Review Appeals

Things always do not go as planned. Sometimes visas get refused and it can be a very stressful situation. Everybody deserves a second chance. Almost all onshore refusals have appeal rights.  The AAT (Administrative Appeals Tribunal) is an independent merits review tribunal. It is independent from the Government and has the power to review various Government decisions. This means you can lodge an application to the AAT to review the decision made by the Case Officer. 

Once the AAT member reviews your application, he or she will do one of four things:

  1. Uphold: The AAT agrees with the Immigration Case Officer and your visa is refused

  2. Remit: The AAT sends your case back to Immigration for a different Case Officer to assess it. In almost all cases, Immigration will reverse the decision and grant the visa. You will be refunded 50% of the AAT fee

  3. Overturn: The AAT overturns Immigration’s decision and grants the visa. You will be refunded 50% of the AAT fee

  4. No jurisdiction: The delegate does not have the power to review the original decision

VISACRAFT also deals in review appeals at Administrative Appeals Tribunal (AAT). 

When it comes to appeals, time really is of the essence.

Australian Citizenship Application

VISACRAFT also deals in Citizenship applications. 
You must make a valid application for Australian citizenship. If you currently hold a permanent residency visa and wish to apply via that pathway, you’ll need to meet the general residency requirement associated with a citizenship application.
To meet the requirement, you must have been living here for at least four years on a valid visa (a minimum of one year as a PR). Additionally, you must not have spent more than 12 months outside Australia during the last four years and you must not have spent longer than 90 days outside the country in the year preceding your application.
We can help you calculate whether you meet the citizenship residence requirement.
An important part of the application process is the Citizenship Test. Introduced in 2007, this compulsory test must be passed in order to gain citizenship. The test consists of multiple choice questions.

Resident Return Visas

As an Australian permanent resident, you have the right to remain in Australia indefinitely. What many people do not realise, however, is that a permanent residency visa comes with an initial five-year travel facility. After the five year travel facility has expired,  you will no longer be able to leave and return freely unless you become an Australian citizen or apply for a new travel facility. This is where Subclass 155 & 157 come into the picture.
The 155 RRV can be issued for one year or five years. The travel validity period granted depends on your individual circumstances.
In order to be eligible for a five-year RRV, you’ll need to have lived in Australia for at least two years (730 days total) out of the last five on a permanent visa. If you stay less than two years and you have substantial ties to Australia, you may be eligible for one year RRV. A three-month visa may be granted if, you left Australia shortly after your permanent residency was granted.
