Maggie2012 Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 Just a quick question: does the 2 year obligation on Subclass 190 visas apply to the secondary applicants as well? The reason I am asking is that hubby may have a job working from home in another state. Would that compromise my obligation as a primary applicant to the sponsoring state? Would he also be required to live and work in the same state as I am? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blossom Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 Technically it's only a moral obligation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maggie2012 Posted August 23, 2013 Author Share Posted August 23, 2013 Technically it's only a moral obligation. keep hearing that but even a moral one is an obligation. The question still remains, does it apply to all secondary applicants as well? "As you are aware, by accepting ACT nomination, you have committed to live and work in Canberra for at least 2 years from the date of permanent arrival in Australia" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chardy Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 I would say no as you have the sponsorship to meet the need for your occupation in that state. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk - now Free Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest30085 Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 The obligation applies to everyone included on your visa, to live and work in your sponsoring state for two years. Having said that it is a moral not legal obligation. I have seen people contact the sponsoring state and explain the situation, it seems only fair, but explain you will all be living in the sponsoring state but his employer is based inter state. But there isn't anything to stop him. But you may get responses saying he SHOULD live and work in the original state and this question does seem to get strong responses.

Not only that but his occupation was not on the state's sponsor list. And the definition is not really clear about the secondary applicants.

Chardy Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 The reason it is only a moral obligation is to allow flexibility for personal circumstances like relationship break ups, inability to find a job in that state etc. To my mind you are the one with the occupation in demand so you are covering your obligations and he is merely trying to contribute and he has a valid job offer. Been here 9 months and had no communication from WA so how do they keep tabs ??? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk - now Free Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bensdad Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 They don't they are not interested. We contacted immigration to tell them of our arrival as requested and they weren't even bothered. Never even asked our names or anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never even asked our names or anything. we are going to ACT and I can say the opposite: they are very much interested. We had several emails asking where exactly we going and also stating the obligation. We were assigned agents who even asked if they should come out and greet us at the airport. Perhaps it being the capital they running a tight ship on this... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk - now Free This is true for some people. There seems to be no set thing, but less and less people seem to be being given that condition. Shugah stated that their visa said nil restrictions, so they will be fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
