Visa refusals can lead to distress and separation from family and loved ones. At GIC we are acutely aware of the impact a visa refusals or nominations can have on applicants and or sponsors. At times a visa refusal or the refusal of a nomination is either an unlawful or incorrect decision. Many visa or nomination refusals handed down by the Department of Immigration permit an applicant or sponsor to exercise their right to appeal. Appellants must bear in mind that all decisions to refuse a visa or nomination provide a time limit by which an applicant must submit an appeal to the ART. GIC can assist you in:

• Comprehensively assessing your refusal “decision record”
• Identifying and explaining to you the “grounds of refusal”
• Providing a frank and genuine appraisal of the merits of an appeal to the ART and the likelihood of achieving a positive outcome
• Crafting a compelling supporting submission
• Preparing and lodging an appeal to the ART on your behalf

At GIC we will only lodge an application to the ART where we believe you have a strong case. A case, that in our view, will result in a positive outcome.
