@gregormendel I need your help on a complicated situation. I posted in group but received no response.
Need advice – 491 visa vs PhD in Brisbane
Situation:
I have an offer for a PhD at UQ (St Lucia, Brisbane) starting 1 Jan 2026. I also have a Subclass 491 visa lodged in July 2025 (primary applicant, occupation on 491 list). If the 491 is granted while I am studying in Brisbane: I’d be breaching the live, work, and study in regional area condition and can’t apply for 191 as primary. My spouse and kids are dependents/secondary applicants on my 491 application. If my spouse fulfills all 491 requirements, can I still be included as a dependent on their 191 application even though I personally breached 491? will breaching having any adverse affect on 191 application where I am secondary applicant? And if my University changes the campus to Gatton (which is regional) on COE, then I will not be breaching the study, live, work condition or otherwise as my faculty is located in St Lucia?
Need your expert advice,
@gregormendel I am applying for 491. Previously had a student visa granted and then left Australia. For that subclass 500 dependent, I submitted my son's birth certificate issued by Australian capital territory and it had our marriage details including date and place which I put wrong. Now I have got it corrected from ACT birth register. I will submit his new birth certificate. Will it be a problem if CO checks previous visa documents and find different details of marriage in both birth certificates? I am worried, all other documents have same details. Please guide
