Tricks and Common Reasons for Refusal

1 – Unfamiliarity with How the Australian Immigration Works and Its Mentality

In many cases, applicants prepare and submit their supporting documentation in a disorderly way, giving the Immigration a hard time digging through tons of paperwork to get things in the right order when picking up a new visa application. This will potentially lead to endless back-and-forth clarification and explanation, wasting both sides lots of time and can even result in a refusal of Subclass 888C visa.

This is common since applying for a visa, especially a permanent one, is the very first time to most applicants. For this reason, our team have developed our own system for labelling, coding, structuring and, where necessary, cross-referencing documentation so your application can be submitted in the most presentable and logical manner. Making your application stand out among all competitors has been our goal from day one.

2 – Careless Yet Costly Mistakes

Applying for migration is seen as a delicate work of art due to the staggering amount of attention, paperwork, and details involved. A seemingly minor/harmless error such as a typo in your résumé, a date entered wrong, or a tick in the wrong box in the lengthy visa application form can prove costly as the Immigration processes all visa applications strictly in accordance with migration law, in particular Migration Act 1958 and Migration Regulations 1994. Even a small error can be regarded as failing to satisfy a visa requirement and therefore lead to a visa refusal. To minimise such incidents, our team pay extra attention while editing and drafting every client’s paperwork and always proofread and also conduct a final review of documentation before submission.

​

3 – Applications Not Being Decision-ready

Another common reason of refusal for Subclass 888 visa is submitting an application without all the required documentation. This happens incidentally when the application was prepared carelessly, or intentionally when the applicant was trying to rush an application for whatever reason (e.g. meeting a cut-off date of a major migration policy change, which happens almost each and every year and often catches people off guard). Even with nearly 20 years of experience, we handle each application meticulously as our first to ensure nothing slips through the cracks. Should a sudden change of policy hit and impact you, we are more than capable of advising you what documents are mandatory at the time of submission and what can wait so you are not in danger of a straight-up visa refusal upon submission.
