Sponsor on the move!
Hello All,
Just found out my sponsor has put his house on the market. As we have applied for a designated area sponsored visa, he needs to remain in the postcode we have declared. Has anyone been in this situation? Of course, it could take time for the house to sell but it's a potential show stopper!
I'm assuming we would need to inform ASPC of the change of address but if he moves outside the postcode I also assume it's good bye visa.......or is it tied to the time of applying?
Anyone been through this scenario?

I can't say for sure, but I would presume that as long as he's not moving to a non-designated area it should be fine.
I would send extra documentation to prove they are still living in a designated area, as the sponsor has to be living in a designated area when the visa decision is made.
Good luck!

1. Where is the sponsor moving from, and where to?
2. Do you meet the requirements for Skilled Australian Sponsored (subclass 138) as well?

[QUOTE=JAJ]Questions to answer before any meaningful information can be provided:

Hi Jeremy,
Thanks for taking the time out to reply. In answer to 1), we are not entirely sure as the information is a bit sketchy, but we think it is within the original postcode we applied for. I must admit I have not looked at the other categories recently, the bonus I had with 139 was no points count so could choose a dead cert for my skills assessment (40 points).

Incidentally, there are risks in choosing a 40 point skill assessment if your work experience is not in the same occupation. Seek professional advice if this is the case. Normally it's better to choose a 50 point occupation if you qualify for it, even if going for the 139 visa.
