Frequently Asked Questions

The migration program is the mechanism by which the Australian Government determines how many applicants it will allow to settle permanently in Australia in any given year - and is sub-divided into two programs: the Migration Program and the Humanitarian Program. The Migration program is further divided into family, skilled and special eligibility migration. The Humanitarian Program also has further categories such as refugees, special humanitarian migrants and special assistance. The largest component of the migration program is the family reunion stream, where preference is given to a spouse, child, adoption, parent and preferential family. There is also a residual class -- the Skilled-Australian-sponsored class -- whose numbers may be controlled by the operation of a 'pool' of potential applicants who may be processed to meet the targets set for the migration program in any particular year.

Our charges are fair and reasonable and in tune with market demand. We charge on the basis of what the market is charging for similar services and have structured our fees accordingly. We charge fees for immigration visa processing that are in keeping with Industry standards. The general nature of fees is agreed in advance with the final fee depending on case complexity and the type of visa processing required by our clients. Generally, a partial payment is due with the Retainer Agreement before any work can begin. The balance is paid in installments at each step of the application process. We review each case on their own merits, separately and individually, to consider clients specific situations when determining the consulting fee.

When you really come to think about it, the lifestyle and social security you and your family will be able to experience and enjoy in Australia will far outweigh the cost in terms of fees you pay to us and in terms of the lodgement fee you have to pay to DIAC.

In return for your honesty and professional and business expertise, Australia offers you and your family, a unique lifestyle second to none in the world.

The best time to apply is 'NOW'. Because as you get older you get fewer points and if you are over 45, you would not be eligible to apply to migrate to Australia. Also, with each change to the migration act and regulations, it becomes increasingly more difficult to migrate.

Aussizz Migration & Education Consultants will not proceed with any matter unless we believe that there is a genuine and realistic chance of it succeeding. For those whom we represent Aussizz Migration & Education Consultants commits its best efforts resulting over the year in many great results on behalf of clients.

Every case therefore is dependent upon its special facts.

Processing times vary depending on the type of visa, country where lodged and quality of application made. Delays can possibly result from and include: · Poor documentation and presentation · Misunderstanding of visa requirements · The need for an interview · Health issues · Complications regarding the criminal or security status of the applicant or dependents · Applicant's difficulty in obtaining satisfactory supporting documents · Requests by the Visa Office for additional supporting information · Visa Office workload demands, staffing limits, application backlogs and identified priorities Before planning to migrate to Australia, discover whether you qualify and how we may achieve your desired outcome in the most timely and cost-effective way by simply completing our Online Australian Immigration Form.

No, you are not required to apply separately for your family to migrate to Australia. Just single application will include all family members in your application. You even don't require paying any extra charge to include them in your application. You have to remember one thing that only your spouse and Children will be considered as your family member. You cannot include your parents, brother or sister in your application; unless you can prove them to be wholly and substantially reliant on you for financial, food, shelter and other support and prove that they are more reliant on you than on any other person.

You must tell the Department of Immigration where you intend to live while your application is being processed. If you will be changing your address for more than 14 days you must tell the Department your new address and how long you intend to be there. A form is available for this purpose.

The visa will permit you unlimited travel and entry to Australia for five years from date of grant, and indefinite stay on your arrival provided entry is made before the expiry date. Where you travel overseas and return to Australia after the specified date, you will need to obtain a five-year Resident Return Visa (RRV) to renew your permanent residence. To renew your permanent residency, you must have been lawfully present in Australia for a period of, or periods that total, not less than two years in the period of five years immediately before the application for the RRV and, during that time, you must have been the holder of a permanent visa. Limited exceptions to the two-year rule apply.

You have an obligation to notify the Department of Immigration in writing if any of the information that is included in or with your application form (or provided later in support of your application) changes. This obligation applies whether you are in Australia or overseas. If your application was made in Australia your obligation applies only to changes in circumstances before the visa is granted. If your application was made outside Australia, the obligation to advice of changes of circumstances continues after the grant of the visa. The information that you provide to the Department will be used when considering whether to grant or refuse to grant you a visa. If you fail to notify the Department of a change in your circumstances, any visa that is granted to you may be canceled before or after you have arrived in Australia.

