What makes a NOICC response harder?
The notice is about a visa condition
If Home Affairs says you breached a condition, such as work hours, your response needs to explain what happened and why your visa should stay.
Your circumstances have changed
A change, such as a relationship ending, does not always mean your visa must be cancelled. Your response should explain your full situation.
The notice is about your character
Character notices are handled differently and need careful submissions. See Visa Character Issues Lawyers.
Your agent or lawyer is not acting on it
We can take over your case and prepare the response before the deadline. See Change Your Migration Lawyer or Agent.

NOICC questions
My NOICC response is due today. Can you still help?
Yes, if you contact us straight away. Send us the notice now and we will tell you what can be sent before the deadline.
What is a NOICC?
A Notice of Intention to Consider Cancellation is a letter from Home Affairs saying it may cancel your visa. It sets out the reasons and the date your response is due.
Does a NOICC mean my visa will be cancelled?
No. Home Affairs must consider your response before deciding. A strong response on time gives you the best chance of keeping your visa.
What happens if I do not respond to a NOICC?
Home Affairs can decide without hearing from you, and your visa may be cancelled. Always respond before the deadline.
Can I get more time to respond to a NOICC?
You can ask before the deadline, with a good reason. Home Affairs may agree, but more time is not guaranteed.
What can I do if my visa is cancelled?
You may be able to apply for review at the Administrative Review Tribunal, but the deadline is short. Contact us the day you get the decision. See Partner Visa Cancellation Review: Options and Deadlines.
Will I become unlawful if my visa is cancelled?
If you hold no other visa, yes. A bridging visa may let you stay lawfully while you seek review. See Bridging Visas in Australia: A, B, C and E Explained.
Which lawyer can help with a NOICC in Australia?
My Migration Lawyers responds to cancellation notices anywhere in Australia, with consultations by video, and can act on review and judicial review if needed. See Judicial Review Lawyers.
