Partner Visa Appeals: helping you fight for your relationship
An ART appeal is a review of a decision made by a government body whereby an individual believes that an incorrect decision has been made and there are grounds for review. In Australia, when it comes to a visa application, the decision-making body is the Department of Home Affairs.
An appeal gives the applicant the opportunity to present arguments and information, such as supplying supporting documents or evidence, to the Tribunal to consider and review.
We’re here to help you appeal.
If your partner visa has been refused, it’s important to act quickly. There are strict time limits for lodging an appeal, and getting professional advice early can make all the difference.
