Temporary Graduate Subclass 485 is for international students who have completed their Australian qualification. This visa helps them gain relevant experience.

There are three types of Subclasses 485 visa:

Post-Vocational Education Work Stream
Post-Higher Education Workstream
Second-Post-Higher Education Workstream

Reasons for Temporary Graduate Visa Subclass Refusals

There are multiple reasons for the 485 visa refusal. While many international students use registered migration agents for their 485-visa application, some lodge a 485-visa application themselves because they think it is not complex and very simple to do.
We recently had a client who lodged his 485 visa in the Post-Vocational Education Work Stream. He got a 485-visa refusal since he lodged his application himself and did not complete the requirements or satisfy the criterion. It was a costly decision to apply for his 485 visa himself.

However, he was very fortunate that since he was still a student visa holder, we could lodge a 485 visa for him, which was subsequently granted in 3 days. If he did not have a substantial visa, the visa refusal would have gone through a costly ART process with almost no chance of winning in his case.

But he still had to pay the 485 visa fees again, along with our professional fees. If he had chosen to lodge his 485-visa application through a registered migration agent, he could have avoided this refusal since they specialize in migration law and these sorts of cases.

The question to remember is whether it is worth not using a professional for your visas because you have already spent a lot of money on your qualifications, and your career is at stake.

It is very important to understand that the 485 visa has multiple requirements that must be completed when the application is lodged. If these requirements are completed after the application has been lodged, it leads to a 485 visa refusal.

You must satisfy many requirements at the time of the application to avoid a 485 visa refusal. These requirements include English test results, Australian Federal Police (AFP) checks, and health insurance.
