, tickets and licences to try for other jobs but still got no job. Anyway, I had to move to another regional area to work as my finance was depleted. I have been working outside the regional area that sponsored me but still work in another region since the last 4 months. I still have my wife and children in the state that sponsored us while I visit them once in a while. 1. Can I still apply for 887 since I still maintain my lease and family there. The electricity bill for instance, still comes in my name. 2. Will I be viewed as breaking the conditions of my visa? I showed good faith and tried everything to get another job so as not be separated from my family? 3. Can I apply for 887 or allow my wife be primary applicant? She has a causal job but works full time hours
