@kellymacato - isa isahin po natin:
<u><b>Issue 1:</b></u> may obligation clause sa 475 about the primary/dependents should live and work in the regional area, tapos pag hindi na-satisfy, hindi magiging eligible for PR application..
i've read in some discussions na pwede naman maging PR applicant ung 475 secondary visa holder, assuming ma-satisfy ung requirements (work and live in regional area)
so kung magwowork ka fulltime, at ma-satisfy mo ang mga obligations, then pwede ka mag apply for PR (as the primary applicant)
pwede din magpa-sponsor through an employer
<u><b>Issue 2:</b></u> Primary visa holder not in AU
the visa was granted on the merit of the primary applicant.. and technically kung naging invalid na ang visa ng primary, the same applies for the secondary/dependents
now, this is the main issue... im not an expert.. but im thinking if declarations (on both sides) can be presented sa PR application mo, as evidence na hindi na on-going ang relationship ng primary at secondary
baka maging main issue din ang entry dates, dahil nauna sya, sumunod ka, tapos hindi na sya nag-stay...
Again, my opinion, there are other pathways:
pwede din magpa-sponsor through an employer
or apply as indepedent skilled migrant (through EOI/Skillselect), advantage is you have lived and worked in Regional AU, so mataas ang points mo dun sa work experience..
kung wala sa SOL ang skills mo, then mag-aral ka muna ng mga in-demand skills
