What We Do
Comprehensive Visa & Migration Legal Services
From initial visa applications through to complex tribunal and court proceedings, EK Lawyers & Associates provides end-to-end legal support at every stage of the migration journey.
Visa Applications:
We prepare and lodge a wide range of visa applications, including partner, skilled, student, employer-sponsored, and humanitarian visas, with meticulous attention to detail to maximise the prospects of a positive decision at the primary stage.
Visa Reviews:
Received an unfavourable visa decision from the Department of Home Affairs? We assess your refusal, identify reviewable errors, and prepare a compelling case for merits review before the Administrative Review Tribunal (ART) or, where appropriate, the courts.
Visa Cancellation & Revocation Defence:
Visa cancellation or revocation is one of the most stressful events a person can face. We act quickly to respond to notices and challenge cancellation decisions. And if necessary, we can escalate the matter to the ART or the Federal Court to protect your right to remain in Australia.
Administrative Review Tribunal (ART):
Formerly the Administrative Appeals Tribunal (AAT), the ART is where many visa decisions are reviewed on their merits. We bring extensive tribunal advocacy experience to your hearing. We prepare thorough written submissions and represent you with confidence.
Judicial Reviews – Federal Court:
Where the ART or the Department has made a legal error, we pursue Judicial Review in the Federal Court of Australia. This is a specialist area requiring precise legal argument. Our lawyers are experienced in identifying jurisdictional errors and framing effective grounds of review.
Rescue of Mismanaged Cases:
Were you let down by a previous migration agent or lawyer? We regularly step in to take over poorly managed visa, tribunal, and court matters. We assess the damage, rebuild the case strategy, and do everything legally possible to recover your position.
Typical Timeline for Visa Review Cases
After lodging your ART application (which must be done within strict statutory deadlines), pre-hearing preparation typically takes two to six months. ART waiting times vary by case type — character and cancellation matters are often prioritised, while partner visa reviews can take 12 months or more. If the ART outcome is unfavourable and a legal error occurred, we advise promptly on Federal Court Judicial Review, which may add a further 12–36 months. We give you honest, realistic timelines from day one, so there are no surprises.
