S56 Request for Further Information (RFI)

Understanding Requests for Further Information (RFI) in the Visa Application Process

If you’re applying for a visa, you may receive a Request for Further Information (RFI) from Immigration. This request asks you to provide additional details, documents, or clarifications about your visa application.

Types of Requests in an RFI

RFIs can range from simple to complex:

  • Simple RFIs: These may include straightforward requests, such as a police check or medical report.
  • Complex RFIs: In some cases, the request may ask for an explanation about inconsistencies between previous visa applications and the information in your current application.

28-Day Deadline for RFIs

After receiving an RFI, you will typically have 28 days to respond. Time is critical, and delays in providing the requested information can affect the outcome of your application.

Responding Strategically to RFIs

The nature of the request in your RFI will determine the type of response required. It’s important to take a careful, strategic approach, particularly when dealing with complex requests.
