Can I Do My Visa Application By Myself?
If you feel confident enough to handle the visa application process alone then we congratulate you. Applicant's profiles can vary from one another and one person's circumstances can be materially different from another person's even if only in one respect and this can alter the nature of the visa application and process.
The process can in certain circumstances be relatively straight forward and indeed many people have successfully obtained a migration/permanent residency visa by themselves. However, for others it can be a lonely and frustrating journey.
You may know someone who has successfully been through the Australian immigration process themselves but you should consider the following:
- When did they apply?
- What legislation and policy was in place at the time?
- What were their circumstances at the time?
- What visa were they granted?
- What conditions were attached to the visa?
Increasingly according to Department of Immigration and Citizenship (DIAC) statistics many applicants choose to employ the services of a Registered Migration Agent.
Every visa application must meet the actual migration requirements for that particular visa subclass in order to be successful. These requirements are found in the Migration Act 1958, Migration Regulations 1994, as well as in the policy guidelines which DIAC Case Officers use to assess applications.
Whilst the DIAC website is a good general guide it is clearly stated therein at this page http://www.immi.gov.au/legislation/internet-access-legislation.htm that legislation and regulations are not published on the DIAC website
Visa applicants cannot rely on the DIAC and its Immigration Case Officers to give migration law advice on a visa application. It is a common public misconception that DIAC staff, including immigration officers (whether in Australia or at overseas Embassies or High Commissions) can give advice on immigration matters.
Under Australian law, because they are non-lawyers and not Registered Migration Agents, they do not and cannot provide migration law advice or assistance. What they can provide is information. However, we are frequently contacted by clients who have said that they do not often get "the full picture" from DIAC staff. Some even complain strongly that they were misled, deceived or otherwise not treated fairly.
Moving to Australia changes your entire life; let professionals advise you.
MY AUSTRALIAN VISA.com can provide you with the migration law expertise to submit the best possible visa application.
Why Use A Registered Migration Agent?
A migration agent is anyone who uses knowledge of migration procedures to offer advice or assistance to a person wanting to obtain a visa to enter or remain in Australia.
Migration agents operating in Australia are required by law to be registered with the Migration Agents Registration Authority (MARA).
All registered migration agents:
- have a 7 digit Registration Number and registration certificate to prove their registration (this can be verified on the MARA Register)
- must meet the qualification requirements for registration, which include a sound knowledge of Australian migration law and procedures (for initial registration) and ongoing professional development activities (for subsequent registration)
- be of good character; and
- abide by the Migration Agents Code of Conduct which they are required to display in their offices.
How can I Choose the Right Registered Migration Agent?
When searching for an Registered Migration Agent to provide advice and assistance you should ask the following questions:
- Are they registered with the Migration Agents Registration Authority (MARA)?
- Are they Members of the Migration Institute of Australia (MIA)?
- Are they tertiary qualified?
- Do they have a Law Degree?
- Do they have experience?
- Do they have testimonials from satisfied clients to support their claims?
- What is their success rate?
Credentials are important and confirm a commitment to the profession, set a standard for work and help interaction with third parties.
With changes constantly occurring in migration legislation it is important to be aware and up to date with new policies implemented prior to applying for a visa. Without a comprehensive understanding of migration legislation, policies and procedures as they apply to you, a visa application may be delayed, returned unprocessed, or refused outright, wasting both time and money.
Due to industry regulations we cannot give any detailed advice on an assessment of your visa eligibility until you become a client via the Level 1 Service or Ask An Agent Service.
If you are not likely to succeed,we will let you know from the outset and advise you against proceeding further. MY AUSTRALIAN VISA.com offers an honest assessment and advice, even where this includes negative feedback. It may be that as a consequence of reading the Level 1 Service advice document that you decide not to go ahead with any visa application, indirectly saving a significant amount of time, money and frustration.
Under Migration Agents Registration Authority (MARA) guidelines, registered agents must complete Continuing Professional Development (CPD) courses prior to re-registration each year. This assures that Registered Migration Agents are aware of any changes to legislation.
In addition, as Registered Migration Agent we are bound by the MARA Code of Conduct and this requires, inter alia, maintenance of a separate bank account for clients money, until the money is paid towards expenses or charged against professional fees provided after the completion of work agreed upon.
Whilst the ultimate decision to grant a visa is that of the DIAC there are many reasons why you should use a registered migration agent to assist you in your visa application.
Peace of Mind
In addition to our professional fees there are Visa Application Charges (payable to DIAC) and other associated costs payable to relevant third parties for all visa applications. These fees will NOT BE REFUNDED TO YOU by the relevant authority if your application is unsuccessful.
Furthermore, if your application is refused, you may not be able to appeal the decision or reapply for some time (e.g. until after you have acquired sufficient work experience) or at all (e.g. you may lose the ability to reapply because of the age requirement or because your circumstances or the law has changed).
Only applicants for certain visa subclasses are legally entitled to lodge an appeal. Under the law not every rejected applicant is legally entitled to appeal. Even if you are legally entitled to appeal you will likely have to pay an appeal application fee.
If you are entitled to and do proceed with an appeal you must remember that once your application is rejected, it becomes difficult if not impossible to legally 'change your story'. This is because any 'unsuccessful application' is filed by DIAC and may be used to check against any conflicting or inconsistent claims you make in your appeal or new application. DIAC's own statistics show that a great number of appeals fail.
Given this situation, our policy is to only undertake cases that we feel will be successful in attaining a visa based on the Level 1 Service. We are honest in our evaluation and will not waste both your time and money and our excellent reputation.
