THINKING OF USING FRAUDULENT DOCUMENTS IN ORDER TO OBTAIN A VISA TO AUSTRALIA? DONT EVER THINK ABOUT IT! From 1 July 2013, all applicants for a Family Stream visa must satisfy the Fraud Public Interest Criterion (PIC) 4020. The Fraud PIC 4020 applies to all new applications and applications lodged before 1 July 2013 which have not yet been finalized. This includes decisions currently under review. Your application may be refused if it includes bogus documents or information that is false or misleading. This includes information given by you, a member of your family or a third party acting on your behalf. YOU AND YOUR FAMILY MAY ALSO BE SUBJECT TO A THREE YEAR BAR WHICH MIGHT PREVENT THE GRANT OF CERTAIN OTHER VISAS! The Fraud PIC 4020 has been applied to all Family Stream visas to minimise the level of fraud present in visa applications by providing a strong disincentive to those considering submitting false or misleading information in relation to an application (including review). The Fraud PIC 4020 strengthens the departments ability to refuse to grant a visa where applicants have provided any false or misleading information. If the department suspects an application contains fraudulent information, they we are required by law to seek your comments regarding issues concerning the genuineness of this information. This invitation also provides you with the opportunity to demonstrate compelling and/or compassionate reasons as to why the visa should be granted. You will be provided with 28 days to reply. Failure to do so will likely result in your application being refused. Do you have any questions about Australian Immigration Law? Ask us, we dont charge for our answers.
