Hello everyone
I'm having a slight problem putting this into a question, can't quite seem to be able to put my words together, but here goes...
I've just changed my working visa from Specialist in Humanities to Instructor. My Specialist in Humanities was due to expire December 2022. Upon changing my visa status to Instructor I requested 5 years, kinda thinking...hoping I'd be offered 3 but disaster! They only gave me a 1 year visa and reduced my expiration date from December 2022 to May 2022 so essentially, I have less than 12 months already.
How common is it for this to happen? For example, are there cases where people need to renew on a year by year basis?
What could have caused this 1 year outcome?
Thanks
