Frequently Asked Questions
Enhance your skills, advance your career, and join a global network of professionals.
What is the difference between a registered migration agent and an immigration lawyer?
An immigration lawyer, like Daniel Moya, must complete an accredited law degree, be admitted to practice by a Supreme Court in Australia, and can represent clients in court appeals. Registered migration agents complete a shorter course and examination.
While both can assist with visa applications, only a lawyer can provide legal advice and representation for court matters like Judicial Reviews. It’s important to verify any agent’s registration with OMARA.
What happens during the free 15-minute consultation?
We encourage you to start with our Free 15-Minute Chat. For many migration law matters and issues, this initial discussion with Daniel Moya is designed to quickly understand your needs and see how we can assist.
If your situation is more complex and requires in-depth advice, document review, or a full strategy, we will then discuss the next steps, which would typically involve a comprehensive paid consultation. This ensures you understand the value we can provide before committing to a paid service, and if we determine during the free chat that we can’t assist with your specific issue, you haven’t incurred any cost.
Where is Moya Migration Law based, and can you help me if I'm not in Adelaide?
Our principal office is in Adelaide, South Australia. However, we represent clients from all over Australia and worldwide.
We effectively manage cases and communicate using virtual meetings (Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Google Meet) and phone consultations, making our experiencedise accessible regardless of your location.
How much will my visa application or appeal cost?
The cost depends on the type of visa or appeal and the complexity of your case. For many of our services, such as Partner Visas, Protection Visas, and AAT Appeals, we offer fixed-fee packages for clarity and peace of mind.
We will provide you with a clear quote for professional fees after an initial consultation where we can properly assess your needs.
My visa was refused or cancelled. What are my options?
If your visa has been refused or cancelled, it’s crucial to seek advice quickly as strict time limits often apply for lodging an appeal. Daniel Moya specialises in appeals to the Administrative Appeals Tribunal (AAT/ART) and Judicial Reviews in the Federal Courts.
Contact us for a free 15-minute call to discuss your decision and explore your review options.
Can you guarantee my visa will be granted or my appeal will be successful?
No migration agent or lawyer can guarantee a specific outcome, as the final decision rests with the Department of Home Affairs, the Tribunal, or the Courts. However, with Daniel Moya’s extensive experience (since 2002), we can provide an honest assessment of your prospects and meticulously prepare the strongest possible case to maximise your chances of success.
Do you handle complex migration issues?
Yes, Daniel Moya has significant experience in managing a wide range of complex migration matters, including visa refusals, cancellations, issues related to PIC 4020 (false or misleading information), character concerns, health waivers, and Ministerial Intervention requests. These situations require careful, experienced handling.
