Some alarming issues of applying from VF 475( sponsored) to visa 189

[jfkjumbo2]

Hi,

i am new to this forum..

i have the visa type VF 475(sponsored by my brother)[ now visa type 489].

I have score of ielts 7 in all bands, acs approved (before 2012!!) as software engineer

so thinking to apply for the visa 189 now from onshore(within australia).

i have some doubt which i want to share here.

 

1.if i apply for the visa 189 (through EOI definitely) what will be my visa status?is it be a bridging visa?

2. And if the visa application unsuccessful(hope not for it) what will happen to the visa 489,will be remain same like before or be invalid also and i have problem then?

 

at present i am in Melbourne for 8 months with the visa 475.

kindly someone share view or knowledge about the issue please..

thanks in advance mates..

The bridging visa would not kick in until your 475 expired. If for some reason the other visa was refused you would stay on the 475 if it was still valid. If not you would have to leave the country.

thanks man for the information...

i have visa valid for more than 2 years right now..VF 475

 

So if i apply then there will be no problem i can still contineu as before(no bridging visa ,right?)

So if i apply for 189 and its response just in case come in 2 years(i definitely hope that not)..then can i apply for the PR from TR in normal process.?

hope you dont mind my queries in this case?
