24.01.2022 Dodgy Agents - Don't Risk it. The latest deception of "dodgy" members of the Sydney based migration agents' lobby group (the MIA). Migration agents' passing themselves off as Immigration Lawyers to dupe migrants & refugees. It is this sort of false and misleading advertising that undermines the confidence in the industry and causes so much heart ache for migrants and refugees.... Like this ad: (remember these guys are migration agents yet they hold out: Australian Migration Solicitors - 100% Successful Visa outcomes. Leading Migration Solicitor. Get Your Australian Visa Easy. Consult Us. Customized Service. Great Outcome.... So the Sydney based migration agent lobby group, have spent the last 20 years impeding lawyers and frustrating our struggle for liberty from MARA, now since they have lost that battle some of their members are holding out that they are lawyers even if they are not. Fake! Perhaps Trump is instructing their PR guys!

20.01.2022 If you're in a relationship with an Australian citizen or permanent resident, it's reasonable that you might want to stay in Australia and build a life with them here. Fortunately, genuine relationships are recognised by the Australian government and you should be able to get an Australian partner visa or prospective marriage visa. Both partner visas and prospective marriage visas have certain requirements and restrictions that can be quite complicated for those applying. If ...you are looking to stay in Australia with a partner visa, please contact us http://arsoar.com.au/love-will-find-a-way/
20.01.2022 What was that? Maybe I missed the memo? I attended an online migration agent's forum yesterday, regarding the up coming "deregulation" law. The main point I took from it was lawyers are scum. (Thanks for the heads up MIA)... Secondly that lawyers are scum and lawyers are tricky and lawyers are making migration agents do all this study stuff - and that ain't fair. Yet in all that sound and fury I did not hear once - what about the clients? How does it impact on them? Heard a great deal about how hard done migration agents felt by the changes but nothing on the main issue - which I would have thought was: It may be a drag but it is good for migrants & refugees to have well trained RMAs. So lets support it. We all fear change but this will be good for the migration advice industry

19.01.2022 AR LAW Services win at the AAT for the family of Tiananmen Square Hero Over the last quarter of a century or so that I have been helping people win the right to live in and call Australia home there have been several major cases that I believe to be special, historic and important and feel I was privileged to have been a part of them and of history: to be given a chance to fight the good fight to make a difference. This is one such case. As a young man I was inspired by t...he bravery and humanity of those students who stood up to oppression in 1989. Their protest came to be symbolized by the Tiananmen Square incident. For you who don’t know: In the 1980s, China was going through huge changes. The ruling Communist Party began to allow some private companies and foreign investment. Leader Deng Xiaoping hoped to boost the economy and raise living standards. However, the move brought with it corruption, while at the same time raising hopes for greater political openness. The Communist Party was divided between those urging more rapid change and hardliners wanting to maintain strict state control. In the mid-1980s student-led protests started. Those taking part included people who had lived abroad and been exposed to new ideas and higher standards of living. In Spring 1989, the protests grew, with demands for greater political freedom. Protesters were spurred on by the death of a leading politician, Hu Yaobang, who had overseen some of the economic and political changes.

07.01.2022 Not by man but by law. Court Holds to protect rights of a Refugee in Protection Visa Case The Federal Court recently ruled that the Minister is not above the law, and must seek review, rather than acting unilaterally, if the AAT makes a decision that the Minister considers incorrect In a recent refugee case run by Sergio Zanotti Stagliorio and as noted by Michael Arch (Both these reports are available at significant discount prices for members of VISA. Victorian Immigration S...olicitors’ Alliance https://www.facebook.com//VISA-Victorian-Immigration-Soli/ ) the court held that the Department had conduct itself in a more egregious, unfair, undemocratic and one might go so far as to say, cruel way. The visa applicant in this case, a citizen of Afghanistan of Hazara ethnicity (after initially arriving in Australia in 2012), had applied for a Protection visa, specifically, a Safe Haven Enterprise Visa. https://www.arlaw.com.au//not-by-man-but-by-law-court-hol/
06.01.2022 Does Australia owe the cow anything? How should the Australian Government respond to the International Student question. In 2010 I, along with other members of the Law Institute of Victoria Migration Law Committee, was active in the debate concerning rights for International Students. The following year the Knight Review was released in September. It contained 41 detailed recommendations which centered on streamlined processing of visas for applicants in the university sector... and post-study work rights for university graduates. Since 2011 there have been several key changes to the overseas student program, largely focused on the university sector, as the Government has implemented the recommendations of the Knight Review. Many of Australia’s 570,000 international students face losing their casual jobs due to restrictions put in place to tackle COVID-19, with many also unable to return to their home country due to travel restrictions. International students bring approximately $39 billion per year into the economy, making it Australia’s fourth-largest industry. Hence international students have until recently been looked upon by Governments as a cash cow that just keeps giving. Now, in the shadow of this pandemic, the uncomfortable question that confronts the Australian Government is does it owe these people anything: a fiduciary duty or a helping hand? http://arsoar.com.au/does-australia-owe-the-cow-anything-h/

