Afghan refugee may lose permanent residency in Australia – for supplying identity document
Exclusive: Hazara man faces potential deportation after home affairs told him a document it asked him to obtain for his citizenship application could not be verified
A permanent resident of Australia – an Afghan refugee who has lived in Brisbane for a decade – has been threatened with having his visa cancelled, and possible deportation, over an identity document the Australian government asked him to produce.
Nemat (not his real name) had been asked to provide a taskira – Afghanistan’s primary identity document – as part of his citizenship application, his lawyer, Atika Hussain, said. But he was then told his visa would be cancelled because the document, provided by the Afghan embassy in Canberra, could not be verified and was therefore suspected of being counterfeit.
