Hi wrussell

i was sponsored by orana region of nsw I did get release letter or relocation letter from them

Me too, sponsored by one of RDA in NSW but never been there. My 489 visa was granted onshore but 2 weeks later I got a full time job offer from a resort outside the region (chef occupation). I accepted and forwarded it to the RDA and they  gave me release letter straight away.

Have you got your 887 permanent?

Hello,

Getting an offer from different region other than the sponsored state, seems to be a fair reason to ask for a release. But what happens at the time of applying for 887?The visa condition of 887 clearly states that the applicant must live and work in the sponsored state/region.. Can someone give more info on this? may be post relevant links or related forum posts?

Thanks in advance. !!

I ever read on thread "887 - what's the update ?" one guy who did not get "release letter" and live in another region able to secure PR after 2 years stay and 1 year work in another regional area

So did he get PR even without release letter?

It is not a problem, as long as you lived and worked in regional post codes for the required periods

Hi mate you seem very confident with your response. You must have evidence to support please share if you don't mind.

Yes I know quite a few couples and friends who have moved regions and states on 489 visas, without permission letters and have received their 887 PR's. The legislation allows movement between regions as per the stipulated post codes. I was sponsored by Northern Inland in NSW but moved to the Mid-North Coast where I had a job offer. Before that I got advice from a lawyer in order to be confident about the move

I am on same boat sponsored by murray regional area NSW but first 9 months in Adelaide and moved to murray region NSW but getting scared I am on bridging visa.

My agent said its not a problem unless you live and work in regional area of Australia

Reading many blogs from different immi agent on their website and Face book posts some of them said its not a problem in regional area and some said you have to live in the same state and regional area sponsored you.

tried to get release letter for murray region but they said government stopped giving release letter
