What are the possibilities of Success?

To secure a successful AAT appeal against an AAT decision, the applicant must convince the judge overseeing the appeal that the AAT committed a legal mistake and this mistake had a bearing on the outcome being disputed.

Legal errors may include:

• Failing to ensure fair procedures for a party.
• Misinterpreting a relevant law related to the case.
• For courses/programs lasting less than six months, a study permit issued by an officer is not necessary.

However, if an error of law is established the judge can reject the appeal if they believe that the AAT arrived at a decision that was correct on the available information.

The judge hearing an appeal from a decision of an immigration case officer:

• The judge does not assess any new evidence not previously presented in the case unless there are particular situations arise.
• The judge does not summon witnesses to testify.
• The judge does thoroughly examine all the documents filed by the parties in the original case.
