Each year, a certain number of foreigners immigrate to Australia. Rules laid down in the Migration Laws must be obeyed and conditions must be fulfilled to ensure foreigners enter the country under the Skills, Family, and Special Eligibility migration streams.

Maximizing Efforts to Immigrate Successfully to Australia

Many foreigners regularly immigrate to Australia either temporarily or permanently under various categories. According to statistics however, not all applicants get visa to immigrate to Australia. A lot of the prospective immigrants lose their chances to immigrate to the country because they did not use the apt methods and suitable migration categories to move to the country.

For some prospective immigrants, the visa applications are refused and for many, the wait period to immigrate prolongs for quite some time. A prudent immigrant would plan the immigration process in advance so that processing hassles are diminished.

Here are some tips and tricks to immigrate successfully to Australia at the fastest possible time.

Why Australian Visa Applications gets Rejected
Foreigners who want to immigrate to Australia must apply for a suitable Australian visa, comply with all the prerequisites and conditions, and send the application with necessary documents to the required office. But, the ground reality is that many fail to get a visa. There can be some common reasons, such as:

• Application forms are incomplete or conditions are not met
• Factors agreeable for visa sanctions are not available or have some hitches. These factors are:

1. Relationship of the applicant with an Australian permanent resident or citizen
2. Skills required for the jobs available in the Australian market
3. Appropriate age and qualifications
4. Funds required for maintaining oneself in the country
5. Good health conditions
6. Good character

• Yearly target has already been met where the immigrant’s application of a particular stream has surpassed the allotment number. In other words, a “cap” put on the number of visas that can be sanctioned for a particular sub-class has been reached.

…Once, the limit is reached the visa application is put in a queue till further allotment is created. An incomplete form or applications with conditions not fulfilled are cancelled without notice.

Maximizing the Effort for Visa Grant
Consider a situation where your application is either in queue or rejected by the visa granting authorities. To salvage your application you need to address the problem instantly. For instance, if your visa application is rejected, you should:

• Appeal to the Review Tribunal in Australia, provided you have a strong Australian backing or sponsorship. Keep in mind however, that the review formalities are another separate feature where application form needs to be filled in and a fee must be submitted along with it.
• Appeal to the Federal and High Courts. As you can expect, legal formalities would require fees and other expenses.
• Seek the services of an immigration visa provider. Remember, the visa providing adviser must provide you with a Migration Agents Registration Authority (MARA) certified migration agent.

Immigration Agency
The immigration agency would employ certified MARA certified migration agents, who would do the following tasks:

• Provide you with an online assessment of visa eligibility to understand your most viable visa subclass
• Help in preparing Australian visa application
• Delineate the documents required for the lodgement
• Follow-up the status of the application with the Immigration Department
• Successfully settle you in Australia after the visa grant

…And, the approach is simple, meticulous, effective, and affordable. Care is also taken to ensure that you find out a suitable career in Australia. Whether you want to study or work in the country, the immigration agency addresses this option so that you can pick the correct visa subclass. When settling in Australia as well, the agency would help immigrants to get a suitable career opportunity.

To expedite visa-granting formalities, the applicant must hire a professional adviser who can understand the requirement of the Department of Immigration and Citizenship’s rules and guidelines as mentioned in the immigration policy. The application must be presented in the best way so that they get approved at an optimum time. If you can do that or get help from advisers, you can get your visa at the right time.
