  • Denial of Australia Student Visa Application

    Posted by Adam on March 16, 2025 at 11:43 am

    Greetings everyone,

    My family (my wife, our 2-year-old son, and I) arrived in Australia in May 2024 on a visitor visa.

    In June 2024, we applied for an onshore Student Visa Subclass 500 for my wife, who was eager to pursue a diploma in Early Childhood Education (ECE).

    However, after waiting and living under Bridging Visa A for 10 months, we received a refusal letter from the Australian Department of Home Affairs yesterday, stating that they believe we are not genuine students.

    Our immigration consultant has informed us that we can submit an appeal to the Administrative Appeals Tribunal (AAT), which will review our case and issue a decision; however, this process may take one to two years.

    As we are currently holding Bridging Visa A, we are unable to work in Australia. My question is: once we submit the appeal, is there any possibility of obtaining a work permit?

    It has become increasingly challenging and disheartening to remain at home without employment. 😔

    I am seeking expert advice on how to navigate this situation effectively.
