You did your medicals on Wednessday last week and you've been refused a visa and it's only Monday lunchtime? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uklawyer Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 Speak to a migration agent, sounds like you put your own application together and it hasn't worked. The answers below are true, you have had a very fast response for an 820 app, sounds like there's something major wrong which is why it's been picked up so quickly.

Keep me in oz Posted July 13, 2015 Author Share Posted July 13, 2015 Crikey, how much is this costing? far far too much! two application fees, one MRT fee and a migration agent for my MRT app! im broke! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keep me in oz Posted July 13, 2015 Author Share Posted July 13, 2015 far far too much! two application fees, one MRT fee and a migration agent for my MRT app! im broke! oh and a bridging visa, and two sets of flights to leave the country as I had to go back for Biometrics!

AJ Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 if the have declined it onshore, what difference would it make applying for it offshore? surely you need to meet the same conditions? just wondering? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 Yeah tell us more, Surely it would just get refused again? Why was the other one refused? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keep me in oz Posted July 13, 2015 Author Share Posted July 13, 2015 if the have declined it onshore, what difference would it make applying for it offshore? surely you need to meet the same conditions? just wondering? Well it took them a year to declined it so we now have another years worth of evidence to supply, which includes living toegther for the required amount of time.

Bungo Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 Well it took them a year to declined it so we now have another years worth of evidence to supply, which includes living toegther for the required amount of time. So why are you appealing it? Having evidence now does not mean it was a wrong decision then does it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keep me in oz Posted July 13, 2015 Author Share Posted July 13, 2015 So why are you appealing it? Having evidence now does not mean it was a wrong decision then does it? Without going into the nitty gritty of it all, I think I have a stong chance that the decision will be overturned by the MRT based on the evidence I supplied to immigration at the time of application of my 820/801 visa.

Raul Senise Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 Currently MRT reviews are taking approximately 12 months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quinkla Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 I'm not a migration agent and maybe I'm missing something, but if you thought you had submitted a valid onshore application, why did you then submit an offshore application? Could it be that you knew your onshore one was invalid and you were just playing for time whilst you got the evidence for the offshore one - and now you need the MRT to take a long time so you can stay together on a bridging visa whilst your offshore one is processed?

I thought my onshore visa would get granted, when it didnt we decided to appeal the decision, then three months after all that I found out I could apply for the offshore visa as well as a back up as ultimately that would be the plan if the MRT hearing doesnt go in our favour! but instead of waiting until the hearing, we have applied now. All we want is to get on with our lives together as soon as we can, the migration process is so hard and so horrible we just want it to be done and dusted and move on from it!
