VISA Cancelled or Refused due to Failing the Character Test – section 501- AAT appeal: AR LAW SERVICES: Master Migration Lawyers. Police & Court Convictions

VISA Cancelled or Refused due to Failing the Character Test – section 501- AAT appeal

 Police & Court Convictions

 

For more than 20 years I and my expert team have been helping clients win difficult character cases.  People with a history of police arrests and court convictions, a history of domestic violence or a history of just having “dubious or unsavory” friends or associates.

Over the years AR LAW SERVICES: Master Migration & Regulatory Lawyers has steadily built up a practice in the area of law where criminal defense and immigration law bleed into each other.  We are now regarded as one of Australia’s leading Crimmigration Specialist Law Firms.

Here is a recent character case we won at the AAT General Divison.

The client had failed the character test: that is, he had a bad criminal history of assault, drug possession and numerous property offenses – he was no choir boy:  The client, by his own admission had got caught up in the “wrong” crowd when he was a young man.  As is often the case the mistakes of our past shape our future. This was a long and difficult case.

In addition to his extensive criminal history there was also a history of domestic violence.

Violence against women and children is considered as particularly serious matter and made the case much more complex and difficult to win.

However the AR LAW SERVICES team prevailed and we won the case.
