Lawyer or a Migration Agent?
Most visa work and Migration Review Tribunal appeals are complicated administration processes and needs a good understanding of migration regulations but you do not need a lawyer – usually much more expensive. A good, registered migration agent will know when to refer a client for more complex legal advice, saving you a lot of money. A lawyer will usually delegate to an administrative staff member.
Must you use a Migration Agent – why not do it yourself?
Every day there are dozens of appeals by people trying to fix up a visa refusal or cancellation at the Migration Review Tribunal. When your visa is refused or cancelled you DO NOT get your government fee back and you pay even more for the appeal. Few visas are simple but for most you are taking a big risk. Look at the list of appeals published on just one day at the Migration Review Tribunal – up to 100 in one day. Do not join these – have it done properly at the start.

Registered migration agents in Australia are qualified people who must meet professional standards, follow the Code of Conduct and keep up-to-date knowledge of migration law. They must be registered with the Australian Government – Office of the Migration Agents Registration Authority (OMARA) which ensures that only suitable persons are registered to provide immigration assistance. This includes recognized qualifications and a proven honest background. These can make the difference between being granted a visa or not and can even make the difference between staying in Australia and deportation.
