Recent Cases Won.

A couple – having had their visa refused due to a history of misleading statements on applications – can to me after bouncing from one incompetent migration agent to another. They had spent a fortune on getting this visa. By the time they got to us it was not only a huge mess but also a gigantic money pit!

So what should have been a cake walk – a fiancé visa. (Getting betrothed) – turned out to be a nightmare.

As many understand it is the unscrambling of the egg – that is where years of experience really counts.

And that is precisely what AR LAW SERVICES: Master Migration & Litigation Lawyers did – and we got them to the church on time…

Here is what a few clients have said:

Mr Robinson recently won my Partner visa – Administrative Appeals Tribunal Case.

Here are some other cases:

AAT visa Refusal Appeal – Partner Visa Matter

AR LAW Services won my partner visa at the AAT, it was a long a difficult case, the department had rejected my visa application twice, but Mr Robinson fought for me and my husband and we won. I think Mr Robinson is very professional and extremely good at his work. I have no hesitation in recommending AR LAW Services. In fact we are now applying for my husband’s Australian citizenship.

Partner Visas. Big win for fairness at the Administrative Appeals Tribunal (AAT). Another AR LAW Services ‘feel good’ Partner Visa story.

AR LAW Services was retained to appeal a particularly cruel decision by the Department of Immigration (DIAC) that had deprived a young man of a life with his lawfully wedded wife for more than four years.

The applicant – a young Australian man who suffers a significant intellectual disability – had tried on numerous occasions to secure a partner visa for his young wife. The applications – despite being lodged by a well known migration law firm – were consistently refused by DIAC on the grounds that his intellectual disability robbed him of the capacity to understand concepts like “love”, “marriage” and consequently DIAC believed he lacked the ability to “sponsor” his wife were she to come to Australia.

AR LAW Services argued that “the chance to love and be loved is not solely the preserve of the gifted and the beautiful but those with intellectual disabilities can to love too”.

So when it was all said and done this case was about discrimination and prejudice. Something that has no place in a fair and just legal process or the rule of law.

After three days before the tribunal, AR LAW Services was vindicated and won and now the couple can live happy ever after in Australia.

Mr Robinson recently won my son’s Partner visa – Administrative Appeals Tribunal Case. It was an appeal to the AAT because my son’s and his wife’s partner visa had been refused. It was a difficult and long case that turned on “intellectual capacity” – the original visa application had been lodge some four (4) years ago, and we were at the AAT for three (3) days. My Son, his wife and our family are very happy with AR LAW Services.

The Process

WHO CAN APPLY?

If you are in a relationship with an Australian citizen, Australian permanent resident or eligible New Zealand citizen, you may be eligible for a grant of a partner visa on the basis of their sponsorship.

You may be eligible for a partner visa if you and your partner:

Are married
Or are engaged to be married
Or in a de facto relationship
Or have registered your relationship with a relevant State/Territory authority

HOW DO I QUALIFY?

3 Pathways:

There are three pathways through which partners of Australian Citizens or Permanent Residents can obtain a visa for Australia.

The answer to the question which path is best for you will depend on your individual circumstances, including whether the person applying for the visa is inside or outside Australia at the time of application.

If your Partner is in Australia – The Subclass 820/801

This is for couples who are married or in a de facto relationship and the applicant is in Australia.

Stage 1 stage, subclass 820:

Be in a de facto relationship with an Australian Citizen, Permanent Resident or Eligible New Zealand Citizen for 12 months,

Or be married to an Australian Citizen, Permanent Resident or Eligible New Zealand Citizen.

Or have registered your relationship with a relevant State/Territory authority.

Stage 2 – operation of law: two (2) years from the date of application for the subclass 820 visa, the applicant is invited to submit evidence that the relationship is continuing.

If the Minister is satisfied the Subclass 801 visa may be granted.

NB an applicant is entitled to Medicare access, work rights, and study rights, upon granting of the temporary 820 visa.

If your Partner is Overseas – The Subclass 309/100 Offshore Partner Visa

This is for couples who are married or in a de facto relationship and applicants who are outside of Australia.

Visa applicant must be sponsored by an Australian Citizen, Permanent Resident or Eligible New Zealand Citizen

An applicant must be outside of Australia when the temporary Subclass 309 visa is granted, after which they can enter Australia, and access Medicare, work rights and study rights.

Similarly, to the onshore process – see above – the applicant will initially be granted a Subclass 309 visa, and will be given the opportunity to obtain the permanent visa, the Subclass 100, two years from the date the initial application was submitted.

Prospective Marriage Visa Australia – Subclass 300 (Temporary Residence)

This is for couples who are engaged to be married to an Australian Permanent Resident or Citizen, or an eligible New Zealand Citizen.

This pathway is for applicants who are outside of Australia.

Once granted, the subclass 309 visa allows the holder to enter Australia and marry their Australian partner within a nine-month period.

Prior to the end of this nine-month period, applicants can apply for an onshore Subclass 820/801 visa as outlined above.

This visa allows holders to access work and study rights.

HOW DO I APPLY?

Partner visas require both an application to be made by the visa applicant and the sponsor: the Australian Permanent Resident, Citizen, or an eligible New Zealand Citizen partner.

All of the above visa options will require evidence that your relationship is genuine and continuing. To satisfy the Minister that this is the case, you should be able to provide evidence that addresses the following:

Cohabitation or otherwise

Financial interdependence

Social interdependence

Nature of your ongoing commitment to one another

As all couples are different, AR LAW SERVICES: Master Migration Lawyers will tailor a custom made and effective Partner application to suit your individual needs and aspirations.
