Case Summary
Mr. Jiang was employed at a large abattoir in a remote area of Queensland. His employer sponsored him for a 457 work visa under a Labour Agreement, allowing him to enter Australia for work. Two years later, his employer submitted an application to transition his 457 visa to a permanent residency under the 186 visa scheme. However, this application was refused by the DoHA due to allegations that the work reference letter submitted during the 457 visa stage was a false document.
Subsequently, Mr. Jiang reached out to us. We took on his AAT (Administrative Appeals Tribunal) case. Despite the high difficulty of cases involving allegations of false documentation, we committed ourselves to fighting for his rights.
The work reference letter Mr. Jiang submitted came from a meat processing plant in a rural area of Northern China, where he had worked over six years prior. The plant’s management had a vague recollection of his employment, making it challenging to provide accurate information. To complicate matters further, the plant had not paid social security or income taxes for its employees during his employment, nor were there formal employment contracts, making it extremely difficult to argue the legality of his employment.
In preparation for the hearing, Mr. Jiang fully cooperated with us. After thoroughly researching the relevant case law, we presented a strong case during the hearing. Ultimately, we gained the recognition of the AAT tribunal member, who highly praised our professionalism.
Throughout the case, we provided not only legal support but also patience and professionalism, helping to alleviate the anxiety of Mr. Jiang and his wife. We stood by their side, and in the end, achieved a victorious outcome.
No matter how challenging the situation, we are dedicated to striving for the best possible results for our clients.
