Delayed Applications
Waited too long for Home Affairs? We push pending applications to a decision.
Long delays in finalising applications are common at the Department of Home Affairs. Our legal service works to expedite pending applications, through the courts where necessary, to bring you a final outcome.
Applications we can help finalise
- Temporary residence visas
- Permanent residence permits
- Appeals
- Reviews
How we approach it
We first submit a written request to expedite, drafted with the legal grounds that matter. If the request is not acted on within a reasonable time, a court order may be the next step, which we will discuss with you.
Know your route before you apply
A consultation confirms whether this is the right application for you, and what it will take.
