Have you received a Natural Justice Letter?
The people at immigration are not so bad. Usually, you will receive the letter under section 57 of the Migration Act when a case officer has formed a view that they should refuse your visa application.
The Department is being kind. The purpose of the section 57 letter (also known as a Natural Justice Letter) is to allow you to recover from a likely refusal position.
It could be that the decision-maker has missed something fundamental. Or something critical to the application simply does not appear on the Departmental file.
It could also be that the case officer is not satisfied that you have met very basic requirements. This could be either at the time of your application or the time of the Department’s decision.
This letter is an opportunity for the case officer to be fair with you. Yes, they can be nice! What you need to do is to ensure that your application does have merits given the concern or multiple concerns raised by the departmental officer in their letter.
If your application does not have merit, you might be better off withdrawing your application.
Whether you should respond to the Natural Justice Letter or you should simply withdraw the application it’s something that requires careful consideration.
One thing that I see all the time is people providing far more information than is required in relation to the letter.
Providing the wrong information or too much information or information responses that are not properly worded, or which do not address the point being raised will certainly prejudice your already weak position.
To discuss how best to respond to a Natural Justice Letter, please book a consultation with me.

Hello, I applied for a tourist visa for my family to visit me in Australia through an exchange agency. My brother’s visa was denied due to immigration sending letter s57 requesting proof of veracity of bank statements provided. However, the agent who was applying for the visa did not verify this letter and so the visa was denied without being able to justify the authenticity of the documents provided. Is it possible to apply the visa again? Are there any chances of a new application being approved and providing the documents more clearly?

Iam aware that I signed a letter conformation her job employment to one of my employees to go for a tourist visa in Australia, I have no bad intention to charge my employee.
I felt for her when her husband got drunk and came abuse her in office,, every fortnight.
The husband is into Mariwana, achohol and called into my workplace to bash his wife up in front of Staffg…. I felt sorry for her, when she came asking me to confirm her job employment on letter I agreed and signed…
The employee went to Ausie for holiday and came back in PNG….she is not currently working with me hence she worked with othe company.

Hi Sir,
I am a PhD applicant and received s57 Natural Justice letter stating “The Department believes this applicant to be you. As you are determined by the Foreign Minister, or a person authorized by the Foreign Minister, to be a person whose presence in Australia may be directly or indirectly associated with the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction, this means that you have failed to meet Public Interest Criterion 4003(b). The Migration Act 1958 requires that your application be refused if the Minister (or a delegate) is not satisfied that you meet all of the criteria for the visa.
Please help me out in understanding this

Hello Sir,
I got natural justice today on 14th of July 2022. It was based on and only on expired/cancelled CoE ;( why didn’t they asked for updated CoE instead of sending natural justice?
Anonymous says
hey! what happened afterwards did you get the visa? I received S57 in March for the same reason (Expired COE). I updated the new COE but haven’t heard back since.
I would highly appreciate a reply.
Thank You!

Hi Sir,
I am applying visa 491 from offshore. Yesterday I received S57 nature justice letter from CO. They caught my mistake of not declaring previous visa refusal.I was asked to comment/clarify this point. To be honest, I completely forgot to disclose my Canada visa refusal that happened in 2019. It was an oversight mistake when completing form 80. Can you advice me how to overcome this? What are the best reasons I need to response to CO. Thanks

Sir,
Is receiving Australian immi s57 natural justice a lifetime black mark, that would restrict me from migrating even to any other country.?
Kindly guide.!
Nilesh Nandan says
Not always.
You see there are section 57 letters and there are section 57 letters. Get what I mean. Some section 57 letters are rather easy to navigate others can be a scar upon any further application for Australia or indeed for any other country. It all depends on the culpability and the type of adverse information that has been uncovered.
