christopherj Posted November 17, 2016 Share Posted November 17, 2016 Hi everyone... this might not be a situation very common but at the beginning of this year we applied for 489 (my wife is the primary applicant). Very recently my employer (IT Consulting company in my home country) who has customers in Aus signed up for a project which requires me to work in Aus. Since we have not received the 489, my employer had to go ahead and apply for the 400 visa for me. I have a few questions... Do you see any negative effects on the 489 with the above scenario (keep in mind my work will be in Vic but our 489 is for SA) ? Once i receive the 400 and start working in Aus and we then receive 489 .. what are the next stepI i should take ? What about tax for 400 vs 489 (i will be paid in my home country ONLY) Regards Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is not for you to take up a permanent role without having to go to the bother of waiting for the appropriate visa. I would not take it as a given that you will get the 400, once they see the 489 in the pipeline it indicates that you are looking to move to Australia not undertake a temporary assignment.

I understand... but FYI .. this assignment is a short-term assignment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
