My partner and I were granted our 491 visa yesterday. I am currently offshore due to a parent’s medical condition, while my wife is onshore.
We have been living in Sydney, and my wife is employed with a company based there. Her notice period with the employer is two weeks. She also has offshore travel planned for next week for a duration of three weeks or more.
We would like your advice on the most appropriate course of action in the following circumstances:
Option 1: If relocation to a regional area is required immediately, my wife is prepared to resign from her position straight away and cancel her planned travel. In this case, I would also make arrangements to travel to Sydney sooner to move to regional suburb.
Option 2: Alternatively, she could proceed with her planned offshore travel, return to Australia, serve her notice period with the employer, and then relocate to a regional area.
Could you please advise which option would be more appropriate to ensure compliance with our visa conditions?
Option 2 is okay. You can read about condition 8579 here
