No option to even appeal this visa and apply for a 1st working holiday again? lol (wanting to exhaust all options). Failing this, I might just have to try to get a New Zealand visa instead... :yes:

Hey folks, I am just looking some advice really. In May 2010 I went to Australia with a WHV. I had booked through a group planned thing in Sydney. I only stayed in the country for 2 and a half months, and travelled the East Coast (best experience ever!!!). Looking back now, I know the WHV wasn't the appropriate visa for me. I would love to go back to experience working in Australia and living there for a year. Does anyone know of any exceptions to the WHV requirments? I have my flights in and out of the country back in 2010 and I have all my bank statements that prove that I didn't work during my time there. Is there any way I could be able to follow and exceptions process or even appeal the decision? Or is the reality just that I won't be able to have this experience because of my last visit? Any advice would be really welcome! Thanks, Stephen
