AKASBABA1:


We initially thought it was a mistake or automated, so we called, and they said they would send a decision record. It has been one week now, and the applicant was supposed to do biometrics today. The flight, hotel, and everything were planned and paid for, but she has returned to school (university) today.

This is the first time we have had such an experience with Australian immigration. It highlights one of the negative aspects of applying for a visa from offshore. If it were here, we could have applied for a tribunal.

AKASBABA1:



The most recent student application we submitted received a final decision before the medical and biometric processes, yet we haven't received a decision record to date.

Can someone pls help answer this ?

Whichever bank you decide to use does not matter. What matters is showing minimum 3 months bank statement and source of income.

Alexyswiss:


Is it possible for me to check the status of my application? My agent is in control of the immi account and their policy would not allow me access to the account.

AussieJoan:



Most applications can take upwards of 2 months to be processed.

UPDATE ! ! !

i went to Nigerian Police Headquarters, Louis Edet House, Asokoro Abuja to inquire about the Police Character certificate, and i was told it cost 45k for the online own. I paid and did my biometrics. Everything took about 3 hours. And i was told my clearance certificate will be will be available to download within 24hrs from my online dashboard. i have attached a screenshot of my dashboard.


NOTE: CAN NOT BE DONE THROUGH PROXY

karferguso:
Was in police HQ for like 3 hours today, but I couldn’t even do the biometric capture as they said I needed to receive a text message to come for biometrics.

Despite all the push, I didn’t get a text message till I left there.
Surprisingly, I got an Approval message and I found out now that I was able to download the certificate online.

Without capturing….

Please I need advice..
I applied for a refund of tuition and gave them an Australian bank account to send the tuition so I can reapply for another school with it.

The school is telling me now that they can't payback the tuition to any Australian acc, that I will have to provide an account that is in the country I'm applying from, which is Nigeria.

I don't want the tuition to be sent back because the will use CBN rates to send it which will obviously affect the value.

Has anyone been in this situation? Please experienced folks should help me out here..

My GTE is good. They applied last week of October.

Jemiimaa99:


Right now, I’m really confused on whether I should go ahead and lodge or I should wait because the ones that were denied, there was no reason given to them. It’s really confusing.

Jemiimaa99:
Hello,

I have a question please.

There’s this new rule on home affairs website concerning having SOP with just 300 words. I don’t know if anyone else has seen that. It’s been on the site for 2 weeks now.
My agents got 2 students visa denied and no reason was given so they don’t know if it’s because of the sop issue.

Is there anyone that is yet to lodge his/her visa because of the 300 word SOP policy?

Is there anyone that has heard of that issue please?
I attached the link here.

Zykore:



Yes @Alexyswiss
It is an NPC certificate issued since 2003.

Zykore:
Una well done oo...

Can someone suggest what to do pls.

My middle name on my birth certificate was abbreviated. Just the letter. However all my other official documents show my full name. No abbreviation.

Can I use this birth certificate for Australian student visa applicantion?

Zykore:
How early can you lodge an Australian student visa application ?

Is 4 months to commencement date too early?

My agent says I must apply 3 months to commencement date.

Is this true?

franciscochime:
I received my grant today.

Application date: 5th November

Biometrics : 9th November

Medicals: 14th November

S56: 25th November (Clear copy of my passport was requested)

Grant date; 29th November (Today)

My employers, sponsor etc were not contacted. But I submitted genuine documents and God did it. Thank you Jesus!!!...........God that did it for me will also do it for all those expecting. My advice to you is; pray more when you lodge in your application.

afam4life:


You not right. Minimum of 90days (3months).

Those you saw that their visa application was attended to within 3weeks to 8weeks are once in a while, not frequently.

The best advice, is to submit your application on time, pray to God and be watchful.

Homobolanle22:

I will answer you with this story.

You see being an introvert in a country such as Nigeria is truly as inconvenience as trying to move forward your underwears that finds its way in between your butt cheeks especially when you are in public.
Nigeria is a country whose slogan is "shine your eye" there is no room for luke warm state of Character or melancholic display. Everyone is as active as the houseflies in ikorodu, riding the current of the wind hapzardly rather than just moving in a straight line to get your destination.
In layman's term singing market women trying to market their merchandize, noisy bus attendant trying to call in more commuters, blaring horns heard from all four cardinals, strange voices emanating from loud speaker selling their herbals, shop owners trying to kidnap you by forcefully dragging you to their shops even though you are resisting softly, loud talkers in the restaurants, tale bearers in the office, and gossip flying of like Christmas jingles in an organization.
This is obviously the hyper active behavior shown by most Nigerians, and the introverted ones just have to forcefully blend into this madness, if not you will be consider as weak, inadequate.
As an introvert, I have partaking in conversation I have no interest in for the sake of moving along, I have acted and feign facial concern for matters that shouldn't my concerns. I have found myself in friendship that I just don't know how or when we became friends.
This is Nigeria, with a very noisy people, clingy people, people who don't just like minding their business, people who just want to feel along by all means. Fvck Nigeria
