Hi Queening It doesn't matter. As long as you had weekly over 35 hours in total and receiving the current amount of wage, you should be fine.

I agree with Russki. On the NSW Regional Development Northern Inland website, they clearly mentioned about the letter as below: I think better to talk with your inviting state for a release letter if possible to minimise the potential issues But again, the such requirments may differ from state to state Release Letter A “Release Letter”, releasing a 489 visa recipient from their obligation to this region may not be granted without the visa holder showing that they have taken serious steps to relocate to or remain in this region, through seeking employment. Such a letter can provide peace-of-mind when a skilled migrant needs to broaden their job search beyond their nominating region. RDA Northern Inland has been informed that 489 visa holders do not need a "Release Letter" for their permanent 887 visa application. Where someone has been advised by the Department of Home Affairs to obtain a release letter please send an email request to migration@rdani.org.au with the following: your current address a copy of your visa grant notice from the Department of Home Affairs attached an explanation as to why you are requesting the release letter

I wrote: employment and applying for 887 visa and the city as I am staying at the moment. Personally, I don't think you have to pay a lot of attention to these questions.

Hi Angos It is very confusing for sure. I didnt apply through that agent (I applyed myself on Sep 2018), so I can't ask for more info. I was just share it to you guys. There is lot of conflicting info around the Internet. I am also not sure which one is currect.

I have received a newsletter from a Chinese agent. They said the latest 887 grant within their agent was on 5 Feb 2019, which applied on 1 March 2018. No more detailed info in that newsletter, so not sure that was a direct grant or not.
