traceya89 Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 i have had my second year whv refused as it says i did not do the 88 days. i worked in northern territory in a hotel for over 88 days and uploaded payslips. i think the manager got confused as i was on uk whv and i think if u on usa whv you would have got the 2nd year. he says he will support my appeal as he was always told that this hotel work was eligible for 2nd year. can someone advise is it worth appealing and if i do, what is the link to the appeal process many thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toots Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 I thought you had to work the 88 days in specified work such as plant and animal cultivation (farming), forestry, fishing, mining and construction. Definitely the farming part. Hotel work is not included on the list. http://www.visabureau.com/australia/specified-work.aspx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ali Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 I don't think hospitality counts as specified work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rammygirl Posted January 24, 2019 Share Posted January 24, 2019 @wrussellI did think they had planned to extend the WHV to cover hospitality work in some regional areas at one time did this not happen? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rammygirl Posted January 26, 2019 Share Posted January 26, 2019 Ah that makes complete sense. To the OP I can’t really see any grounds for appeal it is your responsibility to check the terms of your visa and if uncertain seek expert advice, not from an employer who is unaware of the full details. I am surprised that this issue hasn’t arisen on here before tbh. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
