Full transcript
Your visa application was refused, and you're now on a Bridging Visa A. We can lodge an appeal with the Administrative Review Tribunal within 21 days.
好的，谢谢您。那我想问一下，如果我现在拿的是过桥签证A，我可以出国旅行吗？
Unfortunately, a Bridging Visa A doesn't let you re-enter Australia once you leave. You'd need a Bridging Visa B granted before departure to return.
明白了。那申请过桥签证B大概需要多长时间才能批下来？
Applying for a Bridging Visa B usually takes about 10 business days for approval, though processing times can vary depending on your case.
我了解了。那我是不是一定要请律师才能提交上诉呢？
You don't have to hire a lawyer — you can lodge the appeal yourself. However, the tribunal process involves detailed legal argument and strict deadlines.
这样啊，那我还是想请您帮忙比较放心。那你们的收费大概是怎么算的呢？
Since you've decided to engage us, the tribunal fee is about three and a half thousand dollars, plus our fee of four to six thousand dollars total.
好的，我明白这些费用了，谢谢您解释清楚。那审裁庭一般需要多久才能做出裁决呢？
The Administrative Review Tribunal can take several months, sometimes up to 12 months, to decide. There's no guarantee the outcome will be favourable.
好的，我明白了。那我这周就把材料整理好交给您，接下来就耐心等结果了。
Terms in this dialogue that cost marks
CCL is marked on information transferred. These Australian terms have no direct word in most test languages — get one wrong and the segment's information is gone.
- bridging visa译为“过渡签证”或“桥梁签证”，可视情况解释为“等待其他签证结果期间的临时签证”。
Practise it
Reading a transcript is not interpreting. The free daily dialogue on this site plays each segment at native speed, records you, and marks the information you transferred against the same categories examiners use — omissions, distortions, insertions — so you know where the marks went.
