I got a response just now. Unfortunately I wasnt giving a Visa. I wish you all the best and I pray your story is favorable. Thanks Fam

samlaura16:
Kindly read the conversations and understand first.

I clearly said I haven’t heard of it, and will contact my agent to see if it’s necessary I submit. before Pappi Bear gave information on what it is for.

samlaura16:
Thanks for the information. I’ll wait for feedback from home affairs first.

Firebox:
i have already registered for courses and picked timetable, now school is saying if we dont resume on or before 3pm on friday 21st of july, i cant differ, i can only file for Intermission ,which is more like leave of absence.for that intake. thou i wont need to pay any fees,but i will have to reach out to BUPA to change my insurance date.
..sincerely,i do not pray for it to get to that stage.

No added document was requested and my status is on FURTHER ASSESSMENT since like june 9

libertyboss:


I swear to God, the Matter don tire me. 🤣🤣🤣 Are you sure these people don forget us , dey process people wey come Ausssie for female world Cup?

samlaura16:
You can defer but you will need a new COE and you will have to lodge another visa application


-The student visa processing time is now longer so choose a semester that gives you enough time to get another visa grant
- Your bank statement will be updated to fit the new floating exchange rate
- The Australia home affairs has changed some policies that affects student visa. You have to read up on that on their website

libertyboss:


Is your course offered online ? What happens may be ( GOD FORBID ) your visa is denied and you have started online? will they refund back the tuition that I already paid.

tochi0155:


Meaning is allowed to start online while waiting for visa ?

tochi0155:
When is your school resumption date ?

iamelvisjohn:



Let's connect, i'm equally going to Deakin Geelong, they've advised deferral if no visa grant before Monday 10th.

samlaura16:
Not yet, still expecting. A friend that got his alerted me.

samlaura16:
The flight rates I am seeing is quite disturbing. It’s like the floating exchange rate has disrupted everything.
Did someone get a good airline fare of recent? What airline? and How much ?

samlaura16:


Omo, don’t worry, they will soon, let’s just hold in the anxiety. Visa was lodged on May 19th . I’m being hopeful that by the end of this week they will start looking at May Applications.

Getting accomodation and settling in is something that bothers me. But getting the visa is important first.

samlaura16:
lNot yet, you are not alone. Classes resume by July 17th. It seems they are still on April applications

Jomazy:


No it doesn't.

But you will notice that the "Last Update Date" on you application page has changed to the day you did your biometrics.
