I am a student in Australia and My Mother wants to visit me and vacation in Aussie in July for a week from Indonesia, She applied for a visitor visa subclass 600 from 2 months ago. Today, Her visa application is rejected and I want to make her a new visa so that she can visit me. This is listed on her refusal notification:

We cannot consider your visa application any further.

The applicant's claims

The applicant has applied for the grant of a Visitor visa (subclass 600) to visit Australia for a temporary stay.
Information and evidence considered
I am a delegated decision maker under section 65 of the Migration Act 1958. In reaching my decision, I have considered the following:
● relevant legislation contained in the Migration Act and Migration Regulations 1994
● information contained in the Department's Procedural Instructions
● documents and information provided by the applicant(s)
● relevant information held on Departmental files.

Findings
On the basis of all the information available to me, including the documents and information the applicant provided, I find that the criteria for the grant of a Visitor (Tourist) visa in the Tourist stream are not satisfied.

Reasons
I have assessed the application and the reasons for my decision are detailed below. An application for a Visitor (Tourist) visa in the Tourist stream has been made by the applicant.
A visa cannot be granted unless the relevant criteria specified in the Migration Act and the Migration Regulations are satisfied.

In this case, I am not satisfied that clause 600.211 in Schedule 2 of the Migration Regulations is satisfied. This clause provides that:

600.211
The applicant genuinely intends to stay temporarily in Australia for the purpose for which the visa is granted, having regard to:
(a) whether the applicant has complied substantially with the conditions to which the last substantive visa, or any subsequent bridging visa, held by the applicant was subject; and
(b) whether the applicant intends to comply with the conditions to which the Subclass 600 visa would be subject; and
(c) any other relevant matter.

Under policy when considering “any other relevant matter”, decision makers may take into account a wide range of considerations to determine whether an applicant genuinely intends a temporary stay in Australia. This may include, but is not limited to, the applicant’s employment, economic and family circumstances, their credibility, the claimed purpose and period of stay, and the applicant’s previous travel history.

In assessing these criteria I have taken into account the information provided in your visa application form and the supporting documents provided. On balance, I find that you have not demonstrated sufficiently strong employment, economic, family or other commitments in Indonesia that would be sufficient incentive for you to return to your country.

My decision is based on the following factors

I also find that you have not provided sufficient detail about your travel purpose in Australia that is sufficient to satisfy me that you are intending to stay temporarily in Australia for the purpose for which the visa is granted.

You have provided evidence of limited previous travel or demonstrated previous compliance with immigration laws in Australia or other countries with immigration legislation similar to that of Australia. I therefore place limited weight on previous international travel as evidence that you will comply with your visa conditions and depart Australia within the validity of your visa.
After considering the information provided, I am not satisfied that the applicant genuinely intends to stay temporarily in Australia for the purposes set out above.

Therefore, I am not satisfied that the applicant meets the relevant criteria in clause 600.211 in Schedule 2 of the Migration Regulations.

Decision

As clause 600.211 is not satisfied, I find the criteria for the grant of a Visitor (Tourist) visa in the Tourist stream are not satisfied. Therefore, I refuse the application by the applicant for a Visitor (Tourist) visa in the Tourist stream.



Regarding this, what should I do to prevent her new visa from being rejected again? my mother has not traveled that much to another country, and does this really affect the visa? I don't understand what to do about that. What can I do next time?
How do I convince the officer that my mother is really going on a vacation and visiting me? any other proof/document that will help?

Thank you

You need to demonstrate enough the fact that she will indeed return back. Since she is applying under Tourist stream, this becomes all the more important (because there are no sponsors) and you can attach documents to substantiate the same, like her house / property back in Indianesia or maybe her business / job etc. If you don't have any such documents to provide, you can apply under Subclass 600 Family sponsored scheme and be a sponsor. Mind you, in that case, you need to consider your finances to be able to be a sponsor.

All the best..!

From what he/she is saying, i believe they are an international student. Hence, they are not eligible to be a sponsor. Only an Australian citizen or permanent resident can be a sponsor under Subclass 600 family stream.
