Subclass 600 Family Sponsored Visitor Visa Granted on Third Attempt After Two Prior Refusals

Visa TypeSubclass 600
CategoryVisitor Visa

Case Summary

An applicant from the Middle East who had been refused a visitor visa twice sought our assistance for a third application. We systematically addressed each ground of refusal — limited family ties at home, no travel history, high non-return rates, and a sponsor's visa complication — and secured the family sponsored visitor visa.

Background

Our client wished to visit Australia to attend a family event and visit a close relative. His first two visitor visa applications had been refused. The first refusal cited limited immediate family remaining in his home country, no overseas travel history, and high non-return rates for visitors from his region. The second refusal arose from a complication with the Australian relative's visa and a condition preventing family sponsored tourist visas. We were engaged to prepare the third application.

Challenges

  • Two prior visa refusals created an adverse immigration history to address
  • Limited immediate family in home country, no previous travel history, and high non-return rates in home region
  • A visa condition on the Australian relative's visa had prevented approval of the second family sponsored application
  • Need to robustly address all prior refusal grounds while presenting new supporting evidence

How We Helped

We prepared the third application to directly address all grounds of previous refusals. We submitted evidence that the applicant had more immediate family in his home country than in Australia, that his lack of travel history was attributable to his youth, and that despite the high regional non-return rates, the applicant had a structured life in his home country that provided a compelling reason to return. We also addressed the relative's visa condition complication and how it had been resolved.
