Immigration lawyers Sydney

The immigration law may change from 18^th November 2017 in a move that targets falsehood and deception in the immigration process.

Previously there was a suspension on VISA applications for anybody who had provided false or misleading information to any immigration department in the last 12 months. This looks to now be extended to a ten years ban.

This ten-year ban effectively locks applicants out of the country. Ten years is a long time to wait, so most applicants will probably not reapply for a VISA once they have been banned.

If the supplied VISA information contains an honest mistake or is the result of a misunderstanding there are legitimate grounds for an appeal. But this appeal is time-consuming and it is sometimes difficult to prove the honest intentions behind a bad mistake.

It is best to have an immigration lawyer handle all VISA information. This prevents both time-consuming honest mistakes and false information that effectively ruins chances for immigration.

It is important to note the strictness expected of all immigration information. Even falsely claiming not to have previously applied for a VISA can lead to a ten years ban on reapplication.

Always tell your immigration agent if you have applied for a VISA before.

An immigration professional helps to avoid so many potential mistakes.

It is important to supply accurate information to your immigration agent as mistaken or dishonest information can effectively prevent you from gaining a VISA.

• VISAs can be far more complex than they appear. Many people, especially students, lodge the application without realizing the complexities of the issues. They can end up applying for the wrong stream and being refused, or ending up with a shortened stay. Else they can miss key time of application requirements, such as mot providing evidence of English language testing. A late addition cannot be fixed after a certain date. A migration agent has the right checklist for every type of VISA an Stream.
• Migration rules change constantly. Last year’s option may no longer apply as a demand in labour may have become a surplus.  Furthermore, few realize the different states have different migration plans; some potential migrants apply to one state with expectations based on the rules of a neighbouring state.

Recently the partners VISA requirements changed, with paper applications replaced by online applications.

• It can difficult to deal with the department of Immigration. The large number of immigrant applications means that most individuals are dealt with by internet communication only and rarely over the phone.

Applications are processed by a file examined by a team rather than by an individual case manager, so it is no longer easy to discuss special considerations with an individual.

Any application that lack documentation is refused or simply not processed.

Any department requests for further information are often hard for non-specalists to understand.

• You may need a backup plan. There might be more than one VISA option available, or you might have to choose between two mutually exclusive options. Constantly changing only further complicate this matter.
• You may only have one chance to apply. If you give misleading immigration information on a form there will be a 10 year ban on VISA approvals. Else, an onshore refusal (section 48 bar) will prevent any further applications from within Australia.

Migration rules can change after you lodge the application, leaving you unable to re-lodge.
