Key Points
- Frequent causes of refusal: Missing documents, incorrect or inconsistent information, insufficient financial evidence, not meeting eligibility requirements, and failure to demonstrate genuine intent.
- Small mistakes can cost: Even minor errors, like incomplete forms or mismatched details, can lead to a refusal, making careful preparation essential.
- Options after refusal: Applicants may appeal, request a review, or reapply; seeking guidance from a registered migration agent or legal expert increases the likelihood of success.
