LONG and complicated story, it is my fault but hoping that I could stand a chance, please advise......
- Applied for Temp graduate visa in Jan 12, rang DIAC in Apr 12 to check progress, they advised that I didn't have to take medical test etc. because I won't get a CO allocated within 1 year.
- In about 8 mths, received email to provide documentation. However, email was sent to old mail box which had about 2000+ emails so I didn't actually saw the email 20+days later. Replied them to explain that it was my old email account and request change of email address and extension.........no reply at all
- Thought it would take them a while to reply, and started to prepare documentation, suddenly in October, refusal of visa
- Applied for MRT, again DIAC advised that I had to prepare all the documentation before lodging MRT...(Wrong info again), so I waited for the last minute...21 business days....in fact should have been 21 calender days.
- No jurisdiction from MRT.
-Options are: apply another PR visa such as partner visa or write a letter to the Minister
- Thinking of writing a letter to the Minister for leniency, so that he would intervene and let me re-apply. etc
-In the letter, admit that it was my fault, explain the whole process, and express who it would affect my if I leave aus
