Hello Everyone.

Please for a recent graduate (May 2022), is it necessary to show proof of work experience and salary payslips for visa application?

Recent graduate with payslip without a sponsor does't make much sense

Good afternoon!!!
Please is it possible to get a closer date for medicals
The next date is in 3 weeks time.. I am devastated!

Best to go to the centre in person, the online is strictly on appointments.

Most of my students have got same day medical without appointment, ensure you have your yellow-card to save time.
NB: this is only applicable to Abuja, might be different for other centres , also note, Australia has specific days in the week, hence you might not get same day if it's not specific to Australia medicals.

Good day house. Please I want to ask because am about booking my flight from Lagos to Melbourne through Qatar Airways my question is are they good especially those that have experienced their services or is there another Airways better than them?

Emirates and Qatar airways are the best route flying from Nigeria to Australia, I used them for my students and I recommend their services.

Your agent is right, you might be asked to print a fresh statement of account.

I don't recommend , you might be asked to provide updated bank statement

[quote author=NICOSIA post=116873290][/quote]Both travelled in August , they're initial admission was July but due to delay in visa issuance, they had to differ their admission.

Both then their OSHC as updated to cover their date of arrival and their duration of study .

NB: Students, if you're making changes to your admission start date, i.e differ admissions etc , ensure all your data matches . Insurance should match arrival date to your school duration + 1 or 2 months just to be a safe side.

OSHC is a requirement to enter Australia

Good evening guys!
My name is Tomiwa and I've been given admission to study Master in public health at Curtin University, Torrens University and La Trobe University.
I think I've crossed the first huddle of deciding which one to go for, as I have concluded consider Torrens (basically because it's the cheapest).
Any advice on my decision is most welcome.

School resumes by February 20 and I plan to travel in January but the challenge is I feel like these 3 months that I have won't be enough to process Form A and Visa.
I will be sending in the documents for GTE assessment by ending of next week. (Bank statement is the reason for the delay).

Now to my questions...
1. How long does it take for assessment result to come out?
2. How long does form A take to be processed typically? (The other options are at least 2M more expensive)
3. Basically will the next 3 months be enough?
I will need the most practical ways to go about this and also best practices to engage.

GTE could take more time depends on the University,
3-4 Months is enough but then, with Australia �� you can't predict time, just do your best and try not rush them
The Processing time for Form A is not known, depends mainly from the bank if you care so much about time, use the alternatives
There is no template on how follow as Australia follows due process.

I'll recommend deciding on the school you want quickly, Curtin University response time is awesome
Pay the tuition if accepted
follow all processes .
I would recommend you don't care so much about time else you make a blunders , worst case differ admission.

With Australia , getting it right is more important than time

Eaglesfashion:
Greetings house.
Please I need urgent information on this .

Should we choose Australia or South Africa as close immigration Office as my wife who is applying for her dependant subsequent entry Visa (husband and daughter ) is currently in Australia ....

South African is the office for Nigeria

Rasana:
Information is going around that 2 Nigerians travelling to Australia last were sent back. Their admission is for February intake, can anyone verify the information?

I am not sure what transpired,I have 2 students here in Australia now and their study begins February and March next year.

engrlarex:
Good Day Brethren,

I have been given provisional admission at The University of Newcastle. I want to pay the initial deposit. I have the value in my USD account here in Nigeria. How will I go about making the payment online without going through form A wahala. This school is not ready to provide account number for form A processing, they said it takes time. I have been to all my banks, I was directed to Form A.

Any plug to help out in this regard will be highly appreciated at a friendly rate.

If you have USD it should be very easy to make the payment, all the details should be linked to your admission

Ansariedo:
Bro can we talk privately?

Sure, try and connect with me.

Light21:
And God did it at his own appointed time. It's me the lady that always come here to cry and ask plenty questions. So today I have come to return all glory to God almighty for granting my husband onshore, myself and our son offshore Visas today.

I pray for those waiting that you will receive your goodnews soon. Visa took exactly 6 months

Congratulations

Zobbam:
Please how long did torrens take in passing your GTE assessment
I also applied to torrens

With Torrens, you can start studying online while waiting for your visa. I would recommend you pay the tuition and continue the process

afam4life:
Your words are not clear.

