Help me Achieve my Australian Dream

Hey,

My name is Bilal, Im a young immigrant in Australia. I have been here in this beautiful country since 2015, i came here on a student visa when i was 19. I was born in Pakistan.

This winter, i graduated from Griffith University in Brisbane, with a degree of Environmental Science.

My dream has always been to help make world a better place with my knowledge and skills. I have always wanted to dream of working in the environmental science field. I have been contributed my fair share of Australian taxes. I have paid over $150,000 in tuition fees alone for my education in Australia. Working while studying. I have made great compromises and sacrifices in my youth to follow my dreams.

I have always followed rules by the book and i have always been a contributing member to society. I have integrated in the Australian Society very well to the point where people always assume i was born in Australia given my accent, my way of life and way of thinking.

To follow my Australian Dream and be a contributing member of society, I applied for a post study work visa 485 after graduating. But to my shock, on 15th of August i received a letter of visa Refusal, Stating that my English Language results were uploaded two days after my visa was submitted.

To clarify, i would like to say, WHILE APPLYING FOR MY VISA, IT WAS IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND AN ENGLISH LANGUAGE APPOINTMENT AS ALL THE APPOINTMENTS WERE BOOKED AND EARLIEST ONE I COULD FIND WAS THE APPOINTMENT THE DAY AFTER I HAD SUBMITTED MY VISA APPLICATION.

WHILE APPLYING FOR MY VISA, I DID MENTION IT IN MY VISA APPLICATION THAT MY ENGLISH LANGUAGE TEST RESULTS WILL TAKE A FEW DAYS TO GIVE THE DEPARTMENT OF HOME AFFAIRS AN IDEA OF WHAT WAS HAPPENING.

Regardless my visa was refused because of this small mishap and it has given my alot of anxiety. I feel like im in a limbo while my dreams have crashing down right in front of me. I just finished uni and i wanted to spend this golden time on working my career searching for opportunities but im caught up in this unfortunate situation.

My home country has been in turmoil and going back home will force me to restart my life from scratch. Being away from home for 9 years is a long time. It is a third of my life.

I have until end of this month to apply for another Visa, after consulting the lawyer and immigration agents, i was advised i have until end of August 2024 which is by saturday this week, to apply for another 485 work visa otherwise after that date i would have to go to the tribunal last remaining option by 4th of August otherwise i would have to leave Australia. I have opted to reapply for a post study work 485 with the total cost being around $3,000. And im running short on funds because i used my savings for my previous visa application, i would like to request all of you to help me out in any way you can.

And this news of visa refusal has devasted me. It feels like my dreams have been crushed.

Lastly, I have never been the one to ask for help but i have always been the one to help others whenever i can. This time, I am reaching out to all of you, to help me follow my Australian dream. All im asking for is a fair go to achieve my dreams. Would appreciate the love and support.

Regards,

Bilal
