Hi mate, Getting in touch with you after reading your post of getting exemption to travel. Unfortunately, we are in same boat and got stuck in India with current 489visa expiring on 26th May and our 887 is already in process. Can you plz help me with few questions before i apply for exemption, 1. Are u an immediate family member of an Australian citizen or permanent resident or are a New Zealand citizen usually resident in Australia. 2. if u dont mind could you please tell me what was the reason you mention for getting exemption as it says on web that Case information: why this case should be considered for Commissioner discretion/exemption. Appreciate your help, unfortunately this season has been so rough for us that i got email from my employer this morning that i have to stand down from my job too. thx
