Some visa situations involve more than filling out an application form. When a visa has been refused, when the Department sends you a notice of intention to refuse, or when you need a waiver of a condition or requirement, the process becomes more complex and the stakes are higher.
Robbie Toor (MARN 1170356) handles these matters for clients across Brisbane and Queensland.
Received a refusal or notice? Read this first.
If you have a letter from the Department with a deadline, that deadline is real. ART review applications are usually due within 21 days of the refusal notice date. Responses to NOI letters and section 57 notices typically have 28 days. Missing these deadlines usually means losing the right to respond or review. Call us on 0425 825 500 today.
