lakola:
@obalumhenry and @Jegz1 I know you both are April applicants, have you guys gotten an answer from DIBP?

lakola:

They didn't call my sponsor at all. I think I would have to call them. @Santity100 what do you think about calling them. Cos it's been long and they are at least working on May applicants app.
CSU is the school

No response from DIBP up till now. I applied since May8th, 2017. The wait is giving me sleepless night ooo. Orientation begins July 24th, 2017.

@JewelStone, Sanity100, lusen. Is this nornal? Any word from Aussie regarding this delay? Pls enlighten the house. Thanks

santity100:


I don't see reason to call if your resumption is still July ending. They will get to you that's for sure.. Dem no forget una ... Lol

If your orientation is July 3rd, next week you can call them if nothing yet.

They take time and they verify documents a lot.

I will advice keep calm and wait, you don't want force them to just give you one GTE reason a d refuse your application ooo

JewelStone:

I haven't been following the visa application timeline but things have definitely changed from the time I applied. DIBP is taking a lot longer now to process visas due to the increase in the number of applications from Nigeria, and they're also running more checks to ascertain genuine students.

I know the wait is hard on the applicants, I understand. But if you put in a decent application and your docs are real, hang in there, your visa will come through. If your application is more than 4 weeks, I would recommend sending them a polite email asking for an update on your application, quoting your full name, DOB, passport number, application number and your orientation date. I did this when my application was 2 weeks old and they responded the next day.

Goodluck to all the visa applicants, this country is worth the wait!

I got the same email from him, even asked him if there is anything the university can do about the delayed visa issuance problem we all are having. He informed me that the Australian High commission in Pretoria do not allow Universities to interfere in anyway.

jessicaeku:

I called my agent (PFL) today since my application is 7 week already. She responded by saying they've observed the delay too, and that their GM has sent a mail to the Australia High commission in Abuja to ascertain the delay in visa Grant.

Has anyone been contacted lately by DIBP to provide additional documents?

bestdiddy:
Australia really needs to consider having Embassies in countries where they are receiving high numbers of applications from. What I dont get is that theres an Australian High Commission at Abuja . . . Can't the High Commission issue visas? we won't have to face these delays if that was the case.
