You must be aware of the strict time limit imposed on your right to appeal or apply for review.

If your visa is being cancelled or your application is being refused, you need to act immediately to avoid losing your right to appeal as a result of time limitation expiring. You also need to allow adequate time for your lawyers to assess your appeal. In considering an appeal, there are several issues that must be considered:

  • Do you have a right to appeal?
  • If so, what type of reviews are you entitled to – merits review or judicial review?
  • What are your grounds of appeal?
  • Does your evidence support the grounds that may be available to you?

For the past 10 years, Tang Law has helped applicants with appeals and reviews in many contexts of visa cancellation including:

  • Breach of visa conditions
  • Criminal Deportation
  • Character ground – Failed to demonstrate good character
  • Discovery of incorrect, false or misleading information given to Immigration
  • Genuineness of marital or spousal relationship
  • Termination of marital or spousal relationship and domestic violence
  • Genuineness of legal child
  • Refusal of protection visa
  • Revocation relating to Student Visa
  • Genuineness of company sponsorship and nomination
