17 Mar How JLIA Helps with Pending Visa Appeals
Once an application for temporary or permanent residency is submitted, it is up to the Department of Home Affairs (DHA) to adjudicate and determine whether the visa application is approved or rejected. In compliance with sections 8(4) and 8(6) of the Immigration Act, if the application is rejected, an applicant can apply to appeal the rejection of the application. However, an appeal can take as little as two months or up to two years to receive an outcome. Legal assistance during this process can help accelerate unreasonable or delayed decisions.
High Court Litigation
There are various reasons as to why one would consider undergoing litigation. If your visa application is delayed beyond the usual processing time and repeated follow-ups have not led to an outcome, you might want to consider taking this step.
While litigation may seem excessive, High Court appearances are frequently the most effective line of action for addressing and resolving concerns for an application that has been pending or has been left unsettled for an unreasonably long period of time. Obtaining orders from the High Court forces the DHA to adhere to a deadline for finalising an application. Although litigation compels the DHA to process and evaluate your application, it does not guarantee that your application will be approved.
