Overseas during BVB - change of address?

[Gregoire_FR]

Hi guys,

We have applied onshore for a 189 visa, got BVA then applied for BVB and obtained it. We are now successfully on BVB and overseas for more than 14 days. Reading on the site that You must notify us of a change in address if you have an undecided application for a visa with us and you intend to change your residential address for 14 days or more , my partner has changed her address on the online "update portal".

Second guessing this move, we are now worried that this may change our onshore application to offshore, and/or cause confusion (because we are obviously coming back to Australia in a few weeks' time). We will reach out to Home affairs call centre, but wanted to have individual feedback on:

1) whether we were right to update this

2) if we were wrong, what should we do to remedy

To note that we are and will be well within the time frame given by the BVB.

Thank you in advance for your help!

Cheers,

Greg

Hi Greg,
You got nothing to worry about. Changing address does not make your application from onshore to offshore. 189 can be granted whilst you are onshore or offshore.
