PW1 Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 Hello, I realise I should just ask the relevant authorities, but was curious to know if anybody else had done this? Basically, my wife and I will be moving to Melbourne, I am state sponsored PR. The only thing we worry about is getting jobs. Her company is global and has an office in Sydney and it may be possible for to get a transfer there, I would then work there on her visa. The idea is that we work there while I apply for jobs in Melbourne, if I could get a contract in Sydney, it would mean that I would gain 'Australian Local Experience', which would help me get a job in Melbourne. The idea is we could emigrate to Melbourne via Sydney without either (or both) of us being out of work. I just wonder what Vic state would make of it though. I don't want to do anything to jeopardise the Vic state visa I worked so hard for, and it would be a massive advantage to be able to make the change without both of us being unemployed at any point. Thoughts? Regards, P. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

illuminati Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 This topic has been discussed numerous times and as said before it is a moral obligation to stay in the state that sposnors you for the first 2 years.

PW1 Posted January 31, 2014 Author Share Posted January 31, 2014 Yes, I was aware of the two year thing, I wasn't sure whether it had to be the first two years or not. I wonder though if Vic would prefer me to arrive with a job, rather than without :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blossom Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 I think they would just prefer that you make your life there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buzzy--bee Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 I was also state sponsored PR. They send you an email every 6 months where you have to tell them where you are living and what you are doing for work. Even when I became an Australian Citizen during the 2 year sponsored period they still told me I had a legal obligation to give them this information. Personally if I was sponsored by a state/employer/relative I'd make damn sure I met the conditions of my sponsorship. BB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
