Visa Refusal & Cancellation Appeals

Sometimes things don't go to plan. Applying for a visa is certainly not a guaranteed process, which is why applicants of certain visas have the option to review their visa refusals or visa cancellations to the Migration & Refugee Division of the Administrative Appeals Tribunal if they are not satisfied with the decision.

Accordingly, Visa Refusals and cancellations can be caused by many different factors depending on the visa criteria and Government Policy relevant to the specific visa in question. Importantly, engaging a migration lawyer from Salvo Migration to represent you throughout the AAT appeal will ensure that you give yourself every opportunity for success, in what can be for some, a very daunting and emotionally stressful process. 

Importantly, should you engage us to represent you for your AAT appeal we will:
  1. Provide a fixed quote for our legal representation.
  2. Submit your AAT appeal within the legislated time period.
  3. Request all documents held by the Department of Immigration and Border Protection in relation to your Visa Refusal or cancellation to get the best understanding of the facts of the case.
  4. Review all documentation and information in order to formulate the best legal argument addressing the reasons for refusal or cancellation.
  5. Develop written submissions with reference to the Migration Regulations and Migration Act to be provided to the MRT prior to the hearing.
  6. Should you wish us to, we will attend and represent you during the AAT hearing.
  7. Attend to any MRT requests for information before and after the hearing until a decision has been made.
  8. We will be there for support and answer any questions you have along the way, after all, we are on your side!
