📂 Understanding AAT Appeals

When the Administrative Appeals Tribunal (AAT) handles your visa refusal or cancellation appeal, it reassesses the full case file, reviews the legal framework, and makes a fresh decision based on facts and evidence. ⏳Processing times vary from 12 to 18 months depending on the complexity of your case.

🔁 What Happens After AAT’s Decision?

If the AAT decides to affirm the original refusal, don’t worry — you’re not out of options. You may be able to:

• Take the case to the Federal Court
• Apply for Ministerial Intervention

These routes require expert handling, and that’s where LUMINS steps in.
