Does My Migration Lawyers act on visa refusals?

My Migration Lawyers acts on visa refusals, including partner visa refusals and other refusals that can be reviewed at the Administrative Review Tribunal. The firm reads the decision record, identifies the reasons the decision maker relied on, and advises whether review, a new application or another option is best. It then prepares the review application, evidence and submissions and represents clients at the hearing. The firm's pages on visa refusals and partner visa refusals explain this work.

Does My Migration Lawyers handle complex partner visa issues?

My Migration Lawyers handles the legal issues that often stop partner visas, such as Schedule 3 for onshore applicants without a substantive visa, condition 8503 waivers, the section 48 bar, sponsorship limitations under regulation 1.20J, PIC 4020 and character concerns. The firm also acts on family violence claims where a relationship has ended. Our article on complex partner visa applications explains why these issues need early advice, and the firm's page on family violence covers that area.

Does My Migration Lawyers work on protection visas?

My Migration Lawyers works on protection visas, including Subclass 866 applications made in Australia and reviews of protection visa refusals at the Administrative Review Tribunal. Protection work involves preparing the statement of claims, gathering country information and preparing the applicant for interview or hearing. Our article on the protection visa lawyer role explains the firm's approach to this area.

How does My Migration Lawyers work with clients?

My Migration Lawyers works with clients by video consultation and email, which allows the firm to act for people in every Australian state and territory and for Australian sponsors whose partners live overseas. The firm's office is at Level 1, 60 Martin Place, Sydney NSW 2000, and its Principal Lawyer speaks Mandarin, so the firm can consult in Mandarin as well as English. Professional fees are fixed and agreed in writing before any work starts. Clients receive advice in writing, so both partners, or a client and their family, can refer back to it at each stage of the matter. The firm does not publish success rates and does not promise outcomes, because every decision rests with the Department or the Tribunal.
