Anna Morozov: registration suspended by OMARA on 3 Sep 2025

What the Authority decided

On 3 September 2025, the Office of the Migration Agents Registration Authority (the Authority) decided to suspend the registration of Registered Migration Agent (RMA), Anna Morozov

(MARN: 0852237) for a period of 2 years and until the Agent meets the specified conditions.

The Authority is satisfied that:

• The RMA breached obligations under clauses 2.1, 2.9 and 2.23 of the Former Code and sections 13(1), 13(2), 15, 20(1), 26(1)(a)(i) and 26(3)(a) of the Code; and
• The RMA is not a person of integrity, or is otherwise not a fit and proper person to give immigration assistance.

The Authority found that the RMA:

• Failed to act in accordance with the law and legitimate interests of her clients.
• Failed to act professionally, ethically, honestly and with integrity.
• Knowingly provided false and misleading statements and documentation to the Department of Home Affairs in support of visa applications.
• Engaged in conduct that is reasonably likely to damage the reputation of migration agents and the immigration advice industry.
• Made false and misleading statements about her qualifications.
• Failed to take all reasonable steps to ensure that her employer did not publish or broadcast an advertisement about her credentials that was false and misleading.

On 23 September 2025 the Agent lodged an application for review of the Authority's decision with the Administrative Review Tribunal.

On 31 August 2025 the Administrative Review Tribunal varied the period of suspension to end on 3 September 2026. The Agent can provide immigration assistance.

The decision summary above is reproduced from the Authority's published record of this decision, which also carries the decision document itself. Nothing has been added to it.

What a suspension means if this was your agent

The registration is suspended for a set period. During it the agent may not lawfully give immigration assistance — not to you, not to anyone. Section 280 of the Migration Act makes paid immigration assistance by an unregistered person a criminal offence, and a suspended agent is unregistered for the duration.

This is the outcome that most often catches people mid-matter, because the agent is still there and the suspension has an end date. If your matter can wait, it may be able to wait. If you have a response deadline from the Department inside the suspension period, it cannot.

If this was your agent: the first week

1. Find out where your application actually is. If you have an ImmiAccount, log in. The clock does not stop because your representation did.
2. Check who the Department is writing to. A Form 956 makes an agent the authorised recipient, and correspondence sent to them is taken to have been given to you. A deadline sent to an inbox nobody reads is still a deadline.
3. Get your file. Your documents are yours and the Code requires them back — originals first. How to get your file back.
4. Work out what was paid and what was done. Ask for the itemised invoices and receipts the Code requires. Routes to recover money work better started early.
5. Complain, if there is something to complain about. A published decision does not close your own file. Where to complain, and what OMARA can and cannot do.
6. Only then, find someone else. A new agent needs the file and the dates. The first five steps are what make that first conversation useful instead of exploratory.

What this decision does not mean

It is a decision about one individual on one date. Only a person can be a registered migration agent — a company cannot — so it says nothing about anyone else at the same practice. Decisions of this kind are reviewable, and bars and suspensions expire. The register is where the current position lives.
