Immigration · Melbourne's outer east

A visa problem, or planning an application, in Box Hill?

Most of the work that decides a visa outcome happens before anything is lodged — working out which visa genuinely fits, and building the evidence the Department will actually test. Where a visa has been refused or cancelled, the question becomes review, and review deadlines are short and strictly applied. We will tell you plainly whether your matter has good prospects before you commit to anything.

People in Box Hill often need immigration help when they're sponsoring a family member to move to Australia, applying for permanent residence themselves, or sorting out visa conditions after a change in their circumstances. Work visa holders sometimes need advice when their employment situation shifts, and parents occasionally need guidance on options for adult children. Getting started usually means gathering documents—passport details, employment history, relationship evidence if relevant, health and character records—and writing down a clear timeline of what's happened so far. We can then work through what steps make sense for your situation.

Immigration in Box Hill: We act for individuals and families from Box Hill and throughout Melbourne's outer east. Immigration is federal law, so it makes no difference where in Victoria you live — we meet most immigration clients online, and you are welcome at our Reservoir office.
Common questions

Immigration in Box Hill — FAQs

My visa was refused — is it too late to do anything?
Not necessarily, but act quickly. Many refusals can be reviewed, and review deadlines are short and counted strictly from the date you were notified. Send us the decision letter as soon as you have it, so the review option stays open while we look at the merits.
Do I need a lawyer or a migration agent?
Either can help with a visa application. A lawyer can also advise on the other legal issues that often sit alongside a visa matter — a separation, a criminal charge, an employment dispute — and represent you if it ends up in a tribunal or court.
Can a criminal charge affect my visa?
It can, and sometimes more seriously than the charge itself. Anyone who is not an Australian citizen should get advice on the immigration consequences before pleading to any charge. We act on both sides of that question.
What does it cost?
The first consultation is a fixed fee, quoted before you book. Applications are usually quoted as a fixed fee too, so you know the cost before the work starts. Government application charges are separate, and we will tell you what they are.
What should I bring if I'm coming in to talk about my visa application?
Bring your passport, any visa documents or correspondence you have, and a summary of your work and residence history in Australia. If your application involves family or sponsorship, gather relationship documents too. We'll review what you have and let you know what else we need to look at together.
