Hi kell and Gill
Not sure I can live up to the rave you gave me Gill. however what you
say is true. I did a lot of RRV cases at the Tribunal. The ones we dealt
with tended to be the ones where people had no been in oz for the 2
years out of 5.
The shortest period I remember for a successful review was 3 days. Keep
in mind tho, that this person was successful at the Tribunal-not the
dept. It was quite a battle for this person and convincing the Tribunal
they should get it wasn't easy. The Tribunal member and I spent a lot of
time discussing it before the Member made the decision.
To be successful in such a case you need to show strong ties to
Australia. This can mean you have family in oz, a job or a business or
anything else you can think of.
Good advice, of course, is always worth a lot. If you want an
agent/solicitor to help then let me know. Our fees are reasonable. If
you want to email me directly I can give you a quick assessment (no
charge for this).
My email's on the website. I know it's an ugly site but a new one is
coming soon!
