Hi everyone

I applied on my niece behalf for a visitor visa 600. I made mistake and applied for a tourist visa as I was not aware of sponsored visit visa.

the officer refused the application as she believes the applicant hasn't provided her travel history and a genuine intention to return to her home country.

my niece is a 19 years old student and never travelled abroad. I explained this in the application as well so I am not sure why the officer is not satisfied 

i am wondering is it wise to reapply for a family sponsored visa ?

what are the chances of refusal or approval ?

She is from iran and I am an Australian citizen.

cheers

hello everyone...

i have gotta a qustion whenever you apply any substantive visa should you recive bridging visa automatically or not ,my problem is in may 2015 i applied for 485 visa and i was issued a bridging visa A, then in august i applied 187 but for some reasons i have to withdraw my file for 485 in sep for doing that my bridging visa did ceased but to my understanding i was thinking i am on another bridging visa which i should get from 187 but that was only till october when i did find out about it i did had any visa basicaly i was staying illegally here without any visa.i requested department to issue me a briding visa which they did on the same day,and then in feb i recive my permanent residensy.everthing was cool till yestrday when i was trying to apply for citizenship online i could not do it coz system says i did not fullfill residensy requirement,when i did ring immi lady told me i did not had any visa between sep to oct so thats why i am not fullfilling residensy requirement and now i can only apply for citizeship in 2019 c oz my 4 years will start from oct 2015 when i was issued a new bridging visa,i have been here from 2009,when i had talk with migration agent he told me i can do it coz it was immigration departments mistake who did not issue me a bridging visa for 187 when i lodged it in august so it was there system error,i am not sure wht sould i do here,apply or wait till 2019.

any help or idea will be much appericated ....

cheers

Hello Who care

This is a very special issue and I doubt someone can help you. However its ridiculous and at the same time terrible to have your citizenship application delayed because of a system error or mistake. In my opinion you should talk to immigration department. Maybe they can provide you with a letter or proof that it was their mistake and not yours and then you can lodge a paper application for citizenship.

I hope you can sort out this issue and get your citizenship soon.

Cheers
