Feeling Low Sender: debsnshaunHi I have been on with my application since February this year and at first was absolutely over the moon about my move to Oz. I received my TRA back a few weeks ago...
The CPD conference is a conference in which all registered migration agents have to attend each year in order to maintain their registration. That article is simply about the number of visas available, not the number of visas granted or applied for. Lorenzo Boccabella is Australia's leading immigration barrister, who has represented one of the largest proportion of migrants in both Australia's Federal Court, & High Court.
Now before we all start panicking...
I am talking about the total number of visas rejected in Australia per year. I am not talking soley about skills applications etc. Like I said, this was in a conversation between myself and about 8 other registered agents. I have no concrete evidence on this, I am simply repeating what was said to me.
If you want to maximise your chances then either use a registered agent or read below;
If you lodge your visa application ONSHORE and it is rejected you gain MRT rights and you can appeal. If the MRT reject your case you can then apply for ministerial discretion. The minister must answer ALL cases put forward to him or her.
If you lodge offshore you do not get MRT rights. Therefore it is always better in questionable cases to lodge your application onshore.
