Our migration consultants deal with thousands of visa applicants from around the globe, most of whom want to settle in Australia. In this exclusive guide, we will reveal the 5 most common mistakes people make and how to avoid them.
So here are 5 mistakes that could get your visa rejected – and how to avoid them.
Making mistakes when applying by yourself
Many candidates have visa refusals due to procedural errors when they attempt to do applications on their own, and as harsh as it may sound, there will be no refund of visa application fees even if it is an honest mistake. In some cases, even after an application is refused, the applicant will no longer be able to meet the requirements and will not be able to re-apply for the same visa.
Our solution: Here at AMS we take care of your entire matter as your legal representative & ensure full compliance with migration policies and regulations. Therefore, it is important that we get your visa application right the first time by preparing the best possible application.
Not using a reputable MARA registered migration consultant
There are many ‘migration agents’ who claim to be experts and charge ridiculously high fees in exchange for wrong information.
Our solution: All migration consultants at Australia Migration Services are MARA registered and led by our highly experienced Principal Consultant, Joseph Yao, who has been in the migration field for over 13 years.
Lack of preparation time for visa application
Most people think that they can start preparing for their application when there are only a few days left before their visas expires, however, it usually requires much more time. Proper preparation can take months – Skills assessment alone can take months for an outcome.
After getting a positive skills assessment & submitting an EOI,
applicants might still need to wait for months before getting a
visa invitation. By the time they get invited, it is very likely that
their current substantive visas have expired and they have to
leave the country.
Our solution: We will plan out a tailored migration pathway – advising you of the expected time frame and procedures so that you fully understand your next course of action. In the event you cannot apply for your visa in time before your current visa expires, we will advise you of your legal
obligations so that you do not become an illegal immigrant and
then recommend the best pathway to proceed.
Providing inadequate information
Your visa application can be denied if you fail to provide us with information you may think is trivial, such as a criminal conviction.
Our solution: Our visa department will be reviewing every document to make sure that they are properly drafted in the right format. Staff will be individually cross checking each document to avoid errors.
Relying on unreliable sources
We have dealt with many clients who have outlined one common major mistake they had made – relying on outdated/unreliable sources simply to avoid paying migration fees. As a result, it comes as no surprise that these individuals have wasted their time and hopes!
Our solution: Fully understand your situation during the consultation and provide the most up-to-date advice. After engaging with our services, we will notify you about the latest migration news from our detailed newsletters.
