Our professional legal team specializes in providing comprehensive assistance and expert guidance for individuals facing visa refusal in Australia. We offer a multifaceted approach to address visa refusals, including lodging merits review applications to the Administrative Appeals Tribunal (AAT) and, if necessary, lodging judicial review applications to the Federal Court of Australia. Here’s how our team can assist you:
1. Initial Assessment and Consultation: Our legal experts begin by thoroughly reviewing your case to understand the reasons for the visa refusal and assess the available options for appeal. We offer a detailed consultation to discuss your circumstances, gather information, and develop a strategic plan for moving forward.
2. Merits Review Application to AAT: If your visa application has been refused, you have the right to lodge a merits review application to the AAT. Our legal team will guide you through the process, including:
- Preparing comprehensive submissions addressing the grounds for refusal.
- Gathering additional evidence, documents, and supporting materials to strengthen your case.
- Formulating persuasive arguments to present your case effectively during the AAT hearing.
- Representing you during the AAT hearing and cross-examining witnesses if necessary.
3. Judicial Review Application to the Federal Court: If the AAT upholds the visa refusal or if there are legal errors in the AAT’s decision-making process, you may choose to lodge a judicial review application to the Federal Court of Australia. Our legal team assists you with:
- Preparing the application and drafting detailed grounds for review.
- Ensuring that all legal and procedural requirements are met.
- Representing you in court, presenting legal arguments, and advocating for your case.
