Australian Visa Refusal

The Administrative Appeal Tribunal (AAT) is an organisation that reviews the merits of a visa application. It is the only organization authorized to review the decisions made by the Federal Government.

Australian Visa Refusal

AAT reconsiders the case file, reviewing the facts provided and laws relating to the decision. The processing time for an appeal varies depending on the case complexity; however, it generally ranges from 12 to 18 months.

If the results came as ‘Affirm’, the applicant will be left with two options: applying to the Federal Court or applying for Ministerial intervention. Asia Pacific Group, a team of registered MARA Agents, has extensive knowledge and experience in handling multiple cases of various situations. They can help you get success, solve potential issues, or provide better alternatives in your appeal.
