I was very sceptical that we would be able to secure our visa but Chandan and his team worked their magic with our partner visa which was full of complications and in the end was also successful. They explained everything as the process went through and were always contactable even after hours. I can highly recommended Chandan and his team for all visa requirements.

I got 491 visa thanks to them!! Three years ago, the WA state nomination was suspended due to high demand. First, I went to another visa agent, but a Singaporean agent only made me hopeless. He just blamed me "You should have come to me earlier." After that, I went to Indeed Visa. Mr. Chandan said that the nominations would be resumed with confidence. His words really encouraged me. I proceeded as he advised, and finally, 491 visa was granted! It took 1 year and 4 months. I’m really glad I chose Indeed Visa — it was definitely the right decision! I highly recommend them to anyone who’s trying to decide which agent to go with.

I would like to extend my heartfelt gratitude to Chandan and his team for all the support and guidance throughout our 494 visa process. He was very helpful and showed his professionalism by attending to all our questions without fail. I would 100% recommend him to all my friends and relatives who need assistance with their visas.

Indeed Visa helped me secure my visa, and they were incredibly supportive throughout the entire process. Their communication was clear, prompt, and always on point. I would highly recommend using their services.

Visa Refusal and Appeals

The Administrative Appeals Tribunal (AAT) conducts independent merits review of decisions of the Department of Home Affairs, including visa refusal and appeal. The AAT takes a fresh look at relevant facts, law, and policy and arrives at their own decision. When the AAT undertakes the review, they have the power to affirm, vary, set aside, or remit the decision.

Not all decisions can be reviewed, and only certain decisions are allowed to be reviewed under part 5 of the Migration Act 1958. Applicants are also required to submit a review application within a specified period as per Australian Migration Law, otherwise they will lose the opportunity of review and need to either leave the country or look for alternate options.

Possible Visa refusal reasons:

Thought there could be any reason to refuse a visa, the most common reasons are as below:

  • Not meeting eligibility criteria
  • Wrong type or stream of visa applied
  • Not enough evidence to support the application
  • Incorrect or false information
  • Breach of previous visa conditions
  • Genuineness of relationship (Partner Visa)
  • Not enough financial capability (Student visa)
  • Genuine position for employer visa
  • Health and character criteria not met

Procedure in Visa Refusal Appeal:

  • Review whether the application is eligible for review (In the majority of visa lodged onshore, you are eligible for AAT review of your application).
  • Lodge an appeal with AAT within the specified time.
  • Prepare and submit a legal submission with the help of existing and additional evidence.
  • Attend a hearing if required (We had many successful cases where we were able to get refusal overturned without a hearing).

If you have faced a visa refusal, it is important to understand your rights and options for appeal. The AAT provides an avenue for review and reconsideration of visa decisions. Consulting with an immigration lawyer or a migration agent experienced in visa refusal and appeals can greatly assist you in navigating the process and presenting a strong case for review.
