Request for Information & Visa Issues
Whiteley Ironside & Shillington provides expert legal services in Migration Law.
Requests for information and other visa issues that may come up can cause fear and uncertainty for your prospects of migrating to or staying in Australia. We are expert placed to assist you with any requests or issues that may arise.
There are several reasons why you might receive a request for information from the Department. These include not giving the Department enough information, not explaining something properly, or if a matter has come to the Department’s attention which you have not mentioned in your application.
If you have received a request for information, we assist you in reviewing and explaining the request, advising you on its seriousness, helping you get the required evidence, and submitting written statements addressing the issues raised.
If you have received a letter from the Department asking you to provide evidence of obeying visa conditions (such as residence requirements) or a notice stating that the Department is questioning your character, we can assist you with understanding the requirements and preparing your response to the Department.
If you are on an employer sponsored skilled visa and you have had a falling out with your employer, it is essential that you seek quick and reliable advice to understand your options. If you have found a new employer who wants to sponsor you, we will act promptly to successfully transfer your nomination to allow you to stay in Australia.
