Hi again guys. I'm in a bit confusing situation right now. So as I mentioned before, I already hold a visa 491 (NSW regional). Last week, I already told my current employer, w/c is an Australian company based in Sydney, about my planned resignation. Pero gusto nila iextend yung employment ko with them since meron silang office in a regional area but outside of my nominating region. Yung office nila isa nasa regional area rin ng NSW, actually katabi lang ng nominating region ko.
Question: For a visa 491 holder like me, would you recommend to accept their offer and move to a different region or should I stay and find work within my nominating region?
If I move, would it affect my future application for visa 191?
Hoping to hear from you guys or from someone who already moved from one regional area to another.
not recommended but pwede kasi kapag binasa mo yung 491 visa nakalagay dun na you could stay and work to any regional area so technically pwede since yung office ng current company mo is in regional at hindi ka pa mahihirapan maghanap ng work. wala naman magiging problema sa PR application mo since nasa titira at mag work ka naman sa regional area.
Thank you for the response. Last weekend, I have directly asked an RDA officer from my nominating region and they have responded that they allow such move. However, gusto rin nila makahanap ako sa lugar nila ng work.
BTW, I saw your signature, is visa 887 only applies for visa 489 holders or any other skilled regional visa holders like 491?
Yup 887 is for 489 visa holder only. yung sa 491 need mag apply ng 191 after ma comply yung condition sa residency at work in regional area.
Hi Hunter, for 489 visa, have you stayed in your regional area for two years before applying and granted an 887 visa? OR lumipat ka ng ibang regional area?
Currently, I asked an RDA officer from my nominating region if movement from one regional area to a neighboring area is OK, and they have responded yes. They also said that it should be OK for 191 visa eligibility since the movement is still to a designated regional area.
Just picking up some more info sa mga successful nakapag upgrade from temporary visa to PR visa.
Thank you.
