Which decisions can be reviewed?
PLEASE NOTE that not all decisions can be reviewed. The Migration Act specifies which decisions can be reviewed. We recommend that you contact us to discuss your particular issue as soon as possible:
Generally the following decisions can be reviewed (non exhaustive list):
- Refusing a visitor’s visa to a person who is overseas and has Australian relatives who are referred to in the application.
- Some decisions about the assessment of points.
- Some decisions refusing a visa to a person who is already in Australia;
- Refusing a visa to a person who is overseas and has an Australian sponsor.
Review kinds
This means that the decision of the body making the decision can be looked at on its "merits", rather than the lawfulness of the decision. In other words the person seeking the review believes the decision of the body was wrong, not necessarily a breach of their powers under the law.
Unlike "merits review", this is where a Court looks at the way on which an administrative body or Tribunal exercises its power under the law.
In some instances you can also seek review by the Administrative Appeal Tribunal or ministerial intervention. Our Migration agents and lawyers are highly skilled in preparing and drafting legal arguments on your behalf - if you have a valid claim.
