Immigration law is complex. It is made up of many parts including statutes, regulations, government policy and procedure, case law precedents, gazette notices, statutory instruments and ministerial directions.
The job of immigration officers is to control who enters and stays in Australia, not to help or advise you.
Let us be your guide and advocate. Our knowledge and experience can help you avoid obstacles and overcome challenges.
For example:
- Government policy is usually strictly enforced by Immigration officers, but on appeal a case can be won by showing that the policy is out of line with the law.
- A person who has a “ban” on entering Australia is only banned from certain visas, not all visas.
- The place where you are when you lodge an application can make a big difference to how your case is treated.
- Immigration officials are human and can make errors such as applying the wrong rules or asking for things you are not obliged to give them.
