What are the key requirements for issuing a Notice of Intention to Consider Refusal (NOICR) on character grounds under section 501?
You may be distressed and overwhelmed with the news that your visa may be refused upon receiving a Notice of Intention to Consider Refusal (NOICR) on character grounds under section 501 of the Migration Act.
Let us break down the requirements for a case officer to issue a NOICR for your visa application.
The case officer believes the visa applicant does not meet the character requirements and would like to pursue a visa refusal on character grounds under section 501.
The NOICR must include the following:
A full description of the alleged activities that highlight the applicant within the character test.
To provide evidence or information to support the allegations and the source of this evidence.
The applicant will be given a strict response timeframe to build a legal submission to respond. As this is highly technical and complex as required references of case laws and legislations, it is best for the applicant to seek professional assistance from an Accredited Specialist in Immigration Law.
If more time is needed, the applicant and/or their representative can request an extension, which the case officer must consider.
