Our Visa Application Success Rate is 100%!

_________________________________________

We understand that the decision to take your partner or spouse back to Australia is a big one, and you want to be sure that you obtain the correct visa. However, the visa process can be tricky to navigate on your own and many potential visitors to Australia grossly underestimate the possibility that their application may be refused.

_________________________________________

50% of DIY Applications Fail!

_________________________________________

Industry feedback has indicated that an estimated 30% of all applicants who lodge their application online and directly with immigration authorities get it WRONG and FAIL because they did not use a registered migration agent to compile and double check their application and immigration eligibility first.

It is estimated that a further 20% of applicants who do not use an agent become confused and frustrated with application process and find it difficult or impossible to get answers to their specific concerns or questions from immigration authorities. As a result, they unnecessarily drop out of application process.

Overall, this equates to an estimated up to 50% FAILURE RATE for “do-it-yourself” applicants applying directly to immigration authorities.

This compares with a SUCCESS RATE OF 100% for applicants that apply through our Migration Consultancy.

Applying for an extension http://www.australianvisaadvice.com/applying-for-an-extension/ http://www.australianvisaadvice.com/applying-for-an-extension/#comments Fri, 03 Sep 2010 11:28:31 +0000 admin http://www.australianvisaadvice.com/?p=294 My girlfriend is in Australia on a tourist visa, can she apply for an extension?

Applying for an extension

The answer to this very much depends on whether your Thai girlfriend has the no further stay condition (Condition 8503) attached to her current tourist visa.

  • If she has, then she unfortunately must leave Australia to apply for any other visa.

In very exceptional circumstances the no further stay condition can be waived, but generally speaking she must depart Australia to apply for any other visa. The only other visa that can be applied for is a protection visa if the no further stay condition is attached.

  • If she doesn’t have the no further stay condition attached then she has a few options available.

The e676 tourist visa

_________________________________________

If she only wants to stay less than 3 months more in Australia, she may consider applying online for an e676 tourist visa.

She still needs to satisfy the genuine visitor criteria, but this can simply be applied for online through the DIAC website.

Whilst this visa is being processed, your girlfriend will be granted a bridging visa that will allow her to remain lawfully in Australia. It should be noted however that if she will be remaining in Australia for more than 3 months she will be required to undergo a chest x-ray as Thailand is a high risk country, especially for TB.

The Department of Immigration and Citizenship (DIAC) will notify you of this any other documentation that may be required after you apply online.

Subclass 676 tourist visa

_____________________________________________

If your girlfriend wishes to apply for more than 3 months, and she does not have the no further stay condition, then she must apply for a subclass 676 tourist visa by way of submitting a paper application at the nearest DIAC office. Again, she will need to undergo a chest x-ray and further satisfy the genuine visitor criteria.

As with the e676 application outlined above, she will be granted a bridging visa that will allow her to remain lawfully in Australia during the processing of her onshore tourist visa application.

Australian Visa: health criteria http://www.australianvisaadvice.com/australian-visa-health-criteria/ http://www.australianvisaadvice.com/australian-visa-health-criteria/#comments Mon, 30 Aug 2010 04:31:05 +0000 admin http://www.australianvisaadvice.com/?p=261

Australia has very strict health requirements that must be satisfied when it comes to grant of particular subclass of visa. If the health requirements are not satisfied, then the visa will be refused.

What is the health criteria?

All applicants for an Australian partner visa or fiancé visa must satisfy Australia’s stringent health criteria in order to be granted a visa.

Likewise, all primary and secondary applicants must pass the health requirement for the grant of a particular visa.

If an application, eg: for a partner visa, includes primary and secondary applicant, then the general rule is, that if one person fails the health criteria, they all fail.

This has been referred to as the ‘one fails, all fail’ rule.

There are however circumstances where someone who fails the health criteria can nonetheless be granted a health waiver and as such a visa.

