Speak with a migration agent as early as possible, particularly before your current visa expires, before lodging an application or when your circumstances change. Visa options and deadlines vary, so you should not rely on a fixed number of weeks.

Borderless Migration assists with partner and family visas, skilled migration, employer-sponsored visas, temporary graduate visas, student visas, visitor visas, citizenship applications and eligible visa refusal or cancellation reviews.

No. Visa decisions are made by the Department of Home Affairs, and no migration agent can guarantee an outcome. A registered migration agent can assess your circumstances, explain applicable requirements, identify potential issues and help prepare a well-documented application.

There are many other reasons why Australian visa applications get refused including:

1. providing false and incorrect information;
2. missing or insufficient evidence;
3. not providing proof that you are competent in the English language (student and skilled visas)
4. nominating the wrong occupation from the Skilled Occupations List (SOL);
5. not showing incentive to return to home country with a visitor visa application;
6. not meeting the health requirements 

Seek advice as soon as possible. Your decision letter may identify review rights and strict time limits. Borderless Migration can assess the decision and explain whether an Administrative Review Tribunal review or another migration pathway may be available in your circumstances.
