Frequently Asked Questions about Sydney Migration Agents and Lawyers
Understanding your migration options can be overwhelming. Our Sydney-based team of immigration lawyers and registered migration agents has answered common questions to help clarify the visa process, your legal rights, and how we can support your journey to live, work, or study in Australia.
What does an Australian immigration lawyer or migration agent do?
An Australian immigration lawyer or registered migration agent provides expert legal advice and assistance with visa applications, including document preparation and communication with the Department of Home Affairs. They guide clients through the complex Australian migration system and can represent them in appeals processes if necessary. Their role is to ensure your visa application has the best possible chance of success.
Why should I use a registered migration agent or lawyer for my visa application?
Using a registered migration agent or immigration lawyer is beneficial because they possess in-depth knowledge of Australia’s complex and frequently changing immigration laws, helping you avoid common mistakes and ensuring all requirements are met. These professionals navigate the visa process efficiently, manage communications with the Department of Home Affairs, and can handle appeals, reducing stress for the visa applicant. Their expertise increases the likelihood of a successful outcome for your immigration matters.
What types of Australian visas can LawBridge assist with?
LawBridge assists with a comprehensive range of Australian visas, including partner visas, family visas (like parent visas), skilled migration visas, employer-sponsored work visas, student visas, business and investment visas, and visitor visas. Our Sydney migration agents and lawyers also provide visa services for bridging visas and Australian citizenship applications. We cover the entire visa application process for these categories.
Can LawBridge help if my visa application is refused or cancelled?
Yes, LawBridge can provide expert assistance if your visa application is refused or your visa is cancelled by the Department of Home Affairs. Our experienced immigration lawyers in Sydney can represent you in lodging an appeal with the Administrative Appeals Tribunal (AAT). We can also handle judicial review matters in the Federal Courts if required.
How complex is Australian immigration law?
Australian immigration law, including the Migration Act 1958 and Migration Regulations, is highly complex and subject to constant changes, making it challenging for individuals to navigate alone. The intricacies of different visa types, eligibility criteria, and evidentiary requirements necessitate careful handling to avoid errors or delays. Seeking professional immigration advice from a lawyer or registered migration agent is often essential for a smooth visa process.
What is the general process for an Australian visa application with LawBridge?
The general process for an Australian visa application with LawBridge begins with an initial consultation to assess your eligibility and discuss the best visa pathway for your migration needs. We then guide you through document preparation and evidence gathering, followed by careful lodgement of the visa application with the Department of Home Affairs. Our team manages communication with the Department and keeps you informed until a decision is made.
Can LawBridge help with Australian citizenship applications?
Yes, LawBridge can assist eligible permanent residents with applications for Australian citizenship. Our immigration lawyers guide clients through the entire citizenship application process, ensuring all requirements, including residency and character criteria, are met. We help you navigate the final step in your Australian migration journey to become an Australian citizen.
What are the character requirements for Australian visas?
Australian visa applicants must meet specific character requirements, primarily assessed under Section 501 of the Migration Act 1958, which involves checks for criminal records and assessment of past and present conduct. Failing the character test can lead to the refusal of a visa application or the cancellation of an existing visa. It is a crucial aspect of most visa applications, including those for permanent residency.
Can LawBridge assist with partner visa evidence requirements?
Yes, LawBridge provides specialised assistance with the evidence requirements for partner visa applications. We help applicants compile and present the substantial proof needed to demonstrate a genuine and ongoing relationship to the Department of Home Affairs. Ensuring sufficient relationship evidence is crucial for the success of a partner visa application.
