Citizenship – Absolute Citizenship update
Born in Australia but your Parents at foreign nationals – how can I become an Australia Citizen?
The Nuts & Bolts:
As with many of my clients they are refer to me – as was the case here.
The parents were student visa holders – then, with the dubious help of a migration agent – they applied for protection – the mother of a very small child, who was born in Australia, became sick – very sick and the mother suddenly tragically dies leaving the child’s father and 4 other siblings.
By the time they got to me the child was 14 years old.
The first thing we did was secure the child’s Australia Citizenship – which we did, so at least admidst all the sorrow and lament the child now has the promise of a brighter future and the right to call Australia Home!
So if you or anyone you know wishes to become an Australia Citizen – talk to us!

Other Cases – difficult health and character cases:
Absolute Citizenship – Justice for a profoundly disabled autistic client who had failed to get a PR visa due to failing the Public Health Test. Health waiver
A great win that makes all the hard work worth it – it is not only an outcome that I am proud of given the original result I was appealing was so cruel and unfair, but am also pretty proud of the brilliance of the legal argument that won the day!
I was approached last year by a father who was desperately looking for assistance. His permanent visa was going to be refused due to his child had failed the health requirements set out in schedule 4 of the migration law. The child is profoundly autistic. He is a lovely kid just completely closed off to the outside world – a true tragedy . Consequently the law holds that if anyone in the family failed the health test – NO ONE IN THE FAMILY GETS THE VISA!
Now fortunately the combination of a change in the law – their country of origin and they came to me, I was able to circumvent (lawfully) the health issue and file directly for Citizenship.
This not only save the clients time and money – they were advised by a migration agent to appeal and try to have the minister intervene – this was bad advice and would be very unlikely to succeed. Not to mention how much money the agents bad advice would have cost the desperate client.
Fortunately, the client sought me out, not only saving him time and money but most importantly secured a life in Australia as an Australia Citizen!
So if you or anyone you know has had a visa refused or cancelled due to poor health or bad character to to us!
And Remember – if you are in this position because of your agent…
