Hi seeraj, I am just applying 489 for my wife as a subsequent entrant. i came across that question,is the applicant sponsored by relative? what should i select? your help would be appreciated thanks

Hi, I applied for my 489 family sponsored visa on sept 2017 and i got my visa in jan 2019. During my bridging visa i was living in sydney as i was not sure whether i will get the visa or not. While checking on Dibp website it says says that bridging visa period will also count when considering eligibility for 887 visa. I hold bridging visa for approx 1.5 years, 0.5 year short in order to apply for 887 visa. My question is although i didn’t live in designated area during my bridging visa because of the uncertainty of the grant of the visa, can i request dibp about the waiver of Designated area condition from my visa as i am working in sydney and a onshore applicant. More importantly, i am just 6 months away to be eligible for 887 visa? Rafay Fahim
