Immigration Law FAQs in Melbourne, Victoria
How many immigration lawyers are there in Melbourne?

How do clients rate immigration lawyers in Melbourne?
Very well. 79 of the 90 rated firms hold 4.5 stars or better. The average is 4.7.
What is the difference between a lawyer and a migration agent?
Both can lodge visa applications, but an immigration lawyer can also give legal advice and represent you in court if a matter goes beyond the tribunal. For complex or refused cases, a lawyer is often the safer choice.
Can I appeal a visa refusal?
In many cases yes. Refusals and cancellations can often be reviewed by the Administrative Review Tribunal within strict time limits. An immigration lawyer can confirm your appeal rights and the deadline that applies to you.
How long do visa applications take?
Processing times vary widely by visa type and individual circumstances. A lawyer cannot speed up the department, but a complete, well-prepared application reduces the risk of delays and requests for more information.
