VIC Victorian state nomination commitment

[sarathkumar]

What happens if one gets Victorian state nomination and got 190 Visa ..but not able to find a job offer in Victoria within two year of compulsory stay in the nominated occupation? Is it possible to go to other state if a job is offered there without completing 2 years of compulsory stay in the nominated state? Your input is much appreciated.
Thanks

I have seen a few who have done that and so far no repercussion is heard. Some of the migration lawyers try to say that this criterion is not legally enforceable, but when I contacted a couple of states they mentioned otherwise.

So, the best thing, in my opinion, would be if you can get an exemption from the state.

Do you know by any chance the VIC state can give the release letter...I mean under what circumstances they usually do this??

I don't know if they provide any such. You can tell them you are in hardship because you can't find a job in-state.
