AR LAW Services wins Down Syndrome Health Waiver Case. AR LAW Services wins another AAT visa refusal health appeal and a little girl’s Australian “dream comes true”.

As many of you know – particularly regular readers of this blog over the last 20 years or so – AR LAW Services regularly appears both at the Administrative Appeals Tribunal (AAT) and the Federal Circuit & Federal Courts for a range of Australian Visa refusal and Cancellation matters. (We have carved out some what of a specialist niche and a formidable reputation for winning “unwinnable” cases in the visa refusal and cancellation sphere)

As many of you know – particularly regular readers of my blog (arlaw.com.au/blog) over the last 20 years or so – AR LAW Services regularly appears both at the Administrative Appeals Tribunal (AAT) and the Federal Circuit & Federal Courts for a range of Australian Visa refusal and cancellation matters. (We have carved out some what of a niche and a formidable reputation for winning “unwinnable” cases in the visa refusal and cancellation sphere)

Often these appeals are concerned with people who have police and criminal records or foreign nations whose lives have been destroy by incompetent work by “dodgy” (poorly trained or dishonest) migration agents who just “mess up” a good application. These cases often turn on issues like PIC 4020 – Bogus documents – or false and misleading information on forms or statements, or character matters that lead to cancellation under s116 or section 501.

In addition to these types of “character” cases AR LAW Services represent a large coterie of people whose visas have been refused due to poor health – their own or that of a family member. What are called the PIC 4001 heath cases.

Over the years I have been involved in appeals for refused and cancelled visa due to HIV, renal failure (kidney cases) and pulmonary cardiac failure cases to name a few. These are legal difficult and often emotionally demanding and time consuming and intellectually challenging. (Anyone who has dealt with such an appeal will tell you they are wickedly difficult and will often first present as an insoluble conundrum)

(I have written about the health waiver process in one of my other blogs regarding an HIV case I won at the AAT recently https://www.arlaw.com.au/uncategorized/pic-4007-visa-refusal-appeal-justice-for-partner-visa-case-ar-law-services-another-aat-health-waiver-case-win/)

It is one such health case that I was retain for over 2 years ago. It was the sort of case that made my blood boil due to the unfairness of the decision and the injustice done not only to the applicant but to the entire family.

A delightful, bright little seven year old girl who enjoys drawing, coloring and cooking presented. She was the only daughter of a very successful couple – the father had work as a specialist in his field for many years and was currently employed by one of Australia leading multi nationals.

Despite his impressive CV and the fact the his major company employer were desperate to retain him his visa application had been refused on several occasions due to the health of his little daughter.

For she suffered Down Syndrome. https://www.downsyndrome.org.au/

After over two (2) year and several appearances before the AAT, I am happy to report that yesterday the AAT agreed with me and remitted the matter to be reconsider – that is we won.

(If you wish to read more on the law regarding PIC 4007 here is another AAT appeal I won that speaks more about the process https://www.arlaw.com.au/legal-services/big-hiv-health-case-win-ar-law-services-secure-a-health-waiver-for-client-with-hiv/)
