Guest dhk2aus Posted September 27, 2009 Share Posted September 27, 2009 Dear, I had commonwealth DEBT which i wasn't aware of. and case officer sent me following e-mail. Dear Mr XXX Our records indicate you have an outstanding debt of $4,500 to the Commonwealth for Litigation. Public interest criterion 4004 of Schedule 4 of the Regulations must be met in order for a visa to be granted. PIC 4004 The applicant does not have outstanding debts to the Commonwealth unless the Minister is satisfied that appropriate arrangements have been made for payment. The debt can be repaid in full at Overseas POST counters. Please provide the receipt details via email (preferably with a screen shot) for updating of DIAC Onshore systems. .......................... I have already made arrangement to pay the DEBT in full. my question is, is my VISA going to be refused on this ground even after i pay the debt? please advice...any comments would be very helpful. I have applied on January 2009..all my documents are showing MET in the system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have just applied for a visa and am aware of the importance to clear all debts owed to the commonwealth Aus. How can you check if you owe anything. I met with an accident before my travel offshore and i know I have a hospital bill to pay which was suppoed to be taken care of by my insurance company and hasn't. I also have a ortho bill with a clinic. How do I locate what I owe If i dont have the bills or name of the place.. WIll this affect my visa application.

Quinkla Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 The rules are clear - if the debt has been cleared then there is no grounds for refusing the visa. If a repayment plan has been agreed then the CO may make a case for discretion to grant the visa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Guest31881 Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 this thread is over 2 years old and the OP has not posted since October 2009. Can I suggest that if you need answers you start a new thread as rules and regulations change and 2 years is a long time in the migration information game.. If you need help starting a thread hit the report button (triangle bottom left) and one of the mods will advise you, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
