cyberslam Posted November 7, 2015 Share Posted November 7, 2015 Hi all, I, along with my wife, came to Australia on a family sponsored visa (Brother) around an year ago and currently reside in Victoria which is the same state as my sponsor. Now due to personal and job reasons my brother has to leave Australia for a few years which is going to be before the completion of my 2 years live/work in a state requirement. So i am a bit concerned if this is going to have any effect in my going forward in getting the PR. Does anyone know if this going to be a problem for me down the line because the requirement of moving from 489 to 189/PR is live and work in the same state as the sponsor? Thanks in advance!

lebourvellec Posted November 7, 2015 Share Posted November 7, 2015 It won't be a Problem, but you will not be moving to the 189 - once you complete the requirements you apply for a 887 visa from the 489. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
