Ask an Australian migration lawyer about your Prospective Marriage visa: the subclass 300 enquiry form
This enquiry form sends a private Prospective Marriage visa question to Australian Migration Lawyers. A reference appears only after sending is accepted and recorded. If a visa end date or refusal deadline is close, use the official route in your notice and contact a lawyer directly; this form does not stop a deadline.
For a subclass 300 refusal, the Australian sponsor—not the applicant—applies to the Administrative Review Tribunal, ordinarily within 28 days after the day of notification; the Tribunal cannot extend that limit under Migration Act 1958 s 347 and Migration Regulations 1994 reg 4.02(5)(r), as at 3 October 2026. The shorter immigration-detention limit is 14 days.
A 300 cannot be extended under Migration Regulations 1994 cl 300.511 and Home Affairs’ “Visa about to expire” page, updated 24 September 2026. For a wedding in Australia, the Notice of Intended Marriage must ordinarily reach the celebrant at least 1 month before the wedding under Marriage Act 1961 s 42(1)(a).
Enquiry status: The form sends the details you enter to Australian Migration Lawyers after you submit. It does not lodge an application, request review or preserve a deadline.
Who answers your enquiry
Submitted enquiries are addressed to Australian Migration Lawyers. An Australian migration lawyer can advise on your particular application or sponsorship; Migration Act 1958 s 280(3) permits an Australian legal practitioner to give immigration assistance in connection with legal practice. The Prospective Marriage visa lawyer guide explains the work a lawyer can do.
What to include
Before sending a question or contacting a lawyer directly, have these details ready:
- Your visa end date: copy it from your grant letter.
- Your refusal date and notification method: keep the decision and delivery record.
- Where the applicant is now: in or outside Australia.
- Your question: explain what happened, what you need to decide and the wedding date if one is set.
Avoid sending passport numbers, passwords or sensitive relationship details until you know the recipient and a secure delivery route.
If a deadline is close
Viewing this page does not apply for review, extend a visa or stop any deadline.
The ART’s Immigration and citizenship guidance, checked on 3 October 2026, says it cannot extend the review limit. Its fees page, checked on the same date, listed an AUD 3,727 application fee, with a 50% reduction for financial hardship where approved; payment is due by the application deadline. The ART replaced the Administrative Appeals Tribunal on 14 October 2024.
A partner visa with Australian Migration Lawyers usually costs $14,000 plus GST in professional fees, separate from the Home Affairs visa application charges.
If your wedding may fall after the 300 end date, compare the grant letter, notice date and ceremony date now. The visa-expiry guide sets out the general routes.
What happens after you send it
The shared form asks for name, reply email, a date type and optional date, applicant location, a question and privacy/contact consent. It has no phone field or upload. After the service accepts the email and records its status, the page shows a reference. A lawyer reply is separate; any paid legal work requires its own engagement and fee agreement.
Home Affairs’ Using a legal practitioner page, updated 30 September 2026, explains appointment using Form 956 and says a lawyer cannot speed processing or guarantee a visa.
Your privacy
Send only the details needed to explain the initial question; do not include passport numbers, passwords or sensitive documents. The privacy notice explains the recipient and site-copy handling.
