You may provide statutory declaration. Also try to provide bank statement / money transfer receipt showing that you have paid on a regular basis. Make it believable and document based that you lived in a shared accommodation where you have paid on a regular basis.

My opinion is to save yourself, you've to make a complain and send that letter to CO. As you've declared that you worked as an employee, there is no way at this stage to come back of declaring you were self employed which does not require super.

 

that employer will somehow and some day get the letter from ATO/ any third party agency one day for not paying super to the employee; even though you do not complain.

one of my employers received such a letter after two years and he got 7 days time to pay it full.

JUN887,

2 years residency is 2 years even if you have completed the 1 year full time work..You can only apply after march 2016 but it will also depend on how many days you are away from australia during that 2 years

Hello, has anyone been granted 887 visa from 489 Family Sponsored stream in this forum? I just wanted to confirm if 2 year work in Melbourne is okay. I am pretty sure this is okay, as work requirement is designated area (which includes Melbourne) not regional area correct?

[sukh]

Hi tienlgvn .....

sorry for late reply ya( w gar) is right ...

[Ragav1024]

Hi Guys,

 

I am holding visa 489 and waiting for my turn to apply for 887 visa.

 

My question:

 

My 489 visa was state sponsored visa ( sponsored by NT). I couldnt find any jobs i NT hence I moved to NSW regional areas and I have got a job as visa allows me to work anywhere in the regional areas of Australia. However, am concerned will it make any impact to my 887 visa as am not working in the sponsored state.

 

Please advice.

Good luck with everyone.

If it is FS then yes. Why do you need to confirm official information from people of the forum?
