Visa Cancelled – Refused

Appeals – Waivers – Character Issues 

Is your matter Complicated?
Do you have a Strict Time Limit?

The Department of Home Affairs has provisions to cancel visas in circumstances. For example, if a visa condition is breached, if an applicant has had, or currently has, a ‘Character Issue’, if an applicant provides a false or bogus document or for other numerous and various reasons.

In certain circumstances, when a visa is cancelled or refused, that decision can be appealed to the Administrative Appeals Tribunal (AAT) but this must be done within a strict timeframe.

The refusal notice will indicate whether a decision is reviewable and the timeframe in which the appeal needs to be made. If a valid appeal is made, the refusal decision will be considered based on the merits of the application and/or an applicant’s immigration status.

The AAT can substitute a new decision, vary the decision, remit the matter back to the Department of Home Affairs again or affirm the decision. The AAT also has the power to hand down a decision based on submission and the paperwork provided.

If you have had a visa refused, in certain circumstances, you may seek to have a review of the decision at the Administrative Appeals Tribunal (AAT) within the time limit for that appeal.

A quote from the AAT regarding a previous client we represented.

“Mr Kavanagh had helpfully submitted a detailed bundle of all relevant documents that included submissions and witness statements (the ‘Hearing Book’). Given the favourable material now before the Tribunal, a hearing is not required”.

It is critical to make review applications within the prescribed timeframe given as outlined in the communication a refused applicant receives from the Department of Home Affairs.

To be assessed as to the legality of a cancellation and any possible options for an appeal, or a review of the decision, please call us as soon as you receive that decision.

If you are in Australia and you have been issued a Notice of Intention to Cancel (NOICC) by the Department of Home Affairs there may be options available to you to prevent that cancellation from taking place, but each situation will need to be assessed on its merits.

Once again though, meeting the timeframe given, as outlined in the correspondence received from the Department of Home Affairs is critical, so once again, ensure you contact us immediately on receipt of that notification.

Visa Application Review

When you just want a professional’s second opinion.

Our Visa Application Review service is part of our desire to give our clients more choice and more convenience. The Application Review is prepared for you once you have completed your own visa application. We will critically analyise this and give you our professional feedback, by providing you with a detailed and visa-specific written report.

This analytical feedback is an assessment of your application and the support evidence you are providing, and a detailed analysis of any additional evidence that should be provided to enhance your application, and/or your sponsors (if applicable).

The cost of a Visa Application Review is great value and costs only $751. This could save you $$$$’s, because all Department of Immigration and Border Protection Visa Application fees are usually non-refundable, so investing in a ‘Visa Application Review’ will be very cost-effective.

DIY & Migration Checklists

Detailed and Visa Specific

For those who are making their own application and they just
need to know what support documents and evidence is required.

The Migration Checklist service is our most recent addition to the growing number of reasons more people are choosing ASC Migration. We understand that some people do want to do their own application, so save yourself time, as everything you need to know is right here and only a few clicks away.

For the very low fee of just AUD$376, we can provide you with specific instructions, guidance and comprehensive support document lists outlining all the evidence you currently must provide when making an application or submission. These lists ensure a complete enhancement of your matter and a greater chance it will be approved.

The Department’s application fees vary depending on the type of application or service you are applying for, and how many secondary applicants there are (if any). Consequently, these can amount to a very significant outlay, and please be aware that in most circumstances they are non-refundable if you make a mistake. A migration checklist, however, will ensure you provide the support documents currently required.

To order a Migration Checklist please CLICK HERE.  and follow the prompts to complete your order.

Remember:
The Department of Home Affairs does not offer refunds for incorrectly applied for, or rejected visa applications, which is why more people are choosing ASC Migration to enhance their application before its lodgment.