03.01.2022 Ticket to ride can I leave Australia?: The how and why of travel during the time of Covid 19. Australian Migration Department has granted 3,000 exemptions to overseas travel ban Despite approving 2,937 requests for overseas travel, over 1,000 applications have been denied in the first six weeks of the ban. The coronavirus pandemic has prompted the Australian government to introduce strict restrictions on travel both to and from the country. Many other countries around the w...orld have also halted international travel despite the World Health Organisation’s advice that such measures are largely ineffective in slowing the spread of diseases. As the law currently stands, Australians can only leave Australia during COVID-19 if they qualify for an exemption from the ban. Speaking of travel authorisations more broadly, Border Force Commissioner Michael Outram told a Senate hearing on the coronavirus this month that in some of the welfare or humanitarian cases, it’s kind of heartbreaking in a way (but) I have to balance the advice to protect our country and community from COVID-19.

03.01.2022 Dodgy Migration Agent allegedly drugged and raped clients. Don’t Risk your Visa, your Future, your Money: Trust only an Immigration Lawyer. As reported by the AGE: Police identify 11 alleged victims in case of migration agent accused of rape....

01.01.2022 Cat skinning made easy! Citizenship grant for the daughter of Refugee applicant. There is an old English saying more than one way to skin a cat which means, if you look hard enough you will often find an alternative way to solve a problem. This saying is particularly relevant to a recent case I won. AR LAW Services had been retained by a family who were seeking protection, ie they were in the system having applied for a refugee visa. The application was not going wel...l. And having come to Australia originally as students almost a decade ago feared they would soon be deported and sent back to their home country. A country that they fear were they to be returned they would face persecution. So it was with this complex and messy application history that the family found their way to AR LAW Services: Master Migration Lawyers. On review the file and instructions of the client I found that one of the children a daughter had be born in Australia and was almost ten years old. (There was the added complication that she had returned to the home land of her parents and some other issues). The law in Australia is not like the old Roman law Lex Romani nor the Law of the United States under Australian law, being born in Australia does not grant you automatic Australian Citizenship. In fact legally a child born in Australia, to foreign national parents, is deemed to hold the same passport or nationality of the parents.

01.01.2022 Some of you may have read my post about how the Sydney based migration agents' lobby group the MIA were advertising on legal platforms controlled by the Law Institute of Victoria. (This should be understood or scene in the setting of an ongoing "turf" war between Lawyers and the MIA) However the CEO of the Law Institute of Victoria has just written to me confirming the MIA adds will be removed and such adds will not be permitted in the future.... So a victory for goodness and niceness! And remember applications for Membership to the Victorian Immigration Solicitors' Alliance: VISA will open (hopefully) shortly
01.01.2022 The Pandemic, Visa holders & Australia’s Future! I couldn’t think of a single area of migration that is not affected by COVID-19 in Australia. Professor Boucher Following my post of yesterday here are a few additional thoughts, stats and figures to reflect upon. As I write this I am conscious that right now everyone is focused (and rightly so) on how this pandemic impacts on their life rather than on the somewhat rarefied perhaps what some may consider abstract issues ...of a post corona Australia. What I would say is the issues currently facing temporary visa holders international students and temporary workers (457/482 visa holders) particularly have a real and immediate impact not only for them but for Australia as a whole. The actions of the Government will undoubtedly be reverberated throughout Australia’s coming years economically and culturally. As I stated yesterday: International education contributed $37.6 billion to the economy in the last financial year and supported 240,000 jobs, according to Government figures. Acting Immigration Minister Alan Tudge said there was an expectation international students could support themselves in the first year. Those who have been in Australia for more than 12 months will be able to access their superannuation. According to the Department of Home Affairs website, international students need to have enough money to pay for 12 months of living costs for them and any family members who travel with them to Australia. The Department estimated that to be $21,041 per head (student or their guardian). http://arsoar.com.au/the-pandemic-visa-holders-australias-/
