In Reply to: Thanks Maggie but what did you do ? posted by luvthe Northern Territory on Tuesday, 7. June 2011 at 17:51 Bali Time:
I went into the Immigration Office in Sydney to ask why the application had been declined. It was for 2 adults and 1 child (they were coming to stay with us for 2 weeks at Xmas). They said they didn't think they would go home after the 2 weeks. I said it was only for Xmas and we would guarantee they would go home. No go. The only way was to re-submit the application (and pay the fee again!) but as we couldn't add anything extra we decided not to do it. The sound of our friend crying on the phone when we told them was devastating. We are going to try again in the future, so fingers crossed.
Did they tell you why the visa was not approved?
