Definitely becoming more common now. Worst case was a manager attacking me because my business makes money from visas when I was doing the 3 problem visas Pro Bono.
Resulted in a serious compliant and retraining from Canberra the following day for the manager and the case officers.
Some officers are very good and professional BUT
I suspect an instruction behind the scenes is responsible for the changing attitude of case officers and many ridiculous decisions.
Readers should note that MA has been notified that SBS television will be running a story about PIC 4020 issues tonight, 24 November 2017.
