Migration Agent in Melbourne

Migration to Australia means arriving and staying in Australia legally on a valid visa.  Australian Immigration Law could be quiet complex with a variety of visas to choose from. The key to the success of any visa application lies in the Migration Agent’s skill of selecting the best visa category based on your individual circumstances.

We as Australian Registered Migration Agents provide the following migration services to our clients: -

• STUDENT VISA

  +

  To study in Australia you must have a valid Australian visa. Student visas are temporary visas that allow people to come to Australia for a specified period to study at an Australian educational institution.

  
  

• 457 VISA

  +

  The Temporary Work (Skilled) visa (subclass 457) allows skilled workers to come to Australia and work for an approved business for up to four years. You must be sponsored by an approved business. A business can sponsor someone for this 457 visa if they cannot find an Australian citizen or permanent resident to do the skilled work.

  
  

• MIGRATION REVIEW TRIBUNAL (MRT)

  +

  The Migration Review Tribunal (MRT) conducts merit reviews of visa and visa-related decisions made by the Australian Department of Immigration and Border Protection.

  MRT reviews a wide range of decisions in relation to visas other than protection visas

  Merits review is an administrative reconsideration of a case. A merits review body makes decisions within the same legislative framework as the primary decision maker, and may exercise all the powers and discretions conferred on the primary decision maker.

  
  

• PARTNER (SPOUSE) VISA

  +

  The temporary Partner visa (subclass 820) allows you to live in Australia if you are the spouse or de facto partner of:

  • an Australian citizen
  • an Australian permanent resident
  • an eligible New Zealand citizen.

  In some circumstances the visa can be granted where your partner relationship has ended.

  The temporary Partner visa (subclass 820) is the first stage towards a permanent Partner visa (subclass 801). You must be in Australia when you apply and also when this partner (spouse) visa is decided.

  You lodge one application form for your temporary and permanent visas and pay one application charge. Your application is processed in two stages, about two years apart.

  
  

• MINISTERIAL INTERVENTION

  +

  You can make a request for ministerial intervention if you have received a decision by a review tribunal. This is because the minister’s public interest powers need a review tribunal decision to exist before he can intervene. A ‘review tribunal’ means the Refugee Review Tribunal (RRT), the Migration Review Tribunal (MRT) or, in certain circumstances, the Administrative Appeals Tribunal (AAT).

  
  

• PROTECTION / REFUGEE VISA

  +

  To be granted a Protection visa (subclass 866) you will need to be found to engage Australia’s protection obligations because you either:

  • are a refugee as defined by the Refugees Convention
  • meet the Complementary Protection criteria in the Australian Migration Act 1958.

  You might also be eligible for a Protection visa if you are the family member of a person found to engage Australia’s protection obligations.

  You and any eligible family members included in the application must be in Australia when you apply for this visa.

  The Protection visa (subclass 866) is a permanent visa.
