Visa Refusals
A visa refusal is when a submitted visa application is declined by the Department of Immigration & Border Protection. There are a number of reasons why a visa may be refused such as missing evidence, ineligibility, health or character issues and fraudulent documents. A visa refusal can be appealed against at the AAT by a registered migration agent.

Requests For More Information
Case officers usually request more information when they have insufficient evidence or the application is not complete. Unless action is taken there is a high likelihood of a visa refusal. Using a migration agent, with experience in the specific visa you are applying for, can help you submit the strongest application possible. If in applicant fails to prove the necessary legislative requirements or documentation then a refusal is the most likely outcome.