Most decisions made in Australia can be reviewed, as well as a number made overseas. However, there are strict time limits. When you are notified of a decision to refuse to grant or to cancel a visa, you will also be advised as to whether you may seek a review of the decision made. Depending on the nature of the decision, any right of review you have will be to one of the relevant Review Tribunals. The review in each case will be a review of the merits of the decision. Generally, a decision made outside Australia refusing to grant a visa where there is no nomination or sponsorship in that subclass is not reviewable. Where sponsorship or nomination is involved, then the sponsor or nominator in Australia or an Australian relative of the visa applicant can seek rights of review. If your review is unsuccessful, and you still believe Immigration is wrong, it may be possible to seek review of that decision by the Federal Court. The review by the Court is not a review of the merits of the decision. This is only if the tribunal has made a mistake in applying the law in decision-making process. If you are arguing with the Department of Immigration about a case, it is very useful to make a Freedom of Information application to see what is on the file.

In the unfortunate event of a skill assessment or migration applications being rejected or refused, we would not charge our client any further fee quoted at the time of signing an agreement. So you would not incur any further loss. We charge our fee in instalments and only when our client clears a stage an invoice is raised for the next stage of the application process. We would not advise you to apply, if your chance of succeeding is not good, so it is all the more reason to get in touch with a registered migration agent. We give a written "Money-Back Assurance" in the unlikely happening that your immigration file is not successful and refused. We will refund the consulting fee less the Retainer fee & administrative costs incurred by us. If your application for Australian Permanent Residence is refused for any reason other than health, criminality, Government Policy has been changed, security or misrepresentation or omission of information on your application, we shall promptly refund to you all Consulting fees paid by you. However, No such refund will be made should you voluntarily withdraw your application for Australian Permanent Residence. Note: Any fee paid to the skills assessment bodies or the Department of Immigration would not be refunded to you.

There is a growing demand for skilled personnel. One has to obtain the required points in the Skills/Enjoyability criteria, apart from other factors as mentioned in the foregoing. Having satisfied the visa officer that one is highly skilled in his respective field and gained the required points to qualify, the application will proceed to a grant of visa. Therefore, when a prospective migrant arrives into the country, he/she is entitled to join the work force immediately. Registration or licensing may be required in some instances. It must be understood that, the Australian Government has taken into consideration the basic needs of a new immigrant, and has an infrastructure to welcome and accommodate such persons, who can approach employment agencies, which will assist them in seeking employment suitable to their qualifications. Private Employment Agencies and Internet browsing could be other avenues used to seek employment. A job search is advisable after visa grant and prior to one's departure, but a personal interview with your future Employer is mandatory in most cases. In short, an immigration status is granted to highly skilled persons permanently unlike a placement or work permit which is for a temporary period.

Subject to limited exceptions, every non-citizen who arrives in Australia must pass through immigration clearance. In most cases you will need to produce a completed passenger card and provide evidence of your status. You would normally do this by producing the passport, which contains evidence of your visa.

Losing a passport does not affect the visa granted to you. Your passport contains evidence of the grant of the visa rather than the visa itself. The visa is the permission that is given to you to travel to, enter and/or remain in Australia. You should obtain a new passport from the country that issued it, and present the new passport at an Australian visa office for re-evidencing of the visa. There is a fee for re-evidencing some visas.

Mostly to protect themselves from the HIGH FAILURE RATE: up to 50% of D.I.Y (Do it yourself) permanent residence visa applicants fail to receive their residence visas due to application errors, misunderstandings or confusion that commonly arise during the immigration process. This compares to an average success rate of over 95% for those applicants that apply through an officially-recognised migration agent. A registered migration agent (RMA) is certified by an Australian Government Body called MARA (Migration Agents Registration Authority) after the agent has a thorough knowledge of all aspects of the immigration act and regulations of Australia. RMAs are also required to keep their knowledge up-to-date by attending CPD (Continuing Professional Development) courses periodically in Australia. RMAs are also required to maintain a library of all migration acts, regulations and related information. RMAs are also given access to the Procedure Advice Manual (PAM), which the visa officers use in deciding an application. Australian Department of Immigration and Citizenship (DIAC) recognises only MARA registered agents to file immigration applications on behalf of applicants in Australia. An application assisted by a registered migration agent can enhance the prospects for acceptance by DIAC. To enhance the prospects of your application to be accepted, we present a detailed submission with your application. In this, we address every single aspect of the law, regulations and DIAC immigration procedures manual with respect to your case and this could sometimes run up to over 30 pages. We can communicate with the DIAC office to follow up on your application, which may not be possible if you do the application directly or by an unrecognised agent in effective way. In addition to your immigration application, we give expert guidance on preparing the skills assessment applications. The skills assessment is essential and without a successful skills assessment, your immigration application cannot proceed. There are a number of skills assessment bodies in Australia and you need to satisfy the criteria established by the assessment body. A careful preparation of your application is also essential to get a successful outcome. With our experience in handling a number of applications, we can successfully guide you through.
