At Administrative Review Tribunal, Brisbane, for Protection Visa Refusal review, 22 Sep 2025.

23/07/2025

Our client recently received a 's57 Natural Justice Letter' from the Department of Home Affairs notifying of a potential visa refusal based on 'adverse information'. We prepared a detailed and persuasive response, which resulted in the granting of her student visa. Needless to say, our client is relieved by this outcome and can now focus on her studies rather than an expensive and stressful appeal process in the Administrative Review Tribunal.

Invitation by the DHA to my client to apply for the permanent partner visa 801 after the prescribed 24 months on the 820 temporary partner visa. Happy to be assisting my client with this important life journey.

Incredibly happy for my client who was granted a permanent partner visa 801 after she ended her relationship due to domestic violence. The Department of Home Affairs considered the evidence provided by my client and granted the visa under the family violence provisions contained in the migration legislation. This was an emotionally difficult time for my client, who can now experience a degree of stability and certainty in her life.
