Would like to know if how you folks rent out an apartment in the Southern Inland without being employed? Because I've read from the domain.au and realestate website that before renting, there will be a viewing for the apartment first and you should have an employment information or in such.
I am expecting my visa to be granted early next year. So, I am on a hunt for an apartment to live in.

I recently got an invitation to apply for subclass 489 visa (RDA Southern Inland state nomination). My greatest concern now is whether i would regard my husband and child as "non migrating dependents", understand that such provision would still allow them to come to australia with me using the subsequent entrant visa (yet they would have to go through medical and PCC with me). I am not considering them as "migrating dependents" for now as I would want to settle first in southern inland such as finding a job and a home for the three of us. It is also difficult to include them now with my subclass 489 visa application, due to the following :
1. Husband is college undergraduate only 3 yrs spent in college, although the school can provide a certification that all instructions where taught in english as he has completed all his english subjects while in college. Will this be a problem in the application? is this enough proof of functional english? Husband has not taken IELTS yet.
2. If I would include our 4 yr old child in my application, there will be no one to take care of him while I am finding a job when I land in Australia. Will this be reason enough for the Case Officer to consider my justification of not including him yet in my application? Would be better for him and my husband to go together to australia through subsequent entrant visa.
3. The visa cost for the three of us if I include them both in my application is also a concern, we would want to save the money while I get myself settled in australia and while they wait until i have them invited through subsequent entrant visa.
Please enlighten me, Im really in a panic as I am given only 60 days to apply for the visa. Looking forward on your reply.
Thank you very much.

1. if hubby mo di pa nakakagraduate, they will ask about the secondary school cert of english as medium of instruction, i may be wrong.. but you can ask him to take an IELTS exam kasi if I remember it correctly, 4.5 score lang ang required sa dependents.
2. it is advisable na mag apply together. Later na lang sila together mag punta after mo makpag settle sa au.. basta ensure that they will be able to go to aus before ied expires..
3. afaik, it is cheaper if together with the main applicant i lodge ang visa of dependents, mas matrabaho at mas magastos kapag papasunudin mo lang sila on a different visa..
others may be able to help share their experiences.. ito lang nabasa ko sa pagpupuyat sa forum na to hehehe >-

Hope that you don't mind, what's your profession and timeline on your 489 visa? Do you use an agent or self apply?

@se29m was right. It will be way too expensive if you don't lodge together with your application.

I got offerred subclass 489 po, instead of 190. Praise God for the blessing.
Gusto ko lang po malaman pano ko po mainclude un my now fiancee. Kasi po hindi ko na din muna sya sinama sa initial application- 1 mahal po pag dalawa sa agency, second po aantayin ko pa maging oks mga documents nya and gusto ko po sana makahabol ng January 16 Submission.
With God's grace po I got offered 489, pano po ba ang change status?
Mahirap po ba?

Like 60 points requirement? I'm aiming for s189/190 but short pa ako sa points at kelangan ko pa ng 65+ sa PTE . I'm just thinking for the s489 visa option at baka mas mabilis ang processing compared sa s190 state nomination. Not sure, but other requirements mukhang pasok na ( competent english, in the occupation lists, complete Skills assessment by EA) . Thanks in advance for any comments or suggestions.
