Narendra Singh: registration cancelled by OMARA on 12 Aug 2021
Registration removed. The agent may not give immigration assistance, usually with a period before they may re-apply.
It was made about 5 years ago and did not state a fixed period in its published summary. It does not tell you this person's current registration status — check the Register of Migration Agents for that.

What the Authority decided
On 12 August 2021 the Authority decided to cancel the registration of Registered Migration Agent Narendra Singh (MARN: 1172616) following an investigation into four complaints in relation to the Agent’s conduct.
The Authority was satisfied that the Agent breached clauses 2.1(a), 2.1(b), 2.1A, 2.1B, 2.3, 2.4, 2.8(b), 2.8(c), 2.9, 2.9A, 2.15, 2.19, 2.23, 6.1, 6.1A, 6.3, 9.1 and 9.3 of the Code of Conduct for Registered Migration Agents.
The Authority was satisfied that the Agent:
- Acted in contravention of the law, including in contravention of sections 245AR and 245AS of the Migration Act 1958
- Provided misleading information to the Department, thereby undermining the migration program;
- Lodged applications without sufficient supporting evidence, leading to a negative outcome for the clients involved;
- Failed to maintain proper client records and to keep his clients informed about key developments in their respective applications;
- Placed his financial interests above that of his clients’ interests, and failed to act in accordance with client instructions;
- Showed disregard of the Code by agreeing to and continuing to represent clients in instances where he had a business interest that may have affected the legitimate interests of the clients; and
- Behaved in an intimidating and threatening manner towards a client.
The Authority was satisfied that the Agent was not a person of integrity and not a fit and proper person to give immigration assistance.

What a cancellation means if this was your agent
The registration is removed. The agent's name comes off the Register of Migration Agents and they may not give immigration assistance. A cancellation is usually accompanied by a period during which the person may not be registered again.
Nobody is acting on your matter right now. Treat this as urgent, and start with who the Department is writing to.
If this was your agent: the first week
- Find out where your application actually is. If you have an ImmiAccount, log in. The clock does not stop because your representation did.
- 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.
- Get your file. Your documents are yours and the Code requires them back — originals first. How to get your file back.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.

If you are named here and something does not match the published decision — including where a decision has since been set aside, varied, or has expired — tell us and we will correct or remove it. We report what the register says; when the register changes, this should change with it.
This page reports a regulator's decision and explains in general terms what that kind of decision means. It is not immigration assistance and not legal advice, and it cannot take your circumstances into account. Only a registered migration agent or an Australian legal practitioner may advise you on your own application.
Finding someone else
Post what you need and registered migration agents and Australian legal practitioners quote you for it in writing — a fixed fee, or an hourly rate with an hours estimate, GST included, with government charges itemised separately so a cheap-looking quote cannot quietly leave one out. Applicants pay nothing. Every quote carries the individual's MARN or practising certificate details, so you can run the same check that brought you here.
VisaBid does not give immigration assistance, is not a migration agent, and takes no percentage of anybody's fee.
