Hi,
We got 190 visa grant last week and by next month we as a family are moving to a designated area in Queensland. I would like to sponsor my brother for 489 designated area sponsorship by relative(489 visa).My question is for how long should i have been living in designated area before i can sponsor my brother.On a form 1227 it say i should be living currently in designated area which seems fine to me but also on the form it ask for my last 2 yr employment history.does it has to be in australia? Pls anybody who knows do share your knowledge about eligibility of being a sponsor. All replies are most welcome.

Thanks
Brizi

Yes that is right, to sponsor anyone for any visa you need to be resident in Australia for 2 years.
