How to request Visa Records from Australian Embassy
Is there a way we can request past Visa records or the Visa rejection letter from Australian Embassy?
I applied for an Australia Student Visa in 2008 and my Visa got rejected in 2009. I don't have the rejection letter with me. I was young then and did not even bother to ask the Education consultancy about the rejection letter. My Consultancy managed the communication with Embassy. I did not understand the importance of this at that time. Now the consultancy is closed.
Now I am planning to apply for a UK Dependent Visa and I need help in understanding how to declare my Refusal.
Do I need to enter the exact date of refusal in the UK dependent form? I don't know the exact date. Can I request the Visa rejection letter from Australian Embassy?
Best Answer
If you can’t remember the exact date and/or don’t have any paperwork relating to the rejection, you should enter your best ‘guesstimate’ and provide an explanation in your covering letter.
Having said that, if time permits, I would email your local Australian Embassy https://immi.homeaffairs.gov.au/help-support/contact-us/offices-and-locations to ask how to get details of your Australian immigration record. A quick search of the Australian Dept of Home Affairs website didn’t reveal any other way of obtaining the information you need.
