Any decisions made by immigration authorities worldwide, such as Delegates of the Minister or Case Officers in immigration departments, are subject to review and appeal processes. Merits review provides an opportunity for administrative reconsideration of a case, ensuring that decisions are made fairly and in accordance with the applicable legislative framework.
How it Works: If your visa application has been refused or your visa has been cancelled, you have the right to seek review and appeal of the decision. Depending on the visa type and the country’s immigration laws, you may be able to apply for review to an independent merits review body, such as the Migration Review Tribunal (MRT), Administrative Appeals Tribunal (AAT), or Refugee Review Tribunal (RRT).
These review bodies operate independently from immigration authorities and have the authority to reconsider decisions made by the primary decision maker. They have the power to review the case within the same legislative framework as the initial decision maker and may exercise all powers and discretions conferred on them.
