Immigration minister appeal

If a visa is refused and an appeal to the AAT fails, you can continue to appeal to the Federal Circuit Court (FCC), or you can ask the Immigration Minister to intervene. If the minister agrees to intervene, the applicant is generally granted a visa. The ministerial intervention, together with the first trial of the Immigration Department, the review of the Office of Review and the appeal hearing of the Federal Circuit Court, constitutes the complete immigration law system in Australia, reflecting the fairness of Australia's immigration law. The USCIS and the Office of Review focus on the legal aspects of an application, the Federal Court is responsible for judging the legality of the USCIS and the Office of Review methods, and the Minister of Immigration may consider granting an application on humanitarian grounds, even if the application is not qualified from the perspective of immigration law.

The success rate of ministerial intervention is not high. The minister intervenes only in cases considered to be exceptional.
