Immigration Law Isn’t Just Forms—Why Complex Cases Require an Accredited Specialist in Immigration Law
In the process of understanding Australian immigration law for a visa pathway, on the surface, it may seem simple. However, the reality of immigration law is far more complex than just filling out paperwork. Especially when an individual is in a complex circumstance, it demands more than ticking boxes and filling out forms. They require the strategic expertise of an Accredited Specialist in Immigration Law who is well equipped to navigate the complicated system and fight for your rightful place in Australia.
How is Immigration Law Complicated?
Most people see immigration processes as completing forms and submitting documents. While this is an essential part of the visa application, it is only a part of the equation. Immigration law involves many rules, policies and discretionary powers, and frequently changing laws that can significantly impact your visa decision.
How Do I Identify a Complex Visa Matter?
Each individual has a unique situation. Even though your matter may sound similar to your peer's, that may not capture the nuances and may lead to a different outcome than you expected.
If the visa application contains mistakes, it can lead to refusals, cancellations, limited visa options or even re-entry bans into Australia.
Complex cases often involve issues such as character tests, health waivers, a history of visa refusal and/or visa cancellation, or visa decisions that require appeals, which may require an Accredited Specialist in Immigration Law to interpret the law and map out the best possible pathway for your specific circumstance.
When Do I Require an Accredited Specialist in Immigration Law?
Visa matters involving criminal history, character issues, or security concerns require an assessment by an Accredited Specialist in Immigration Law to determine whether exemptions or waivers can be successfully applied for.
The Minister and immigration officers have discretionary powers that they can exercise to refuse a visa application or cancel a visa if the applicant doesn’t meet the requirements or breaches their visa conditions. The applicant will need to seek an Accredited Specialist’s legal knowledge to appeal the visa outcome to strengthen their case.
An Accredited Specialist in Immigration Law has the technical knowledge to understand and formulate strong legal arguments, present evidence effectively and advocate on your behalf.
Since every complex case is unique, Accredited Specialist in Immigration Law can tailor strategies, explore alternative pathways and advise on the best legal approach.
If you require representation to challenge the visa decision at the Administrative Review Tribunal (ART), the Federal Courts or Ministerial Intervention, an Accredited Specialist in Immigration Law is essential to manage these legal proceedings.
