Hey Guys,

I applied for my visa on the 17th of may. i have done my biometrics and medicals.
the status changed from initial assessment to "Further Assessment" on the 6th of June and it hasnt changed since.

I already missed my orientation but I mailed them and they scheduled late orientation for the 4th of July 2018.

My course start date is on the 25th of June, i dont want to defer and I AM FREAKING OUT!!!!

HELP!!!!!

same here..applied on 31st may for a june 4 start date. of course I knew i had to defer but Good thing the uni operates on batches for international students so my agent defered me to 16th july. I have no access to my immi portal as its controlled by my agent and i would really like to know my application status. submitted all necessary docs. its all about prayer nd patience now while we hope for the best. ps does anyone know how i can import my profile on immi portal.

tobe4real:
relax Bro u will get ur visa

Amen..thanks bro.how has aussie been treating u?

Perfect1989:
how about a graduate certificate programme

since he has an Ond already he should go for a bsc. Age is a huge factor wic these embassies consider. he should also write a convincing sop to explain the gap 2013 to date nd what he has been doing since then..

Perfect1989:
sup guys i need your contribution on this please;i have a friend who has OND in Accounting (2013) and he want to apply for a student visa in Australia please what kind of Admission will be suitable for hiM, can he apply to TAFE his around 30 years of age or should he apply for bsc programme, can in apply for a graduate certificate in accounting?

TAFE at 30yrs? thats a red flag oo

so what is the assessment level for nigeria? is it closer or farther than that.

Solitin40:
The processing time frame you saw on their website is not for Assessment level 3 countries(Nigeria)

orientation date 16th july. applied 31st may. application processing time 40-50 days..visa never show yet..can i make my start date? Even if na 1 day left, the way e de do me,dont mind leaving with empty bag.

hey guys..does anyone have an idea of how immigration verifies place of employment?

Hello all ,
i recently received a mail from my case officer who demanded for my personal statement of account showing my salary deposit , i just concluded my NYSC and got a job in the construction sector but my employer pays on site(cash) because the take home isn't even that much , applied under AL1.. i asked my employer if i could get a letter from him to clear this , will this help out ??

did u submitt a statement of account with your application? I think you should get a written explanation from your employer confirming that u are paid cash. also upload an soa from your sponsor if u did not. The misconception is that AL1 unis dont require soa, altho thats written on dibp. The Co has the discretion to ask which he/she did. These COs are getting smarter by the day. All the best.

Please I would like to link up with anyone in Adelaide already or would be going to Adelaide this month.
Thank you.

i have an conditional offer from torrens univerity, i have since submitted my financial docs since 10th april but have not heard from them since.it usually does not take more than 2weeks to get a response from them. but this is getting to a month now. am all tensed and worried. my agent says to give them more time.anyone in my shoes advice pls

IamphilVitalis:
Thought you guys said letter of offer and coe comes in within a week or two, dunno how receiving letter of offer and coe is gonna take almost two months

which university did you apply to?

Hey guys, pls how do I send money to australia. I want to pay tuition through a friend there. Thanks

gunpoint:
You do not know the realities of living abroad yet
Someone like you won't want to do aged care so oh
Mate that course left SOL like 24months ago. To cut it short, its the sort of course you finish, do post study for two years and go back home. And believe me when i say they are not kidding in Australia about you going back home

what do you think about MPH for PR in aussie.

adeomoade:
Good day all, can anyone guide me on how to get my visa application fee refund?

I have filled form 1424 but I don't know the ideal email or postal address to send it to.

My CO advised me to withdraw my niece application which I did and was acknowledge. Hence, the need for the visa fee refund.

Guru's in the house kindly assist. Thank you

why do you want to withdraw the application?

peteredo:
I applied for master but in d letter the embassy are saying am applying for bsc

sorry about the rejection. sometimes i wonder if these COs really go through the submitted docs. I think your sop was not properly composed to address those issues. Did u still use your Brother in law as your sponsor?

drealdammy:
Please oo how long does it take for school to issue COE??

have u made payments? has your account been debited?

Chineylove:
I also applied dec 11 and updated dec 15. Still waiting, I wrote to them on Thursday before Easter and am still waiting for their reply

what did u update it immiaccount with?

fobak203:
Firstly, 70days from today is June 12th which is the average time you need to have lodged your visa application. Now my questions: Apart from wiping the lesser amount in he SoA, is there any other reason you were told to wait till April 19th. If your sponsor has a good cash in and outflow, No attentions would be paid to the fact that I bought a towel worth 2000naira using my ATM from the same account or someone paid me the 700naira he was owing me. Secondly, the school financial requirements is not as deep as DIBP requirement. Good cashflow and fat closing balance does the magic and would fly for university level. IMO, you should go ahead and submit that docs this minute and inform them of he need to expedite actions due to the recent delay in visa process. This agent sometimes set, na wa oh. I believe before or at the point of visa application, your sponsors account should be beefed up so that he can fly too. This is my personal opinion. I also know that some admission intake for some uni arr usually once a year. Finally when is your next resumption after June 4th. You might want to find out too, so as to see all possible scenarios. Cheers man

the next resumption is on Sept the 19th. Good cash flow in my sponsors account started from Jan 19th. Thats you my agent said I should Wait till it wipes out. If only I cud use it as it is for the uni enrollment.

hey guys, i need advice, i got a conditional offer from a uni in aussie bt i have to submit financial docs. i have the required funds but my agent advised i should let my sponsors account run till april 19th to make sure the lesser amounts in the account wipe out. school resumption is on june 4th if i submit the docs by april 19th, it will take at least 2-3 weeks to conduct interview and receive coe by the uni and the apply for visa. will it still be possible to meet up with my june 4th resumption?
