Refusals, inadmissibility & deadlines
When a matter is urgent, it needs a same-week conversation — and sometimes a referral
Prior refusals, inadmissibility concerns, and removal or hearing deadlines are flagged immediately. If a matter falls outside current scope, we follow a documented referral protocol to appropriate counsel.

Is this the conversation you need?
Some matters — a prior refusal, an inadmissibility finding, an approaching hearing or removal deadline — need urgent, careful handling. We review these only within Peter's current competence and scope. Where a matter requires immigration counsel or falls outside scope, our practice follows an ethical, documented referral protocol rather than taking on work outside its qualifications.
What a consultation can review

- Whether this practice can assist directly, or whether a referral to immigration counsel is the appropriate next step
General evidence categories
- Any decision letters, refusal letters or notices received
- Hearing, removal or deadline correspondence
- Prior application history and documents
How the engagement works

- 2
Case-review consultation
We review your documents and history to understand what has happened and what options exist.

Direct or refer
If the matter is within current scope, we define next steps and a written agreement. If not, we provide a documented referral to appropriate counsel.
What we cannot promise
This page does not offer a public blanket promise of representation for every complex matter. Scope is confirmed case by case.
A consultation can review your facts against current program instructions. No representative can guarantee eligibility, approval, invitation or processing time — government authorities make all decisions.
