Trusted Immigration Lawyers Across Parramatta & Australia
Australia's migration system is one of the most complex in the world, and a small mistake on an application can lead to a refusal, a delay, or years of uncertainty. Crown Attorneys helps individuals, families and businesses navigate that system with confidence. From our office in the heart of Parramatta, we act for clients right across Western Sydney's multicultural communities — and, through phone and video consultations, for clients elsewhere in Australia and overseas. Whether you are applying for your first visa, sponsoring a worker, responding to a refusal, or taking the final step toward Australian citizenship, our team explains your options in plain English and guides you through every stage.
We understand that a visa decision can affect your job, your family and your future in Australia. That is why we focus on getting applications right the first time — carefully assessing eligibility, preparing thorough supporting evidence, and giving you honest advice about your prospects before you commit. Migration law and policy change frequently, so we keep our advice current and tailored to your individual circumstances.

Choosing the Right Visa Pathway
With dozens of visa subclasses available, choosing the right pathway is often the hardest part. Partner and spouse visas allow Australians and permanent residents to sponsor a partner, while skilled and employer-sponsored visas suit people whose occupation is in demand. International students, visitors, and business and investor migrants each have their own dedicated streams, with their own eligibility criteria and conditions. The official starting point for every pathway is the Department of Home Affairs, and you can browse the full range of options on the Department of Home Affairs immigration website. We help you cut through that complexity, identify the pathways you genuinely qualify for, and choose the one that best fits your goals.
How We Handle Your Application
Every matter is different, but our approach follows a clear, structured process so you always know what happens next:
- Assess eligibility and visa options. We review your circumstances, identify the visa subclasses you may qualify for, and recommend the strongest pathway.
- Prepare and lodge a complete application. We compile your forms and supporting evidence into a thorough, well-organised application designed to address the legal criteria up front.
- Respond to the Department. If the Department requests further information or raises concerns, we prepare a considered, timely response on your behalf.
- Advise on review or appeal. If an application is refused, we explain your review and appeal options and the time limits that apply, so you can decide on the next step.
Visa Refusals, Cancellations & Appeals
A refusal or cancellation is stressful, but it is rarely the end of the road. Many decisions made by the Department can be reviewed by the Administrative Review Tribunal (ART) — the independent body that replaced the former Administrative Appeals Tribunal (AAT). The Tribunal can look at the decision afresh and, in appropriate cases, set it aside. Strict time limits apply to lodging a review, and those time limits can be very short, so it is important to get advice quickly. We assess whether a review is available, advise honestly on your prospects, and prepare and present your case to give it the best possible chance.
Australian Citizenship Applications
For many of our clients, Australian citizenship is the final milestone in a long migration journey. We assist with citizenship by conferral applications, helping you confirm you meet the residence requirements, assemble the right documentation, and prepare for the citizenship test and interview. Where an application is delayed or refused, we can advise on your options and, where appropriate, on review through the Administrative Review Tribunal.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which visa is right for me?
The right visa depends on your goals, your circumstances and your eligibility — for example, whether you are joining a partner, working in a skilled occupation, studying, visiting, or investing in a business. There are many subclasses, each with its own criteria. We assess your situation, explain the realistic pathways available to you, and recommend the option that best fits your circumstances.
What happens if my visa is refused or cancelled?
A refusal or cancellation is not necessarily the end of the matter. Depending on the decision, you may be able to apply for a review, and strict time limits usually apply. We review the decision and the reasons given, advise honestly on your options and prospects, and act quickly so you do not miss any deadline.
Can I appeal a refusal?
Many decisions made by the Department can be reviewed by the Administrative Review Tribunal (ART), which replaced the former Administrative Appeals Tribunal. The Tribunal can reconsider the decision and, in appropriate cases, set it aside. Because the time limits to lodge a review can be very short, it is important to seek advice as soon as you receive a decision.
How long do visa applications take?
Processing times vary by visa type, the completeness of the application, and the Department's current workload, so we avoid promising a fixed timeframe. A well-prepared application with complete supporting evidence helps avoid delays caused by requests for further information. We will give you a realistic picture of what to expect for your specific application.
Can you help with citizenship?
Yes. We assist with Australian citizenship by conferral applications, including confirming you meet the residence requirements, preparing your documentation, and getting you ready for the citizenship test and interview. If a citizenship application is delayed or refused, we can advise on your options.
How much does an immigration lawyer cost?
Costs depend on the type of matter and its complexity — a straightforward visa application differs from a contested review. We offer fixed-fee options for some matters and provide a clear cost agreement up front, so you understand the fees before any work begins. Contact us for an estimate specific to your situation.
Do you offer a free initial consultation?
Yes. We offer a confidential initial consultation so you can explain your situation and understand your options before deciding how to proceed. Consultations are available at our Parramatta office or by phone or video. You can reach us on 1800 018 018 or at info@crownattorneys.com.
