Challenging an Unfavourable Migration Decision
Not every migration decision is final. If a sponsorship, nomination, or visa application has been refused, there may be options to seek a review, depending on the circumstances.
For employers, a refusal can affect recruitment plans, business operations, and existing workforce arrangements. Acting promptly is important, as review applications are subject to strict time limits.
At Aurelia, our migration lawyers assess the reasons for the decision, explain your available options, and provide representation throughout the review process where a review is available.
How Aurelia Can Help
Every review matter is different. In some cases, the best option is to seek a review through the Administrative Review Tribunal (ART). In others, the decision may require advice on alternative legal pathways, including matters that may proceed to the courts where appropriate.
Our migration law specialists can assist with:
- Reviewing the reasons for the decision.
- Assessing whether a review is available.
- Preparing and lodging review applications.
- Gathering supporting evidence and submissions.
- Representing employers before the Administrative Review Tribunal.
- Advising on further legal options where available.
If, after reviewing the decision, we believe another approach is more appropriate, we’ll explain why and discuss your options before any action is taken.
Decisions That May Be Reviewed
Depending on the circumstances, employers may be able to seek a review of decisions relating to:
Sponsorship Refusals
If your application to become an approved sponsor has been refused, we'll assess the reasons for the decision and advise whether a review is available.
Nomination Refusals
Where a nominated position has not been approved, we can review the decision and explain the options available to your business.
Employer-Sponsored Visa Refusals
A visa refusal can affect both your business and the employee you've chosen to sponsor. We provide advice on the available review pathways and represent employers where appropriate.
Sponsorship Compliance Decisions
If compliance action has affected your sponsorship approval or your ability to sponsor overseas workers, we can advise on your legal options and assist with review applications where available.
