Yikes, thanks for the reply.

Didn't realise it was getting so serious and I hadn't heard of visa's being cancelled :-(

Hi Guys

I am new on here and a little overwhelmed with the volume of information so apologies if this has already been covered.

As a management accountant with 65 points and about to turn 45 this year I am running out of options, the only one I am aware of being 489 state sponsorship from NT. 

If I am successful can I still live for 2 years and work for 1 year in, say South Australia which is classed as a regional area, and still satisfy the requirements of the 887 without having ever lived in NT?

I am unclear whether the obligation to live and work in your sponsored state is a moral or statutory requirement to obtain permanent residency later on?

My biological clock is ticking so any help would be greatly appreciated

Cheers
