It has been an emotional week for asylum seeker Reza Haidari, who has been excluded from a federal government decision allowing 19,000 refugees to apply for permanent visas.
Mr Haidari arrived in Australia by boat in 2012 after fleeing the war in Afghanistan, and currently resides in Sydney's north west.
He has been on a bridging visa for 11 years, which restricted his rights to travel and sponsor his family.
