<h1>Immigration consultant's 'fast' visitor visa (subclass 600) claims raise consumer law issues under ACL s18 and adviser rules</h1> An immigration consultancy claims to expedite Australian visitor visa (subclass 600) approvals by providing document preparation, priority processing, and client support, citing typical processing ranges of 16-37 days but alleging longer delays for poorly documented applications. The release highlights required fees (AUD 190 official fee as of Sept 2025), potential ancillary costs, and rising application volumes from one country. Legal issues include consumer protection and advertising laws (accuracy of success-rate and 'quick approval' claims), regulatory compliance for immigration advisers, disclosure of fees and services, and potential liability for reliance on advice or misrepresentations.
