shreyask Posted October 8, 2017 Share Posted October 8, 2017 I have few queries regarding 887 pre requisite.To apply for 887 applicant must fulfil the criteria of 2yr stay in designated area and 1 yr full employment. My question is.1. Above rule apply only to primary applicant?2. What if primary applicant have completed 2 yr but dependent have not cometed 2yr in designated. Can a primary applicant still apply for 887?3. IELTS/PTE is required again if last IELTS score is more than 3yr?

SUPERSTARDJ01 Posted October 8, 2017 Share Posted October 8, 2017 I thought it was the main applicant as that's the person who got the visa? Could be wrongSent from my ONEPLUS A5000 using PomsinOz mobile app Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of people are on 457 / 189/ 190.Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SUPERSTARDJ01 Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 True but I would've thought the agents on here would helpSent from my ONEPLUS A5000 using PomsinOz mobile app Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaggieMay24 Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 I'm not an agent, but from what I've always understood - all visa holders of the 489 can only live/work in regional areas - when applying for the 887, the primary applicant must have lived in a regional area while holding a 489 (I believe there are a few alternates) for two years and worked full time in a regional area for 1 year. The dependent spouse from the 489 can become the primary applicant for the 887 if they meet the criteria. - I don't think you need to do IELTS again It's best to speak with a migration agent though if you want to be sure. There are several agents on this forum who may be able to help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr&MrsB Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 We have a 489 we have never been told or read anything on our visa about re-sitting the IELTS but everyone included on that visa must complete the expectation, 2 year live and 1 year work.

Mr&MrsB Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 I think if you applied together for the 489 visa then you will need to do the same for the 887, but check with an agent maybe for sure!
