Hi Palg1,
Appreciate you responding after not being active for so long.
I guess now you may have applied for your 887, did you have any issues with supplying evidence of living in two different states regional areas? Or your agent say it could be at time of grant?
The information I got from agent was it’s a grey area, however after calling home affairs they stated legal obligations are to department and visa conditions on grant letter, obligations to state are moral but encouraged to complete any agreements with them. They also mentioned they are not concerned with release letters, and if they were would be mentioned on their website. This was generic advise from home affairs.
Thanks.
