Hello Tien,

There have been some instances where employees have been bullied because their boss knows they have leverage over them through these types of visas (conditional visas). This behaviour is also exacerbated by workers showing fear rather than standing up for themselves.

First your health must be a priority not your visa or employment, i understand that this is not easy for most people but you are in luck because Australia has a strong and independent Judicial system that does not tolerate bullying anywhere including the workplace. The FWC is Australia's national workplace tribunal that regulates employees and employers. You should direct all concerns, complaints or unfair dismissals to them regardless of your visa the law doesn't discriminate against employees based on their work status in Australia as long as they are legally allowed to work. 

You shouldn't resign without documenting what's going on and have at least some evidence of workplace harassment or bullying. The best way to document and have evidence of such events is to contact the FWC and make a formal complaint if need be. With such evidence it becomes hard for DHA to cancel your visa because you can show that you had a compelling reason to resign. You can also visit a Psychologist or a doctor if the matter is serious enough which can also be used as evidence. With that said i would advice showing strength while remaining composed and respectful towards your employer.

However your employer sending you to another venue because you think he doesn't like you ....doesn't seem like a compelling reason to me to breach your visa conditions. If its just a matter of not liking each other than that is not serious enough and you should wait until your ceremony or the 24 month mark whichever comes first. 

Take care

I got injured from workplace few months ago and was taking workcover. However, their(workcover) doctor said my injury is not from work although it was during covid lockdown everyone was literally only working and staying at home. Well good luck but the systems here(governmental) seem doesn't smoothly work. don't trust what government advertising too much. Here is not Germany or South Korea.

Hi All,

Are people from outside of NSW allowed to virtual citizenship ceremony?

Hey don't push them you said before we can wait didn't you? changed mind?

Did anyone got a ceremony invitation for 18th of Feb in Cairns city?

Even my friend who got his approval on 3rd of Nov 2021 didn't get letter..

Thanks for the overall timeline

Oh hey guys,

I got my citizenship approval on 20th of November 2020 in Cairns city QLD,

Although there are many people who are waiting for this way longer than I am, I feel a quite stressful haha. (This is my personal right? :D)

This is because I postponed all my money using (buying house, car and more) after the citizenship ceremony.  

My car has a big trouble and really want to move my place so this time giving me a massive stresses haha. 

Is there any news (invitation letter) for the people who got their file approved between September to December last year?

I found that the ceremony letter is regarding the approval date rather than applying date is it collect?

Cheers waiters!

I have been following this forum for a while and I can't still understand what it is with some people here?

what kind of expectations do you have when the Doha is pretty clear saying that processing time is between 23and29 months? everything else that comes before that consider yourself LUCKY.

No to mention that people here keep calling obsessively and encouraging other to call Doha and council when in the approval letter they discourage you on doing so.

Seriously.

 

I think DOHA are not updating the time at the moment. Actually the processing time is less than 1 year in most states?

In addition, maybe you are not in hurry reason why u are here?  Have a good day.

Why are you worried about them being on holidays? They are entitled to holidays as well.

I really don't understand people's 'concerns' sometimes.

Maybe Ding has his/her own story and he/she didn't complain about it. They surely have a right to go for holiday but I also understand about Ding. It can be about job, buying house or studying. I also understand you that can't understand him/her but what reason that you are showing your negative opinion to that worrying person? It is scratching 2nd time the person's inside. This comment is literally uncomfortable to see. 

Hi waiters,

I got my citizenship approval on 20th of Nov 2020.

And still really really really waiting for my ceremony date. 

I actually sent 5 e-mails to them that I really wanna take a online ceremony within this year as i wanted to have a stress-free christmas and new year,

but they even reply.

How long in advance do they send the invitation for ceremony? anyone has idea?

I applied citizenship on online but they sent me in normal post and it delivered in 2weeks after i already checked on the portal....Just meaningless...

마침내 오늘 멜버른에서 시험을 치렀습니다. 신청 날짜는 실제로 관련이 없으며 두 번 이상 연기되었습니다.

애플리케이션이 여전히 '수신 됨'으로 표시됩니다. 내가 사는 곳에서 의회는 1 월부터 더 적은 수로 6-8 주마다 대면식을 재개하고 있습니다. 그래서 나는 나에게 좋은 '호주의 날'의식을 기대하지 않습니다. 나는 그 특별한 날이 축하 할 가치가 없다고 생각합니다.

Don't even expect they will consider our feeling. 

I really wanted to happily take online ceremony but some reason they removed the option and asked people to go back to the queue lol

Citizenship App: 10 Sep 20
Test Invitation: 2 Nov 20
Original Test Date: 25 Nov 20

Re-scheduled Date: 20 Nov 20
Approval: In 15min after test
Ceremony: I sent 5 emails that i really want to get a ceremony within 2020 since my citizenship approved as i had a plan to buy a new house early next year with the government scheme, however couldn't get any reply ummm...... I just gave up buying a house in Cairns... 

Sorry to the long waiters that it sounds like complaining, however i saw a lot of people who got their citizenship approval in Dec. 20 already finished their ceremony...

Come on Queensland... be flexible..............................
