When you apply for a visa and the USCIS does not issue a visa, and the AAT confirms the refusal, you can apply for a Judicial Review. For Judicial Reviews involving immigration law cases, the Federal Circuit's filing fee is higher, but applicants can apply for a fee waiver if they are experiencing financial hardship. The application will be filed with the Federal Circuit, and then a directions hearing will be held to determine a timetable for filing documents and hearing your case. Typically, at the hearing, the attorney representing the Minister will file consent orders (consentorders) outlining your case and the scheduling arrangements. You may choose to agree to the consent order and not have a directions hearing, or you may not agree to the consent order, in which case the court will make an order about the timetable at the directions hearing.
