Immigration Legal Assessment

An Immigration Legal Assessment performed by AMIS pvs comprises a number of steps.

Before we proceed with an assessment you should review the steps below.

Please note, the links provided to certain materials in this section should not be relied upon as current or exhaustive links. These links are provided solely to demonstrate some of the concepts involved in a comprehensive immigration legal assessment.

STEP 1

Taking as our starting point your objective, being Temporary or Permanent residence (or a combination of both) we select the classes of visa that may be appropriate for you.

Visa classes are major groupings and comprise permanent and temporary visa subclasses of a certain character.

STEP 2

Having selected the visa class or classes we believe are most appropriate to your objectives we then proceed to identify each visa subclass from within those classes which we believe may be appropriate.

STEP 3

Using the information you provide to us we assess you against the requirements of each visa subclass we have identified as appropriate and other materials relating to your skills and experience. Skills and experience are examined with reference to amongst other things the ASCO Dictionary and the requirements of the relevant Australian assessing authorities then compared with certain Gazetted lists such as MODL and SOL.

STEP 4

We further examine you against the relevant legislative requirements such as the Schedules of the Migration Regulations and other companion materials such as the Procedures Advice Manuals and Migration Series Instructions.

The Schedules prescribe the additional criteria you may need to satisfy to be approved for a visa of a given subclass.

STEP 5

Finally we bring together the elements of our assessment process into a written advice designed to focus on the best match between your objectives, the information you provide to us and the law and policy as they stand at the time of our assessment.

If you do not provide certain information to us or provide information that is incomplete or inaccurate then our advice may be flawed.
