Subclass BN137
Hi,
We obtained Subclass BN 137 sSTNI for SA, back in 2006, we activated visa in Nov 2006, but did not emigrate until Feb this year. We were told after the visa was granted that some of the rules had changed and that we were able to live and work anywhere in Oz. I called our migration agent, and checked, her words were it is not illegal, you only have a moral obligation to stay in SA, please can someone cdonfirm this, as I am now worried that our visa will be cancelled at some point. By the way, when we entered, we have not registered or contacted any dept to let them know we are here, did not havey any instructions from them, is it likely or how will they trace us?? Really not trying to be unlawful, just worried now. Also my daughter has same visa, and wants her long standing boyfriend to come out as partner visa, although her Dad was main applicant, she was on form and issued with visa as she was dependant on us, she is now 22 and wants to know if her visa is valid to apply for defacto partner visa.
