My response wasn't directed at my situation. The genuine effort might apply to this Brisbane person as he is forced to be relocated. Thanks for your reply tho, I get your point.

hi there, I found this https://www.salvomigration.com.au/blog/rsms-cancellations-do-they-really-happen-yes-heres-how-to-avoid-it. In the linked article states " A visa holder may be able to satisfy the delegate that they have made a genuine effort if the failure to commence or complete the two year employment period was because of a situation beyond the visa holder’s control. Examples include: the position was not filled or did not remain viable due to a serious downturn in business activity or financial loss, bankruptcy or closure of the business." Hope this helps

Hi everyone I have worked under 187 visa for a large company over a year. Due to career progression, i want to relocate to a bigger city within the same organisation. I have good relationship with CEO whom is a friend. Does this violate the 2 year restriction? The visa rule only says 2 years of employment with the same sponsoring company, and it does not mention geographical restriction. Another way to view this through "genuine effort" test which says if employee stayed over 1 year, he/she can make strong case as genuine effort, given I am still working for the same company as same role. I think this would make a good "genuine effort". Please correct me if I am wrong. I don't want to lose my PR because of urge to move out of regional city. Thanks in advance!
