Hi Chelle! So happy nabasa ko yung timeline mo. Ask ko lang gano ka katagal bago ma invite sa Visa 489 Relative Sponsored? Nasa SOL pa ang occupation ko and my cousin is willing to sponsor me. Luckily, he's living in designated area in Victoria and a permanent resident. Pinagiisipan ko kung visa 189 (nasa estimated 65-70points lang ako) pero kapag 489(Relative sponsored ( estimated 75-80pts). Thanks!

We are planning to apply for Subclass 489 relative sponsored for ACT. However, my husband's nominated occupation Architectural Technician 312199 is a 'nec' not classified elsewhere occupation. Ano po ibig sabihin nun? Ano ang bearing nun sa aming application?
I hope somebody can shed a light on this.
Thank you.

I'm a holder of visa 489, but unfortunately due to some family/work issues, I haven't been able to go to Australia yet. I am planning to migrate this coming May 2017, however, based on the remaining time of the 489 visa, I will not be able to meet the visa 887 requirement of (lived 24 months and worked 12 months in designated area). Appreciate your advice as to what action I can take for this kind of case. Thank you
