Hi everyone,
I am posting this to gather people who under sponsor by their employer for 187/186 visa, but soon experienced unfair dismissal, redundancy and business closed down during visa procession.
First of all, I would like to share my personal experience here. please click the report from SBS, link
I have done nothing wrong but will soon have to leave this country without entitlement paid(13k). I turned to FEG for help, however, since I am not a citizen, I would not able to claim any entitlement guarantee from the government. I did try appeal to AAT, but, without a nomination approval, the decision of visa refusal is affirmed.
I believe long processing time of visa, and shifty business and the immigration system failed us. I have spoken to an officer of United Voice, and a journalist is interested in my story and who is in a similar situation to me, who are waiting to maybe to leave the country because sponsor visas have not worked out. The Union and the journalist want to know the extent that this is happening.
If you would like to voice for yourself, please leave a comment below. (you don't have to be named, can stay anonymous).
Thank you.
