ART 决定审查类型
虽然 ART 能够重新审核部分签证决定,但并非所有的决定都在其管辖范围之内。具体而言,ART 可以审查的签证相关决定主要涵盖以下三大类别:
1. Migration decisions
依据《1958 年移民法》,ART 有权对以下类型的决定进行审查:
- Denial or cancellation of all types of visas
- Refusal of nomination for a profession, activity or position
- Prohibition, denial or revocation of approval of sponsors
- Matters involving requests for security
然而,请注意,ART 无法对以下类型的决定进行审查:
- Decision to cancel a visa taken personally by the Minister of the Interior or the Minister of Immigration
- A decision on whether you are eligible to apply for a review. You will be clearly informed of your right to apply for a review in the decision letter.
ART 费用:
- 在提交申请的截止日期前,您需缴纳 3,727 澳元的申请费。
- There is no filing fee if you appeal a transition visa decision that resulted in another person being placed in immigration detention.
- 若经 ART 认定,支付费用将给您带来严重的经济负担,您或许有机会获得高达 50%的费用减免。
Refunds:
若您的申请被判定为无效,ART 将全额退还您所支付的申请费。
若您满足费用减免的条件,ART 将退还您 50%的申请费。
若复审结果对您有利,ART 将退还您减免费用的 50%,或者您已支付的全部费用的 50%。
2. Refugee decisions
依据《1958 年移民法》,ART 有权对以下类型的决定进行审查:
- Decisions to refuse or cancel protection visas
- 然而,请注意,ART 无法对以下类型的决定进行审查:
- Decision to cancel a visa taken personally by the Minister of the Interior or the Minister of Immigration
ART 费用:
- You do not have to pay the application fee at the review stage of the application.
- 然而,若复审未能成功,您仍需承担 2,293 澳元的费用。
3. Character-related and other visa decisions
依据《1958 年移民法》,ART 有权对以下类型的决定进行审查:
- Denial or cancellation of any type of visa, including protection visas, for reasons of character, pursuant to article 501.
- Compulsory cancellation of your visa other than on the grounds of character under section 501CA.
- Refusal of a protection visa on grounds of character under section 5H(2), 36(1C) or 36(2C)
- Cancellation of business visas under article 134
然而,请注意,ART 无法对以下类型的决定进行审查:
Decision of Minister in person under section 501 or 501CA
Review of mandatory visa cancellation under section 501(3A) of the Migration Act
ART 费用:
在提交申请时,您需缴纳 1,195 澳元的申请费。
在特定的情况下,您只需支付 100 澳元的优惠申请费:
- If you have a Medicare card, Pensioner's Concessionary Card, Medicare for the Elderly card or other card that proves entitlement to Medicare benefits
- If you are in prison, immigration detention or otherwise detained in a public institution
- If you are under 18
– 若您正在领取青年津贴、Austudy 或 ABSTUDY 等 Centrelink 款项
– 若支付全额申请费会令您陷入经济困难。
Refunds:
- 如果您无需支付申请费,ART 将全额退还
- 如果 ART 决定您可以支付较低的费用,ART 将退还您支付的费用与 100 澳元之间的差额。
- 如果复审结果对您有利,ART 将退还您支付的费用与 100 澳元之间的差额。
关于ART费用支付方式
若需缴纳ART费用,您可采用现金或者通过电子转账(包含EFTPOS在内)两种方式进行支付;此外,您还可以选用信用卡(如万事达卡以及Visa卡)或者支票或汇票等方式进行支付。
但值得您注意的是,由于ART的申请费一般每年调整,敬请留意ART官方网站发布的最新费用,或者向已注册的移民代理人或移民律师进行咨询,以便获取最新的相关资讯。
If you intend to appeal a refusal decision, you are strongly advised to seek professional advice as the appeal process can be quite onerous and the outcome of the appeal will have a direct impact on your immigration status in Australia.
There are also strict time limits for filing a visa appeal. These deadlines can be very tight, especially when personal integrity is at stake. Therefore, we strongly recommend that you take immediate and decisive steps to seek professional help as soon as possible to ensure that you are able to file your appeal within the required deadlines. Unfortunately, delays in such matters may result in the loss of your right to challenge an unfavourable decision and may even require you to leave Australia.
