Migration Agent Suspended for Using VEVO Without Consent
Office of the Migration Agents Registration Authority (OMARA) suspended a Registered Migration Agent (RMA) for accessing personal and immigration information of a person who is not their client through the Department of Home Affairs’ Visa Entitlement Verification Online (VEVO) system without consent.
The Australian government has temporarily shut down its visa processing operations in Iran after it received warning that some migration agents were corruptly obtaining visa through a contact in the Australian embassy in Tehran.
