Get Invitation To Comment Letter Help Here.

So you’ve received the Invitation to Comment letter issued under section 57 of the Migration Act?

This is usually because something is worrying the decision maker about your application for a visa for Australia.

It could well be that there is nothing problematic for you at all and that issues concerning the decision maker at the Department can easily be clarified.

If you are well organised, able to articulate your circumstances and have time to put together a response to the Invitation to Comment Letter, then you don’t need me.

However, if on the other hand you’re worried about what the Department case officer is thinking, then you might consider having a 10 minute chat with me to discuss your options further.

The Invitation to Comment letter is also known as a section 57 letter. Its name originates from the section of the Migration Act. Section 57 authorises the issue of the letter by a case officer to a visa applicant prior to making a decision in relation to a visa application.

Your Experience?

Please share your comments with me.

I’d love to know more about your experience with applying for this visa subclass!

    Dear sir,

    I applied for my daughters schooling visa along with my wife’s guardian visa. While applying I selected wrong option unknowingly and now I got letter from department under section s65. I don’t know what to do now. By mistake I selected that I selected “No” to the option where ask about if previously you visa for Australia rejected or not.

    Pls help me out what to do now. Or it’s better to withdraw the application.

    Regards,
    Arun kumar
