Immigration Lawyers Melbourne
Immigration lawyers in Melbourne can help those foreign citizens who are currently living here facing visa issues, as well as those people who are seeking permanent residency and who may live in Australia or in another country.
Some time ago I had a friend from England who had illegally outstayed her 6 month tourist visa by a substantial period. Under Australian law, and with the current Melbourne based prime minister Julia Gillard and her opposition Tony Abbott both racing to the bottom in a fight against “boat people” the options for immigrants do not look good. It is very lucky my friend did not end up in a detention centre. Anything related to refugees and immigration laws are currently undergoing a lot of public scrutiny and media attention. It is disappointing in this day and age people are still treated poorly and that these are apparently the biggest issues concerning those in Australia. Or at least, that’s the trend politicians are following in their desperate bit for the populist vote.
In regards to my friend above, she got in touch with a fantastic immigration lawyer who was able to explain all her rights, and offer legal advice on the best plan of attack. If she had not sought such good advice it is likely she may have ended up in the Immigration Detention Centre at Maribyrnong, Melbourne, or possibly in Villawood, Sydney. Whilst the lawyer’s legal advice she received applied only to her case, I think it was the best possible result, and no extra court hearings or other legal costs were required.
Anyone currently living here who has any questions about their immigration status can contact a number of specialist Melbourne immigration lawyers who deal with these laws. It is your human right to receive fair treatment, and these lawyers are usually more affordable than big litigation lawyers and the fees of No win No fee lawyers.
