Lawpoint Immigration

Frequently asked questions

My immigration application or visa was refused. Can Lawpoint Immigration help?

Yes. Refusal reviews and appeals are a core part of the practice, including appeals before the Immigration Appeal Division and applications for judicial review at the Federal Court. The firm also takes on inadmissibility hearings and cases some other offices decline.

My application has been sitting with immigration for a long time with no update. What can I do?

Lawpoint Immigration handles mandamus applications, a Federal Court process used to push a stalled file toward a decision. Per the firm's own explainer, a stalled application can typically expect a resolution within 40 to 60 days after the mandamus process is started.
