We support both skilled workers and employers, from eligibility checks to complete applications. By managing compliance and minimising delays, we make the transition smooth. This helps employees stay long-term and employers retain the staff they value most.

A refusal doesn’t have to end your plans in Australia. We prepare detailed submissions, identify strong grounds for appeal, and represent you at the Administrative Review Tribunal (ART). With proven success in overturning refusals, we focus on restoring your visa pathway and giving you certainty about your future here.

Family Violence and Partner Visas – Protecting Your Rights

You can still pursue permanent residency even if your relationship has ended due to family violence. We provide confidential advice, prepare evidence, and protect your rights under Australian immigration law. Our role is to help you move forward safely while securing the visa outcome you’re entitled to.

Bogus Documents – Responding to PIC 4020

A false document or error doesn’t have to end your visa prospects. We prepare comprehensive responses to Public Interest Criterion 4020 (PIC 4020) claims, collect supporting evidence, and argue your case to immigration authorities. Our goal is to protect your status and keep your options open for living and working in Australia.

Visa Cancellations – Urgent Action When Your Visa Is at Risk

Keep your life in Australia on track, even when cancellation is threatened. We act fast to prepare strong responses, deal directly with the Department of Home Affairs, and, if needed, represent you in reviews.

Immigration Law FAQs

Migration agents can help with applications, but only immigration lawyers are qualified solicitors. That means we can give you legal advice, prepare complex submissions, and represent you in the Administrative Review Tribunal or Federal Courts if your case is refused or cancelled.

Costs depend on your visa type and how complex your case is. We offer a free consultation first, so you know exactly what’s involved before making any commitments. From there, we provide clear fee structures so you can plan with confidence.

Yes. If your visa has been refused, we can review the decision and represent you in an appeal to the Administrative Review Tribunal. With experience overturning refusals, we focus on identifying strong arguments, preparing detailed submissions, and giving you the best chance of success.

Partner visas can take between 12 to 24 months, depending on the stream and the Department of Home Affairs’ processing times. We make sure your application is lodged correctly, with all evidence in place, to minimise avoidable delays and give your application the strongest possible chance.

Even simple applications can be refused if documents are missing or requirements are misunderstood. Having an immigration lawyer gives you peace of mind that everything has been checked, prepared, and submitted correctly — and that you have someone ready to act quickly if issues arise.
