A re-entry ban will apply, if:
you overstay your visa by more than 28 days
your visa is cancelled because:
you provided false documents or false information to the Department of Immigration and Border Protection (DIBP)
you are considered to be a risk to the health, safety or good order of the Australian community
you are convicted of an offence against a law of the Commonwealth, or a law of an Australian state or territory
you are found to have breached a visa condition, for example, you worked when your visa had a no work condition
you hold a student visa but have failed to maintain appropriate enrolment, breached another visa condition, or have been found not to be a genuine student
you hold a visitor visa but were found not to be in Australia as a genuine visitor
- I don't think yung case mo is under these circumstances,

@Cassey - salamat, sige gagawin namin yan.
According kay husband email lang daw ang ginawa ni agent, at naghihintay pa din ng sagot. That was wednesday pa, sana tumawag siya agad sa dibp not email. And then the agent informed him today lang about the result, kasi nagtanong na nga siya ng update (he's very attentive sa process kasi,and diligent magtanong, and ilan beses din niyang ni-confirm kung uploaded ba lahat, the agent kept saying yes naman). Although may point naman si agent na bakit wala man lang correspondence about that document, why outright refusal naman? Ngayon, maghihintay pa kami ng Lunes para malaman, yan ay kung sasagot si CO. Crossing our fingers na sumagot naman. We are hoping for something positive. Salamat ulet guys!
