Australia Visa Refusal
Australian Immigration department handles several thousand visa applications on monthly basis. Hundreds of these applications get denied for several reasons. Most applicants get rejected either because of the incompletion of the application form or because of applicants not meeting the eligibility criteria.
Here are all the possible scenarios for Australia visa rejection:
Applicants failed to provide information in support of the claims
Applicants failed to meet Australia’s health and character requirements
Applicants provided false information
Applicants did not the meet any condition concerned with the previous visa
Applicants whose visa got rejected because of an intended unlawful activity (falsification of information), will be prohibited from applying for an Australia visa altogether.
Other than that, applicants whose visa got rejected for other reasons may apply for the same visa under a different category for which they have better chances of approval. Additionally, candidates confident that they meet the eligibility criteria properly can have their visa application reviewed through one of the following government bodies:
Merits Review Tribunal (MRT): MRT reviews most of the cases of visa refusal and cancellation, except Protection visa and cancellation under section 501 of Migration act. It also handles the cases of sponsorship and nomination cancellation and refusal.
Refugee Review Tribunal (RRT): This government body reviews the cancellation and refusal of a Protection visa. Only the person who is subject to the decision can apply to have his visa reviewed by RRT.
Administrative Appeals Tribunal (AAT): The AAT handles the cases of visa cancellation and refusal based on character consideration.
Here it is important to note that not all visa rejection cases are reviewable. Only those that are found to have a relevant case will be reviewed. Also, there are time limits to apply for a visa decision review, which are mentioned in applicants’ decision notification letter. Additionally,it depends on your visa category which review-body you should apply to.
