Hi all,

Does anyone have any experience with moving to Australia under a 417 visa whilst they had an application lodged for a 189? I am thinking of using it as a route to get out to Aus whilst I am waiting for my 189 grant. I have a 417 visa that has not been used yet which was granted before my 189 application.

Hi, this is what I'm planning on doing. Hoping the 189 will come through around May, till then going out on a WHV

You can still use your WHV and go to australia while waiting for the grant.

You can be in or outside Australia when you apply for the visa and when a decision is made."
