Receiving a visa refusal from the Department of Home Affairs can be deeply disappointing — but it does not necessarily mark the end of your migration journey. In many cases, you have the legal right to request a review of the decision through the Administrative Appeals Tribunal (AAT).
The AAT examines whether the Department’s decision was correct based on the law and the evidence provided. It’s an opportunity to present additional documentation, clarify information, and have your case reassessed by an independent body.
At BridgeBlue Global Migration, we assist clients in preparing and lodging strong AAT appeals. Our lawyers review your original application, identify the reasons for refusal, and prepare detailed submissions supported by evidence and legal argument.
Key points to remember:
- You must lodge your AAT application within the specified timeframe (often 21 days).
- Additional evidence can significantly strengthen your case.
- Representation by a qualified migration lawyer can improve your chances of success.
If your visa has been refused, act quickly. Contact our office for a confidential assessment of your review rights and options.
