Immigration Law

Kohinoor Legal advises across the full range of visa and migration matters, with particular depth in visa refusals, visa cancellations, and review of migration decisions.

Not sure which pathway applies?

Visa refused or cancelled?

If a visa decision has affected you, review options may be available. Which pathway applies depends on the specific matter — Kohinoor Legal advises across the following, legally distinct routes.

Department decision

A visa is refused or cancelled

  1. Merits pathway

    ART Merits Review

    Re-examines the decision itself — the Administrative Review Tribunal considers the merits afresh and can substitute its own decision.

    Coming soon
  2. Legal pathway

    Judicial Review

    Examines whether the decision involved a legal or jurisdictional error — the court does not re-decide the merits, only the lawfulness of the process.

    Coming soon
  3. Last resort

    Ministerial Intervention

    A discretionary request considered only in limited circumstances, generally after other review avenues are exhausted.

    Coming soon

This diagram explains the shape of the decision, not a recommendation — whether a pathway is available, and which one applies, always depends on the specific matter.