Do you mean if I know anyone that deferred admission to February 2023 and will travel this coming December? NO

One of my student did and she's currently in Australia. She had delays in visa processing at the date of visa grant the school already differed her admission .

She's here flexing and waiting till for March next year 2023

NICOSIA:
Does Australia allow palm oil ? Garri? Thanks

Garri yes, palm oil no.

henrychubayo:
Good morning all. Please kindly let me know what type of birth certificate you used to apply for Visa? As you know, Nigeria doesn't have a central birth certificate until recently from year 2000. I was born before then

Those who got their visas and anyone can suggest the birth certificate used.

Your answer will help a brother and enable me start making plans to get it. Thanks all

Nigerian birth certificate is accepted

NICOSIA:
Do Nigerians need a transit visa if traveling through Singapore to Australia? Can I apply online? Which routes are the best to Australia for Nigerians? I’m not based in Nigeria.

Officially you don't need a visa but I wont recommend transiting via Singapore, Thailand and others are better

NICOSIA:
Visa finally granted.
Application 24 June
Medicals and biometrics 7th, 8th July
S56 request-Letter from employer 11th August
S56 Renew COE 24th August Visa granted 24th August

Oviebright:
Please an Australian university offered me admission on 11/08/2022 august wen resumption date is 12/09/2022 next month. How possible is it for me to get visa and travel there on time considering the process?

Just pay quickly and apply, seems to be the issue this period. If you're not issued a visa, you can differ

OJ18:
Good afternoon everyone!
Please I need info from students who are already in Australia without going with their family.

-How do you get OSHC for the family when they want to apply as subsequent entrant?

- Does it have to be an inclusion or upgrade on the primary applicant OSHC or they can buy a separate one?

If they can buy theirs seperately, how do we go about it please?

Every OSHC I see has been asking for details of primary applicant like it's being purchase by primary applicant. (Cheapest is Medibank and Allianz care)

In our case, the primary applicant OSHC (ahm) is too expensive to include a wife and a child (over 10k AUD☹️).

I need response please �

Usually, the OSHC is tied to the student as the rest are dependent of the student. Family OSHC is usually more expensive. Try contacting https://www.cbhsinternationalhealth.com.au/ via email and give them details of the current provider.

I've used them many times and they're less expensive.

Another approach is to contact the individual providers directly via phone or email and provide the details, they'll give a more accurate quote that meets your requirements .

Hope that helps ?

victorbyke:
I submitted a statement of Account of 20m and currently the money is 15m, I want to know if the statement of account is verified, what the outcome will be.

Will they ask if the 20m submitted is still there or just to confirm if it was the bank that issues the statement.

The statement of account you submit is the only thing they verify, they can't verify the balance on the account .

Aadetutu:
Hello everyone
Please i need assistance with information
So i lodged my student visa on the 6th July
Biometric 9th July
Medical 9 Aug

School resumes 22nd Aug
Is it possible I get my visa grant before resumption. Someone told me it's possible since my oshc starts on the 17th Aug.

Is it realistic?

No one can predict the outcome, just be positive and stay focused have patience.
If no decision is made days after the resumption date, you can differ the admission

platypelloid:
Please house what is the best masters for a medical doctor to apply for in Australia which will lead to PR?

Is it advisable to apply through an agent??
Thanks.

The Australian student visa system encourages the use of an Agent for processing,. that's simply because they dont do the verification of the documents you submit themselves and communicating directing with the University is slow, aside that , they don't advise or recommend anything. They expect you to get everything right and their feedback is outright decision irrespective of the documents you submit(They request for more details)

jiedeki:
IMO, do not try this option because when the bank is written to confirm, it will most likely not get to the banker's desk. Please, do not try this. I do not need to tell you the consequences.

No be everything una go post online, any runs things no share ham online abeg or decode ham.

Everything we post here immi and their gov dey read ham abeg

NICOSIA:
Hello guys I just received update from CO to upload letter from employer. I have already requested for the letter from my employer but they are very slow at doing things. I’m thinking of using their letter to write myself. Do you please know if the embassy calls employers?

Do what's right in the event of a call to your employer

Chizzyvivian:
Please can I call them? Will they share any update with me since I am using an agent.
My agent has refused to share the login with me I re
quested to view my Portal at least to see for myself.

Following the processing time for student visa processing, it's still too early to call them at this time, just be patient till about next month.
