Ways to avoid the long wait
 
Here is a copy of an extract of Yahoo.com.au website today.


An immigration officer told a woman she had to have sex with him if he was to approve a visa for her boyfriend, a court has heard.

Afshin Abolfotouh, 41, was jailed for 18 months in Brisbane District Court on Monday over indecent proposals he made to 27-year-old Chinese national Qiao Liyuan in late 2007.

The court was told Abolfotouh was working in the Department of Immigration and Citizenship when Ms Qiao contacted him about an application she had made to obtain a visa for her boyfriend.

Abolfotouh propositioned her over the phone, telling her the application was weak but that he could ensure it was approved if she had sex with him.

The court was told he continued to make contact with her for more than a month before they finally arranged to meet at her home in Brisbane's south.

When Abolfotouh arrived at her house he was arrested by police, who had been monitoring phone calls between the pair after Ms Qiao complained about the handling of her application.

The court was told Abolfotouh, who had come to Australia as an Iranian immigrant in 2004, was suspended from his job and has since resigned.

Abolfotouh pleaded guilty to one count of receiving a corrupt payment.

He was sentenced to 18 months jail but will be released on a good behaviour bond after serving three months.

I don't think I could have sex with someone who's name I couldn't pronounce:blink:. Good on her for calling the police in though, I should think a few people would be too scared to in case it stuffed up their application.

I hope her boyfriend got the visa at the end though.
