Waited for 18 months for visa.
Waited for 21 months for reopening of borders of Australia.
During the interim, visa got expired.
We've invested more than three years into it. What's our fault?
Please reinstate #476visa@7NewsAustralia@ScottMorrisonMP@AlexHawkeMP@BhagwantMann
@EngAustralia the voice of the engineers in Australia has called upon the Government and the honorable minister @AlexHawkeMP to extend the same treatment to #476visa holders. Engineering is on top of the PMSOL list. @NickMcKim#Auspol.
#476visa
We did no crime other than applying for SC 476 visa.
But why are we punished brutally with no guilt on us?
We need justice @AlexHawkeMP
Treat us equally.
provide replacement visa for expired 476 visa holders similar to SC 485 visa holders
#476visa
Justice delayed is Justice denied.
Kindly Act Quick
We have already been through a lot in these two long years.
Pls provide replacement visa for my expired SC 476 just like it's done for SC 485.
We will support ur economy
@AlexHawkeMP
@AlexHawkeMP its time to fix this issue and prove that you are treating everyone fairly. We request you to #restore expired #476visa
We are requesting justice. Since you had restore other visas and WHY NOT THIS 476?
#JusticeFor476
Stand with us for justice 🙂
@AlexHawkeMP
you amended migration policies for 485 visas. They can get extensions & apply for a 2nd time (originally it’s given once in a lifetime), #476visa was affected the same way, extend our visas too #auspol
Please don't have double standards.
@ReconnectAust
#476visa@AlexHawkeMP
I applied for the visa and YOU gave me the grant.
But due to covid ,YOU closed the borders and now YOU have opened the border.
Now YOU r in the position sir to give us a replacement visa.
We have lost our lifetime opportunity.
It’s important when an institution like
@EngAustralia
acknowledges the importance of #476visa holders to the engineering sector in Australia.
@AlexHawkeMP
& The Department of Home Affairs must act quickly to restore expired visa that were affected by the pandemic #auspol
I was one of thousands engineers who has expired #476visa due to Australian border closure, without a fault of my own.
With close to 5 years of experience, I could easily full fill the skill shortage in Australia if
@ausgov#restore476 visas.
#auspol#AusPol2022#auspoll
It’s absurd that @AlexHawkeMP & his department pick and choose when it comes to extending visas that were affected by Covid19. #476visa holders were excluded even though we’re going to be contributing to the economy and the engineering sector in particular #auspol
