Shaugn Posted November 30, 2018 Report Share Posted November 30, 2018 I'm not an agent but have gone down this path. There are no short cuts. If you have fulfilled the residency and work requirements for the 887 visa, and adhered to the requirements of the 489 visa, I don't think that there will be an issue. Remember that until you are granted an 887, you need to fulfill the 489 conditions at all times (e.g. stay in the designated area as indicated by your visa etc.). With regards to case 2, if you obtained regional sponsorship from the state you are currently resident in, you may have had to sign something like a " provide a commitment statement to Australia's Northern Territory (NT) " . You may need to get some kind of formal release from the state to move interstate (contact your state immigration authority in this regard). I'm not sure whether this release is also considered later on should you apply for citizenship. The comments re 489 visa conditions are the same as above.

Philip84 Posted June 16, 2019 Report Share Posted June 16, 2019 @alih94, I dont have answer to your question from last year. Was hoping to hear if you may have the answer. Why I ask is because I got an invite for a 489 VISA on the 13th of June 2019. If all goes according to plan I am hoping to make the move early 2020 to Darwin.

RCJames Posted July 6, 2019 Report Share Posted July 6, 2019 We are also on a 489, I would speak to a migration agent before you do anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
