Where a Visa application is rejected, the Department of Home Affairs (DHA) issues a rejection letter outlining the reasons for the rejection. Their reasons vary from missing documents, not complying with the requirements of the specific visa applied for, or other reasons as deemed pertinent by the adjudicating official.
It is important to review the merits and confirm whether the adjudicator is just in their feedback or if an administrative error has been made in the adjudication. Where an error has been made, the applicant has ground for an appeal.
Rejections are further extremely sensitive as any appeal must be filed within 10 days of receiving the outcome. Expert and efficient assistance is of utmost importance to ensure a well-considered and comprehensively motivated submission.
The Xpatweb team has assisted many visa holders with rejections and in recent months especially where we have seen poor quality adjudication and a rise in the number of rejections on unjustifiable merits. This trend is likely due to the current backlog experienced by the DHA and which has put a strain on their resources.
The number of rejections directly impacts the number of appeals being received, which places the DHA ‘appeals section’ under immense pressure to resolve.
Our team of immigration specialists work with these applications on a daily basis and are best equipped to assist you with the appeal process where required.
Our scope of services includes, but is not limited to, drafting an appeal strategy well suited to your particular case and where we compile same for legal review based on the Department of Home Affairs’ compliance requirements.
