Quisiera comenzar esta descripcion de solicitud de visa humanitaría, describiendo los motivos que nos trajo originalmente a Australia en el año ______. En ese momento, teniamos como meta aprender inglés lo mejor posible y cursar estudios superiores, para asi poder competir en un mercado laboral competitivo, en el cual el inglés era la base fundamental. Al terminar nuestros estudios teniamos como meta regresar a Venezuela, y comenzar a trabajar para trasnacionales que hacian vida en la economia venezolana. Durante esos primeros realizamos visitas a Venezuela, para vistar a nuestros padres y atender asuntos personales. Nos formamos en el inglés y mi esposa curso estudios de postgrado para ampliar su carrera original. Realizamos varios cursos de inglés en Universidades en _________. En esos primeros años de estudios, mi esposa queda embarazada, situación que consolido nuestro matrimonio, y nos impulso a trabajar más duro para poder seguirnos formando mejor, y brindarle un provenir mejor a nuestro hijo. Sin embargo, comenzamos a notar que la economia en nuestro país comenzo a sufrir un declive vertiginoso, para ese momento pensabamos que sería algo temporal, y que la situación economica y politica mejoraría pronto. Jamás hubieramos pronosticado lo que vendría en estos dos ultimos años. Nuestros padres comenzaron a informarnos sobre la consolidación del comunismo por parte del presidente actual de Venezuela, y como se inicio una ola de ataque desproporcionado contra las empresas privadas, y el abandono en inversiones en las empresas propias del Estado Venezolano. Ataques contra todo aquel que no compartiera el ideal comunista-castrista. Encarcelamiento, desapariciones, bloqueos de cuentas, por mencionar solo algunas cosas. De igual manera, nuestros padres comienzan a contarnos como el Estado Venezolano comenzo a quebras las empresas privadas, trasnacionales, a limitar el acceso a las divisas extranjeras, para asi tener un control de todo el aparato economico de Venezuela. Esto trajo como grave consecuencias la desaparición de productos básicos de la alimentación, se disparan los precios de los pocos productos alimenticios, las medicinas desaparecen del mercado motivado a la falta de divisas extranjeras. Todo esto ha llevado al colapso de una sociedad, que en algún momento fue prospera y productiva (así la habiamos dejado y en función de eso habiamos realizado nuestros planes en el futuro)
En este año 2018, mi familia viaja a Venezuela, debido a que mi abuela se había puesto muy delicada de salud y quería vernos, especialmente a su nierto que aún no lo conocia. Adicionalmente necesitaban nuestro apoyo económico para poder comprale los medicamentos que con tanta urgencia necesitaba. Nuestra llegada a Venezuela el día _________ comenzó nuestra tragedía. El primer obstaculo que enfrentamos con la guardía nacional, y la nueva policia migratoria creada para responder a controles politicos del gobierno venezolano, fue con nuestro hijo, que
al ver que tenía documentos australianos, querian dinero y todo aquello de valor que teniamos para dejarlo entrar al país. De lo contrario no los iban a quitar y deportar sin nostros. Esto nos llevo a la desesperación, y tener que enfrentarnos a ellos. No nos quedo otro remedio que entregar los poco que habiamos reunido en dinero para el tratamiento de mi abuela. Estando ya dentro del país, tuvimos que vender lo poco que nos quedaba alla para poder asistir a mi abuela en su recuperación. Tuvimos que vender nuestro apartamento y los inmuebles que era nuestro único patrimonio que teniamos para nuestro regreso, y asi ofrecerle a nuestro hijo un futuro y un techo estable. Padecimos situaciones y dificultades barbaras para poder hacer un mercado completo, ya que muchos productos no se consiguen, y los pocos que hay cuesta diez veces más de lo que cuestan en cualquier economia sana. Estando en Venezuela, nuestro hijo se enferma por el cambio de clima. Tuvimos que recorrer casi tres dias cientos de farmacias para poder adquirir los medicamentos sin ningún éxito. Solo logramos obternos por medio de organizaciones de ayuda proveniente de España, y contactos entre amistades y vecinos. Para mayor gravedad de la situación en Venezuela, por haber entrado a la plataforma del banco donde tengo algunos ahorros en Venezuela desde Australia, mis cuentas fueron bloqueadas y expropiadas por el Estado Venezolano. Cuando fuimos al banco a revisar porque no podiamos usar las cuentas, los funcionarios del banco nos informaron que esas son las nuevas medidas del estado, y que debia ir hasta el Banco Central de Venezuela (entidad encargada de controlar todo referente a materia bancaria). Al llegar hasta alla, fuimos objeto de burlas, ataque, maltrato verbal y humillaciones por no ser parte del partido politico del Gobierno, es decir, por no ser comunista-castrista. No pudimos desbloquear ni recuperar nuestros ahorros. Debido a todo esto, mi esposa y yo decidimos que debiamos regresar a Australia. Estando ya en el aeropuerto para bordar el Avión, la nueva policia emigratoria venezolana, nos detienen para revisar todas nuestras maletas, y declarar porque nos ibamos del país. Al explicarle que teniamos tiempo ya viviendo, estudiando y trabajando en Australia, los funcionarios comienzan a burlarse de nostros y a humillanos llamandonos “vende patria”. Y una vez más nos solicitan dinero si queriamos salir. Le explicamos que no teniamos dinero alguno. Que solo contabamos con nuestro pasaje de avión. Esta respuesta produjo ira en ellos, hasta el punto que nos quitaron los boletos aereos haciendo que perdieramos el avión. Gracias a la intervención de un conocido en el aeropuerto que logro convencer a los funcionarios emigratorios que nos regresaron los boletos y pasaportes. Sin embargo, ya habiamos perdido el avión. Tuvimos que vender le poco oro que tenimos escondido para poder pagar la multa por a perdida del avión y asi poder salir de Venezuela.
