Why applications on this route get refused
Incomplete documentary checklist
The Bureau of Immigration prescreens applications at the Central Receiving Unit before accepting them, missing any item from the published checklist for your category holds up or blocks filing.
How to avoid it: Download and follow the exact checklist for your specific 9G category (conversion vs. extension, commercial vs. non-commercial) before your appointment.
Employer certification missing or inconsistent
A missing or inconsistent Secretary's Certificate of appointment, or employee-count certification, means the Bureau can't confirm your employer relationship as described.
How to avoid it: Confirm with your employer that these certificates are notarized and match the details on your CGAF and contract before submitting.
