we finally got granted the 489 visa for 4 years after we lodged the application in Dec 2017. The document states that the stream is first provisional. I know provisional means that after 2 years we can apply for permanent residency (visa subclass 887) if we meet the requirements for PR. I just hope there is not a second provisional stream as the migration laws change every year. What really confuses me is the following visa condition:
"8539 - While the visa holder is in Australia they cannot live, study or work outside of a regional or low growth metropolitan area. This means anywhere in Australia except in:
• Sydney, Newcastle, Wollongong and the Central Coast in New South Wales • Brisbane and the Gold Coast in Queensland
• Perth and surrounding areas in Western Australia • Melbourne in Victoria • the Australian Capital Territory."
I thought we can just work in SA but as per this condition we are allowed to work in whole Australia now.
I called the Immigration Office today and the woman did not know and suggested I should contact the SA state regarding this condition. We are going to stay here in Adelaide anyways and Keep working in SA only but I thought they could be a bit more professional regarding this type of issues. I will keep ringing and annoying them with my questions as our residency in this Country depends on how well informed we are.
Good luck to all of you!!!
Hi,
I am new to this forum, I have applied for 489 SA in Dec 2018 and waiting for the grant. I saw there is a condition mentioned in your visa and wanted to ask you is there a condition which is mentioned that the dependents cannot make the first entry before the primary applicant?
