Does one need a transit visa to deplane in South African airport, because there is a long stop over?

no

Vicrown:
Thanks house for your pieces of advice. The issue with my CAS has been resolved. The error on my name in my tuberculosis test report has also been corrected. My university (LSE) has equally sent me the letter confirming my full scholarship. I successfully applied for a one year student's visa today and paid $775 for both IHS and visa fee (approximately 283,000). I also booked a Friday appointment for the interview. Please what kind of questions should I expect?

plz bro how did u get the scholarship

LaaJiblik:
In your opinion, what do you now think is the way out?

There is no fix here. Rules are rules. You either abide by them, or you fail to get what you want.

i suggest you pay the remaining tuition fees to the school

Case office call to confirm the additional document I submitted on Monday.

queenbet:
Yes, got admitted in Victoria University, Melbourne to do Master of Engineering (Telecommunications)

when did u apply For the visa

queenbet:
I am the primary applicant for the visa while I applied with my husband as the dependant. My husband's brother and the wife are sponsoring us but the letter that came this morning was that I was rejected on the ground that my brother in law's wife is my husband's sister and her funds are not sufficient to sponsor us

dont give up dear, your husband would have applied as the primary applicant and you guys would have achieved the same purpose.

Any Grant this week? Try and testify if u receive your Grant to encourage others. We'll all achieve our purposes in life.

pls house, i got my grant last week and school resumes 17th of july which is pretty close for me . i opted for deferment for next semester from the school but i was told that they will cancel my VISA for bridge of visa cos my COE is tied to the visa. If i insist to defer , they will offer me another COE while i applied for another visa.

Hello everyone, I joined This thread three days ago cos I wanted a place I could relate with everyone going through the discomfort of waiting for the Australian Student Visa to be approved.

Application date: April 27th
CO first contact: May 16th (reason for visa refusal)
CO Second contact: May 18th (proof of funds)
Grant approval date: July 7th.

Let's not forget to go after our bankers cos mine accounted for over 30days of delay alone by not confirming my fixed deposit letter in time.

I wish everyone success and approval of grants in Jesus name.

congrats,this one na early morning Grant

JoeDuch:
No but there was a constant inflow of salary tho the 15m came from another account of the coy when there requested SOA of 15m

JoeDuch:

congrats bro. Plz is the balance of 15m on the account as at the day they requested for it?

@jackson go to any health center or port health center before airport ikeja and get it, there's no big deal

[quote author=lakola post=58154653][/quote]exactly my thoughts. I wonder how long it will take some universities to respond to mail should in case EMBASSY sends one to verify certificates. Seriously some of these delays are caused by our own people.

lakola:
Lol you all will get yours soonest. Airport was fine, no issues in Lagos airport. Went on a 7 hour flight to Dubai, had a four hour stop over. Left Dubai for Sydney(13hour flight), DIBP at Sydney asked for my yellow card and they asked if I carried anything prohibited and I said no and that was it. Waited for a five hour stop over and left sydney for Wagga Wagga.
Visa grants will roll in this week by his grace. Amen, remember stay hopeful

boboyi247:

Loverquin:
Ogaaa, relax, they will ask for it if they need it, did u use an agent?

yes

boboyi247:
yap, it was my agent. how much is the minimum they need ooo

did u include your warm results when u were lodging your application?

Loverquin:
Pls would like to know if it was Ur agent that told u not to add statement of account till they ask for it or u jst decided not to add it in the first place? Because frm other peoples experience, wether AL 1 or not, they will ask for statement.

As for the WAEC, I heard they are verifying almost everything and anything.

another confusion cos I didn't submit my waec

JewelStone:
I know you feel terrible about the visa rejection but you should've seen this coming. After a certain age, going to TAFE is suspicious especially if you already have a bachelors plus years of work experience. The education industry is a major source of revenue for the Australian Govt, they are more interested in Intl students going to Universities to pay exorbitant tuition fees than people using TAFE as a decoy to enter their country. This is why TAFE has a low approval rate, their tuition fees are low and most of the students don't have genuine intentions.

People here have asked you about the true state of your employment letter but you've ignored the questions. If you applied with fake documents, don't waste your time and money to get an immigration lawyer, the 3 years ban won't be waived. You have to wait for 3 years before applying for any visa, including spousal visa. The ban is only waived for people who overstayed their visas (even this is very difficult to get), not people who used fake docs. Plus getting married soon after the student visa rejection reeks of desperation, and won't help your application at all. So you have to plan carefully to avoid further bans.

I usually don't bother about this sort of posts. But I'm trying to correct the impression that if an application is denied and the applicant banned, getting an immigration lawyer will solve the problem. No it won't. I'm also concerned about the way you simplified the ban, as if you're encouraging other applicants to use fake docs.

Visa applicants should use genuine docs and avoid using TAFE COE at all cost.

jewel plz can you clarify me an the issue of sponsors, can someone who doesn't bear the same surname with an applicant, sponsor? Will his soa scale thru?

Fishlink:
Hmmmm! Have to take heart anyway! Got my visa rejected with decision from DIBP yesterday. The worst part is I got 3 years ban from applying any visa to Australia. This happens as a result of employment letter which could not be verified. God will grant everyone expecting his/her visa on this platform. I would get immigration lawyer in Aussie so the ban could be waived cos my Aussie partner will be in Naija for marriage so I'll file for spouse visa

dont be discouraged. Did they contact your place of work before making decision about your employment letter because this look unfair to me

Fishlink:
He is my relative.. maternal uncle so have to swear an affidavit at the court to clarify my relationship with him as my sponsor

can u enlighten me on the process of this affidavit

chinjo:
The bible say wisdom is profitable to direct. It also went further to say that obedience is better than sacrifice. In all of Sabo the boy chose the gutter by command fence to go and excavate sand as if that was not enough, he was asked to stop, instead of him to quietly leave there to another place, he started advancing towards the soldier. That not reasonable at all. The soldier does not have to wait for the unimaginable before opening fire considering the fact that thousands of children were in the school. He had to make a choice and a fast one for that matter.

do unto others what you would like them to do unto you.
