Frequently asked questions
What decisions can be reviewed?
We handle reviews of visa refusals (all categories), visa cancellations, Employer Nomination Scheme refusals, Business Sponsorship rejections, and Partner Visa Sponsorship refusals.
How much time do I have to lodge a review?
Typically 21 or 28 days from notification, depending on the visa type and decision. There is no provision for late lodgement — contact us urgently upon receiving any adverse decision.
What is the ART?
The Administrative Review Tribunal — the body that conducts independent reviews of government decisions, including migration decisions. It replaced the AAT on 14 October 2024.
Will reviewing a decision pause my visa expiry?
Lodging a review on time can preserve your immigration status while the ART considers your case. The specific status protection depends on your visa type — get advice immediately.
What are my chances of success?
Outcomes depend on the grounds of refusal and the strength of the evidence. We provide a clear prospects assessment at our first consultation — including whether ART review is the best path vs alternative options.
