Immigration lawyers in Sunshine

Visa matters are unforgiving of small mistakes: a missing document, a question answered slightly wrong, or a deadline counted from the wrong day can cost an application that took a year to put together. We act for people from Sunshine and across Melbourne's west on applications, refusals and cancellations.

Immigration · Melbourne's west

A visa problem, or planning an application, in Sunshine?

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 Sunshine often come to us with visa applications, family sponsorship matters, or questions about their immigration status. Many are working here, studying, or have settled family members they want to bring over. A practical starting point is gathering your current documents—passport, visa grant letters, employment contracts, and any correspondence with the Department. If you're thinking about sponsoring someone, it helps to understand your own visa position first. If there's been a change in circumstances—a job, a relationship, a move—that can affect what options are available. We can review what you have and work through the next steps together.

Common questions

Immigration in Sunshine — 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 collect before talking to a lawyer about bringing a family member to Australia?
Start with your own visa paperwork and your family member's passport details, birth and marriage certificates, and any police or health records they may need. Write down your relationship to them, how long you've known them, and whether you're living here permanently or on a temporary visa. Bring anything showing financial support you could provide. We can review it all and identify what else may be needed.
