Amen!..thanks bro!..
The bank manager of the said branch was surprise when my dad called him to tell him. It sounds so funny but is not at all.
He will get the reference letter from the bank on Monday.
In my own case I doubt the embassy did contacted the bank because if they did, they won't be saying this thing at all. Any branch they felt like contacting or writing to would have replied them.
It will all end in praise.

Imagine. Endeavor to get it on Monday and upload so that you grant will be released b4 your start date. Click information provided after uploading and also email them with attention to your case officer.

Albion05:
The Embassy wrote to me today, saying that the statement of account which my sponsor presented is not genuine.

I was expecting my Grant today after I called them in the morning and I was assured that my application will be finalize today and I will get my Visa notification before end of today. Seeing this mail just tire me...ooooo.
Anyway, I have contacted my sponsor who is my Father to visit the bank on Monday to get reference letter from his bank ascertaining that the said statement of account printed and issued to their customer is a genuine one with the closing balance therein.

I was given 14days to reply to this mail.

Please house, put me in your prayers.
I shall testify in this house, come next week.

I am with you in prayers to sort this out ASAP with the bank. You shall testify here soon IJN

I was contacted some minutes ago to provide further information. On checking my mail, I saw Evidence of study undertaken in Australia. late commencement date letter from your university/institution of study. This made my eyes roll. I immediately became bad with English Language. Can someone translate this to me.

On a second thought, I remembered stating in my SOP that I am doing a research course and my resumption date is flexible.

Let me share my timeline to get insightful contribution as to what is happening here.

Medicals: 22nd November 2017
IElTS result: 8th December 2017
Visa submission: 15th December 2017
Biometrics: 18th December 2017
Resumption date:1st January 2018
Next available date:1st July 2018

My thoughts: I think my CO looked into my case and decided since I am going for a research course, if I can provide a late commencement date letter, they would grant me visa without the need for deferment.

The only wahala be say today na Friday and that's Saturday midnight in Aussie. If not I for give them the Kate commencement date letter immediately.

My Question: Has anyone been in this kind of situation before?
How feasible is it to get such letter from Macquarie University. If anyone has collected this kind of letter before. Me nor expect am oh, I don put mind for deferment. E be lyk say God dey use this guy.

I will appreciate any input, suggestions comments and way to go on thus matter. Anticipating your response e-fam

1)Evidence of study undertaken in Australia-----It seems you ticked the option on language proficiency that you have undertaken English language study in Australia in the last 24months. Check you application summary to confirm this.
2) I doubt if your school will allow you late commencement period of over a month. Contact your sch/supervisor to confirm if they run quarterly research program and defer to April/July. If possible a new offer letters and COE or extension letter will be issued to you which you will now upload on your immi account. NB: Ensure you click INFORMATION PROVIDED after uploading the requested docs. Best of luck

Teegal42:
I don't think they have a specific time period for grant cos dis one that someone got one like the last day of the month and it has been on since they resumed dis month. Those still expecting grant and it's been over 3 months I'd suggest you call to know what exactly is the problem so u know where to direct your prayers towards. Goodluck guys and God bless us all.

Gbam. My thought

olamitunposi:



Don’t wait till you are contacted if you can’t make the normal resumption. Just defer and get your New COE uploaded to your immi account and notify them by email as well.

Thanks

kofson:


You will be contacted to provide a new COE or to provide an extension letter by DIBP.If you can't meet up with the February start date, pls contact your school for a new COE.

Thanks

nurseafrica:

Ok. You may have to click information provided after biometrics and wait for them to refer the applicant for medicals when needed. The link to organize it will be available then

nurseafrica:

1) Organize the medicals by answering questions as regards the applicant's health history. Then save and submit. 2)Send the print out to the applicant which contains HAP ID to proceed for the medicals. 3) Finally click information provided after biometrics and when you confirm that hospital has submitted the medical results to DIBP(You can confirm this by checking the status on immi account)

Good Morning All,

I applied for student visa, subsequent entrance (spouse) over 70 days ago and the subsequent health assessment notification has not changed since i applied, (see below)
I did my medicals before applying and added my HAP ID while filling the application form.

Am concerned this has not changed, is this normal? What else was I to do?

Required examinations not yet determined
The health examinations required for this person have not yet been determined. If health examinations are required, a link containing the details will be displayed when the person returns to this page.

It seems you included H to the HAP ID while filling the form. It is supposed to be about 8 digits without H eg 150*****. Confirm that you used the correct HAP ID with the link below

Otherwise
Re: General Australian Student Visa Enquiries Part 3 by fobak203(m): 10:39am
Have you called the Panel Physician used I.e. Fatayi Williams Clinic and/or IOM. Be sure you filled the health assessment form and clicked Information provided. Based on experience, the doctor logs in to your page and update your health examination result directly. Pls verify by calling the Australian recognised panel physician you used. You should have cried out long ago oh.

Noted bro!..
what the Moniker asked was for post graduate Course work and not Research work.
So I only commented on the Course work the moniker asked and the processing time actually reduced from 57-77 days to 21- 45 days which was updated on 18/01/2018.
You are absolutely right for the Post graduate research work processing time.
Gracias!.....
Let Visa Grant fall on us.

Amen bro. It will fall on us soon.
Thanks for clarification. I am aware of her/his question, just trying to lend voice to you and other people's contribution on reduction in global processing time on 500 visas

Albion05:
Reduced!..
Is under Higher Education Sector.

Number of days to process 90% of applications under Postgraduate Research Sector increased from 86days to 88days while time to process 75% of applications decreased from 63days to 51 days

Processing times updated

Hi Blazegab,
Please, did you attach your current employment letter when you were submitting your application?? Best of luck

I believe he's talking about student visa. For PR, since you have lodged your application, you have to wait for CO.

Zany.

yea, it is on student visa that you can arrange for Medicals and biometrics after submission