Es por todos estos elementos explicados arriba, y por el temor de no poder brindarle a nuestro hijo una estabilidad emocional, economica, de salud y alimenticia, que nos vemos en la necesidad de solicitar esta visa humanitaria. Y asi poder esperar un tiempo, para poder definir un plan de trabajo para poder enfrentar esta grave situación que vivimos mi esposa, hijo y mi persona.
I would like to start this description of a humanitarian visa application, describing the reasons that originally brought us to Australia in the year ______. At that time, we aimed to learn English as best as possible and pursue higher education, in order to compete in a competitive labor market, in which English was the fundamental basis. At the end of our studies we had as goal to return to Venezuela, and to start working for trasnational companies that made life in the Venezuelan economy. During those first years, we visited Venezuela, in order to visit our parents and attend to some personal matters. We trained in English and my wife took postgraduate studies to expand her original career. We do several English courses in Universities in _________. In those first years of studies, my wife got pregnant, a situation that strengthened our marriage, and encouraged us to work harder and to continue studying more, and to provide a better future for our son. However, we began to notice that the economy in our country began to suffer a vertiginous decline, for that moment we thought it would be temporary, and that the economic and political situation would soon improve. We would never have predicted what would come in these last two years. Our parents began to inform us about the consolidation of communism by the current president of Venezuela, and how a wave of disproportionate attacks against private companies began, and the abandonment of investments in the companies of the Venezuelan State. Attacks against anyone who does not share the Communist-Castro ideal. Imprisonment, disappearances, account blocks, just to mention a few things. In the same way, our parents begin to tell us how the Venezuelan State began to break private, transnational companies, to limit access to foreign currencies, in order to have control over the entire Venezuelan economic apparatus. This brought about as serious consequences the disappearance of basic food products, the prices of the few food products soar, the medicines disappear from the market motivated by the lack of foreign currency. These led to the collapse of a society, which at one time was prosperous and productive (we had left it that way and based on that we had made our plans in the future) In this year 2018, my family traveled to Venezuela, due to the fact that my grandmother had become very ill and wanted to see us, especially her grandson who she hasn’t seen him yet. Additionally, they needed our financial support to be able to buy the medicines that they so urgently needed. Our tragedy began from the very first momento We stepped in Venezuela. The first obstacle we faced was with the national guard, and the new immigration police created to respond to political controls of the Venezuelan government. They tried to take our son away just because he had Australian documents. They asked us for money and everything of
value if we wanted to keep our son with us. Otherwise, they would deport our son without us. This drove us crazy. We had no choice but to give them the few money we had with us. Money that was going to be used for our grandmother’s treatment. Once we were inside of the country, we had to sell some properties we had left there in order to help my grandmother in her recovery. We had to sell our apartment and the real estate that was our only patrimony that we had for our return, and thus we could offer our son a future and a stable roof. We had to face the reality that there was no food available and medicine. And the food that was available was too expensive. While in Venezuela, our son got sick from the change in climate. We had to walk into many drugstores for almost three days in order to purchase the drugs without any success. We only obtained the medicine through aid organizations from Spain, and contacts between friends and neighbors. For greater seriousness of the situation in Venezuela, I checked my bank account while I was in Asutralia, just to make sure I had some money I could use there. However, the Venezuela State has blocked my bank account because they had a new policy, which stated that any banck account checked outside of Venezuela, must be blocked inmediately. We did not know that then. When we went to the bank to check because we could not use the accounts, the bank officials informed us that these are the new policy of the state, and that it should go to the Central Bank of Venezuela (entity in charge of controlling everything related to banking matters). When we got there, we were the object of ridicule, attack, verbal abuse and humiliation for not being part of the Government's political party, that is, for not being a Castro-communist. We could not unlock or recover our savings. Because of all this, my wife and I decided that we should return to Australia. When we were in the airport to embroider the plane, the new Venezuelan emigrant police stopped us to check all our suitcases, and interrogated us in order to explain why why we were leaving the country. By explaining that we had time already living, studying and working in Australia, the officials began to make fun of us by calling us "traitors." And once again they asked us for money if we wanted to leave the country. We explained that we did not have any money. We only had our plane ticket. This response made them anger, to the point that air tickets were taken away from us, causing us to miss the plane. Thanks to the intervention of an acquaintance at the airport who managed to convince the immigration officials, we could get back our tickets and passports. However, we had already lost the plane. We had to sell the little gold we had hidden to pay the fine for the loss of the plane and thus be able to leave Venezuela.
It is for all these elements explained above, and for the fear of not being able to offer our son emotional, economic, health and nutritional stability, that we are in need of applying for this humanitarian visa. And so I can wait a while, to be able to define a work plan to be able to face this serious situation that my wife, son and my person live.
