NSW What happens with my visa after I withdrawn my visa?

[Uka]

Hi. I applied protection visa onshore many years ago. My case is now in full federal court. I want to withdraw my application and go back to my country. What is going to happen with my visa after I withdraw my application? Does my bridging visa will cancelled straight away and I become illegal? Or does immigration give me 28 days notice to leave this country? Please, help

In the past every time my applications get refused I get 28 days to appeal for next level.
But this time I don’t know what’s going to happen after I request to withdraw courts case? Please, advice. Many thanks

Hi Uka

You will need to notify the FCA by completing certain form that you wish to withdraw your appeal application. The Dept will then be notified and you will have to leave the country or you will become an unlawful non-citizen. If your BV is cancelled, you may apply for a BVE to allow you to depart the country.

f you decide to withdraw your protection visa application while your case is in the Federal Court, here’s what typically happens:

1. Bridging Visa Status: If you are on a Bridging Visa, it will likely be canceled once you withdraw your application. However, it’s important to note that this doesn’t automatically make you illegal. Your Bridging Visa may stay valid for a short time while the withdrawal is processed. However, do not assume it will last forever.
2. Departure: Immigration usually gives you a set time to leave Australia. This is often 28 days, but it is not guaranteed. The exact timeframe can vary depending on your circumstances and the specific conditions of your case.
3. Federal Court Decision: If you take your case out of the Federal Court, it could change your legal status in Australia. You will likely lose the chance to appeal. Make sure you understand what happens if you withdraw. It could affect your chances of applying for other visas later.

It is a good idea to talk to a migration agent or lawyer. They can give you advice based on your situation. This will help you understand any legal consequences and the best steps to take.