The health requirements that must be satisfied are generally determined by the visa being applied for, the length of time that the applicant is intending to remain in Australia, and lastly whether any special significance requirements exist. It is also important in assessing the health requirement to look at which country the applicant is from and where they have previously resided. If there are special significance requirements then the health requirements may be above the minimum required.

Health tests

_________________________________________

Health test that may be required include medical and radiological examinations.

The costs for such test must be paid for by the applicant and are not included in the relevant visa application charge.

The costs for the health tests should be factored into any visa application, and can be considerable when the application includes several secondary applicants, and even immediate members of the primary applicants family who are not intending to migrate.

Family members must test too

_________________________________________

Even if immediate members of the primary applicant are not intending to migrate to Australia, they too must satisfy the health criteria. This is often referred to as the ‘one fails, all fail system’. For example if a partner visa or fiancé visa applicant lodges a visa application he or she must satisfy the health criterion that is in force at the time of application. That applicant may have a dependant family member, a child for example, who is not included in the application to migrate. Nonetheless the non-migrating child must pass the health criteria too.

If the child fails the health criteria and the Department of Immigration and Citizenship (DIAC) is unable to waive health requirement for that child, then the primary application will be refused. There are however certain exceptions where it is deemed unreasonable for a non-migrating family member to undergo a health assessment.

Expiring tests

When undergoing any health tests for an Australian visa they are usually valid for 12 months from the date the test was undertaken.

Applicants should be aware that if the processing of their visa application takes more than 12 months, and the health tests were undertaken more than 12 months ago, they will have to re-do their test at their own expense.

Unless required to do so to submit your visa application, it is recommended that you wait until you are advised to undergo a health test.

Health requirements: Australian partner visa

_________________________________________

For partner visas, applicants must undergo both a medical and radiological examination using the approved forms.

If the examinations are undertaken outside Australia, then they must be performed by an approved medical specialist.

You should wait until you have lodged your application before having any examinations. Your case officer will advise you what examinations need to be undertaken.

The no further stay condition http://www.australianvisaadvice.com/the-no-further-stay-condition/ http://www.australianvisaadvice.com/the-no-further-stay-condition/#comments Sat, 28 Aug 2010 09:29:40 +0000 admin http://www.australianvisaadvice.com/?p=258 What does the no further stay condition attached to my Thai partner’s visitor visa exactly mean?

The no further stay condition

The most general no further stay condition is Condition 8503.

For several Australian visas the no further stay condition is mandatory, and it must be attached as a condition of that visa granted.

For other visas the decision maker has discretion whether or not to attach the condition.

Sponsored family visitor visa

_________________________________________

If your Thai partner is the holder of a sponsored family visitor visa then this condition will certainly be attached to that visa as there is no absolutely no discretion available to the decision maker to not impose it.

Tourist visa

_________________________________________

If your Thai partner has been issued a tourist visa then it is quite possible that she may not have the condition attached to her tourist visa.

Where a decision-maker has the discretion to attach the no further stay condition, it is generally done so where the decision maker has some residual concerns that the applicant may not be intending to visit Australia as a genuine visitor only, yet there is not compelling evidence to suggest that she does not have a genuine intention.

When you girlfriend was issued her tourist visa she would have received a letter that stated the conditions which were attached to her tourist visa. Some of the conditions may also include that she must not work whilst in Australia or engage in any study for more than three months.

Visa labels

_________________________________________

Australia has started to not place visa labels in passports, and as such all of the visa information pertaining to your girlfriend’s visas is now stored electronically on the Department of Immigration and Citizenships (DIAC) mainframe. It is however recommended to always carry the letter with you when travelling.

The significance of the no further stay condition, when attached to a visa, is that your girlfriend is prevented from applying for any other visa whilst she remains in Australia. She therefore must depart Australia if she intends to then apply for a further Australian visa. This includes tourist visa extensions too.

In exceptional circumstances beyond the control of the visa holder the no further stay condition may be waived.
