Can Australian Immigration Officers give you legal advice on your immigration case?
It is a common public misconception that Australian immigration officers (whether in Australia or at overseas Embassies or High Commissions) give LEGAL ADVICE on Australian immigration matters - under the law, because they are non-lawyers, they DO NOT and CANNOT do this. What they do give is information. However many of our clients indignantly feel that they do not often get 'the full picture' from Australian immigration officers. Some even complain strongly that they feel they were misled, deceived or otherwise not treated fairly by Australian immigration authorities.
Preparing an Australian visa application should never be about 'merely filling-in forms'. Even a so-called 'straightforward' Australian tourist visa application (particularly by applicants from certain countries) can fail resulting in a frustrating and costly experience to the applicant. Serious strategic thinking,planning and study are all very important for the preparation of a good application with the best chance of success. Our experienced Australian Immigration Lawyers will assist you to take the proper course in applying for an Australian VISA.
SOME COMMON REASONS WHY MOST APPLICATIONS FAIL:-
Often a common reason for application failure is the legal insufficiency (in legal terms, lack of 'substance') of the submitted documentary evidence. In other cases it can be due to submitting the 'wrong' kind of evidence with the application.
Visa Interview Questions..
When applying for a visa for Australia you may eventually come across a number of visa interview questions which could ultimately decide whether your application is approved or rejected. So what visa interview questions should you expect when looking to move to Australia ?
Background Questions
If you are looking to move on some kind of business visa there will obviously be questions about your business activities, business experience and your hopes for the future.
Different types of Visa Interview Questions
During your visa interview you will come across different styles of questions with some simple yes or no answers and others delving deeper into your personal life, business life and hopes for the future.
Why do you want to go to Australia?
This is one of the most vital questions you will be asked during your visa interview and you need to be honest and to the point with your answer. You need to explain why you chose Australia in particular and what attracted you to the country. This will offer you the chance to show you have done your homework and you are fully aware of what potentially lays ahead of you.
What are your plans when you get there?
This is a very simple question and one which needs to be addressed and thought about before you actually enter the interview room. Immigration officials will not look favorably upon those who have no plans once they land in Australia . There is also the fact that the Australian authorities need to know that you are self-sufficient and able to support yourself if you gain access to the country.
What is your current occupation?
Carrying on from your occupation you are likely to be asked about your income, cost of living, family circumstances and even what your parents do.
Conclusion
If you do your homework to back up your application then there is no reason why you cannot be successful.
