Below is the Sample SOP for Australia Visitor Visa After Refusal
To
The Visa Officer
Australian High Commission,
Sub: Application in response to visitor visa refused on 17/04/2022 (5671654951)
Dear Sir/Madam,
I am writing to express my sincere desire to obtain approval for my upcoming journey to Australia. As an Indian citizen, I am excited to visit my sister, who currently resides at <add address>, and celebrate a series of birthdays with our family. October holds great significance for us, as my niece will be turning one, and we have multiple birthdays in the same month. My sister has planned an extravagant celebration at a party hall in Australia and has urged me to attend this momentous occasion. Naturally, I am equally enthusiastic about accompanying her and making her feel cherished. Consequently, I have already made arrangements for my trip, which is scheduled from <add the date of arrival> to <add the date of departure>.
However, I must bring to your attention that my previous visa application was rejected due to the following reason(s):
The applicant did not satisfy the provisions of the Migration Regulations 1994.
(a) whether the applicant has complied substantially with the conditions to which the last substantive visa, or any subsequent bridging visa, held by the applicant was subject; and
(b) whether the applicant intends to comply with the conditions to which the Subclass 600 visa would be subject; and
(c) any other relevant matter.
I am composing this letter to offer a comprehensive explanation regarding the previous denial of my visa application. In accordance with the Migration Regulations Act of 1994, I acknowledge the rejection of my previous application and I am fully committed to resolving any concerns or issues that may have contributed to that outcome. My genuine intention is that this letter will effectively shed light on my circumstances and aspirations.
After thoughtful introspection and contemplation, I have discerned plausible explanations for the rejection of my prior application. It appears that a lack of clarity in articulating my travel purpose, financial stability, or connections to my home country may have played a role. I accept complete accountability for any deficiencies in my initial submission and want to assure you that I have actively taken steps to address these concerns.
Subsequent to my previous application, I have diligently worked towards improving my documentation and presenting a more thorough depiction of my situation. I hope that by the end of this letter, you will gain a comprehensive understanding of my genuine intentions to visit Australia.
Purpose of visit
The primary purpose of my visit is to reunite with my sister and her beautiful family, which includes her newborn daughter, four-year-old son, and spouse. We have been separated for a considerable period, and the emotional bond between us as siblings remains incredibly strong. On October 19th, we will celebrate my niece’s first birthday at their residence, where all close family members and relatives will gather to mark the occasion. Subsequently, on November 1st, we will attend a Sukhmani Path at the Austral Gurdwara, followed by a grand birthday celebration on November 5th, commemorating both including my nephew’s birthday on November 3rd. It is worth noting that my sister’s and my birthdays fall on the 12th and 24th of November, respectively. Although I will be celebrating my own birthday with my family in India, I am committed to ensuring my sister feels loved and cherished during this joyous time. The abundance of birthdays in November brings immense happiness and gratitude to our lives, prompting us to celebrate this special occasion together. My sister has already begun preparations and eagerly anticipates my arrival. The prospect of meeting her beautiful family, especially my newborn niece whom I have mostly seen through video conferencing, fills me with overwhelming joy.
Financial ability to fund this trip
By standing beside my sister, I know that her happiness will multiply, and as a responsible brother, I am dedicated to bringing more joy into her life. Throughout my stay in Australia, I will be residing with my sister’s family and will contribute significantly to my living expenses. As a well-established professional with a stable income of AUD 23,917.59 and substantial assets totaling AUD 765,970.13, I can confidently affirm that I possess the necessary financial means to fulfill all my obligations during my time abroad. Moreover, I have a strong support network consisting of my parents, spouse, friends, and relatives in India, who will provide additional assistance in case of any unforeseen expenses. I am deeply grateful for their unwavering support and firmly believe that they will continue to aid me, ensuring a smooth and enjoyable journey without significant financial burdens.
Considering the meticulous planning I have undertaken for my trip and my ability to self-fund it, I have scheduled a visit of <duration> days from <month, year> to <month, year>. I am fully confident that I have more than enough resources to cover all my travel expenses, living costs, and the planned shopping for my entire family.
Family ties
When contemplating my return to India, I am resolute in my decision to go back to my home country. My unwavering commitment to my parents, spouse, and especially my one-month-old daughter, who holds a special place in my heart, drives this determination. My elderly parents depend on me for support in all circumstances, and as a devoted son and dedicated family man, I cannot fathom the idea of overstaying in a foreign country. Furthermore, my dedication to my current employment is unparalleled, and I cannot afford to disappoint my employer by not returning to work on time. Failing to fulfill my professional obligations could have serious consequences, which I am determined to avoid at all costs. Also, I manage our Agriculture Farm on lease and it is my sheer responsibility to return home and continue the good work for the welfare of my family. With my family relying on me, my sole focus is on creating cherished memories during my international trip to Australia, firmly believing that it will strengthen the bond between my sister and her family.
Conclusion
I kindly request your favorable consideration in granting me a visitor visa for Australia, enabling me to be an invaluable part of the celebrations hosted by my sister. I want to assure you that I have thoroughly familiarized myself with all the Immigration Rules and will strictly adhere to them throughout my visit. It is also important to note that I have received full vaccination against COVID-19, ensuring that I do not pose any enduring health risks to the people of Australia. I sincerely hope that my genuine intentions and unwavering commitment have convinced you of my eligibility for a valid visa grant. Thank you in advance for your kind attention and consideration.
Yours sincerely,
Amardeep Singh
