    Dear Mark

    In fact I found a dairy farm in Victoria-Australia almost a year ago and the owner contacted me and he promised to sponsor me and he found an agency to do my visa processing.

    I contacted to agency and he advised me about what documents I should collect and provide.

    I provided collected all the necessary papers and documents and unfortunately I waited 7 months.

    The agency decided about what type of visa would suit for me was Skilled Worker Visa 482 and DAMA programme. Because I am older than 45 years old.

    I talked to farm owner and asked why it would take long time and he said that he would have had nothing to do about taking long time approving visa process.

    Anyway, after all of this, one day the owner sent me whatsapp message saying that I am sorry Kemal I will no longer sponsor you due to some circumstances changing in farm.

    When I read that message,I was shocked and didn’t believe it because I waited almost 7 months without work and jobless.

    Also during our conversation in telephone, he was mentioning recruiting other national candidates dairy farm hands such as from Ireland,Japan or the other national.

    I think the reason or reasons why he gave up sponsoring me was either he found another candidate or he was so bored and fed up with waiting long time visa approval .

    I know seek.com – jora job – gumtree -workforce australia and most websites from Australia and i applied many many dairy farm hand positions but all of them ask ,” must be located in Australia” or what are your working rights in Australia?

    I do not know what to do to be honest.

    Hi Mark Thank you for your help and advice.

    I have had a look at the websites and visited them and I sent directly my resume to some dairy jobs vacancies into direct owner of the job advertisement.

    But they always ask ” you must have all working rights in Australia or you must have full working visa.

    When I see these questions, I am always stuck in very hard position, if I can not find a job or any sponsor in Australia then how could I get working rights or working visa, I think I must be located in Australia but how can I be located in Australia, no matter what happens Australia government wants a visa from me. Do you think I should come to Australia with tourist visa after that I could change the visa status such as DAMA or working visa.

    Anyway, hopefully and I am hoping that I will have some reply from my recent applications

    but on the other hand it seems tome that they will ask me again classical questions such as you must be located in Australia, you must have all working rights and full working visa…
