Andrew helped me and my partner with my 820 visa. All we had to worry about was getting the information needed and he organized everything and made it so much less stressful. Whenever we had questions he’d always answer in a timely manner and would always clarify things for us. He’d also give advice on different aspects of the application. Overall it was a lot of stress lifted off my shoulders with the help of Andrew and the team.

My partner and I are really grateful for how James took our case in and reassured us through the process. He was very calm and thorough in explaining the process and gently guided us. We didn't expect the partner visa to come out this quickly, and with no doubt we'll continue to work with James to hold down a permanent visa for my partner. Thank you James, we appreciate the work!

AAT Appeal Process

Visa applications can be refused and visas may be cancelled for various reasons. Most matters can still be salvaged through merits reviews.

Your case should be thoroughly reviewed for you to make informed decision on next steps. You should only appeal the decision if you believe reasonable prospects exist for the decision to be overturned.

The statutory right for merits review usually lasts for 21 to 35 days. All merits review applications should be lodged within this limit.

The Tribunal is likely your last opportunity to have a visa to which you are entitled. Your submission should be written appropriately in sufficient details.

By this time, you should have provided all written materials. Your oral submissions at the hearing should be about adding credibility to your written submission. You should understand of ramifications of each verbal representation.

This is a highly technical area of law where migration agents cannot advise or act. You should find an error of law on the part of the Tribunal, which can be quite difficult.​

Appeal visa decisions of the Department

Despite a few exceptions, you will have a right to apply for review of a decision by the Department of Home Affairs. Different types of appeals can be considered in varying situations. Please see the below for further information that is relevant to your unique circumstances.
