Naahh bro . . . I dont think that is the case.

while you have mentioned that you have strong reasons for choosing Australia over other countries, you are not restricted from making a choice with other countries. Infact, when you take the decision to seek a foreign degree to enhance your career, these officers actually expect that you must have researched an applied to a host of other countries that are of similar or better economic stance to Australia. It helps them understand that you're after academic excellence and interested in getting same at countries with top quality of education including Australia.

Also, remember that since I applied in June, they had not given me any feedback or requested for any documentation until i sent that email with my UK offer. At that point, they requested for my updated employment letter and pay slips. So if I had not sent that email, they wouldn't have taken me serious and started fast tracking my application.

I could go on and on, but really there are lots of field in high demand. What might be in high demand in a state might not be in another, so you might be making generalizations based on your locality. America is too big for you to just say 2 fields are in high demand with an MS degree. Statistics that attempt to show what is in high demand and what's not are mostly flawed; most of them just rely on the number of job openings. Most of them don't consider factors like not being a US Citizen or LPR, how many of those openings those companies intend to fill with external candidates or how soon they want them filled. The other aspect is, things change very fast-what you might think is in high demand now might not be when you graduate in 2 years.

What does this even mean? And high demand for an MS program?

To answer your question, I don't think its compulsory for applicants to defer their admission until the resumption date has passed. Just make sure you have submitted your application 45 days before your start date. I feel the reason July intake had this problem was because of the surge in the number of applicants and the fact that Nigeria has been moved to the high risk assessment level so it takes more time to deliver quick and efficient service to Nigerians because they need more documents which ultimately takes more time to verify. Before I applied, my agent told me it takes less than two weeks to get the visa but I've been waiting for 6 months now. Now I have really learned how to be patient in life. Patience is indeed a virtue... (these people don humble me)

Just pray things change over there and you are able to get your visa in 45 DAYS. Nothing is impossible if you believe

Lol, its not a small something oo. I hope to apply soon for feb semester. The thought of my cash holed up somewhere for that long is indeed terrifying. It will surely end in praise.

chimax1:
Congratulations to all grant recipients. Mine is just a question. Is it compulsory for applicants to defer to the next semester before a visa is granted? Every November recipient has deferred their admission from July. Does It mean that visas is not granted immediately irrespective of the assessment level? Is there a way to facilitate the process or a time when visas are granted more.

Kukaman:
Hello house, I had a degree(online) from the UK and want to do my MSc in the states. I want the house to assist with schools that offer GA and tuition free or reduced tuition fee to max of $15k. I actually got an admission to a school whose fees in totality is $34k but considering a cheaper one. Please assist.

They have an office in Abuja but not for visa purposes.

These guys at the Pretoria Embassy are really using our heads on this country. So after investing millions in their educational system and allowing the money linger there for months, they give refusals based on intuition. Like seriously? These schools send representatives over here and they hold workshops begging us to come and study there and after spending so much money and waiting for months, Someone at the embassy that doesn't like your face simply says he thinks you wouldn't be coming back after studying so he decides to give you a refusal and spoil your passport.

I feel there would have been a better way to handle this by the embassy. Maybe if they refuse you right from the school application, it will save you all the stress and money as regards writing IELTS, paying school fees and charges, paying for medicals and ultimately paying for visa application. There's no way you can recover this monies back but the most painful part is the time wasted. If they know they wouldn't accept Nigerians anymore, I think they should state it clearly from the get-go and not allowing us waste time and money..

There's no Australian consulate in this country to start with and those in government can't even compel them to come here and open one. We spend our hard earned money and still beg for visa. I can understand that some Nigerians go there and abandon the schooling but I'm quite sure we are not the only country doing that so we that are trying to get in shouldn't be suffering for the sins of a few. I just hope someone from the embassy can read this and I wouldn't be surprised if there's a Nigerian working with them over there undermining our efforts because we Nigerians don't like each other

seyo99:
Hello house, after the long awaited approval on my application. It finally got refused. The visa officer didn't believe I will return upon completion of my program. I'm thinking of trying again, this time I want to apply to a school with less tuition. Has anyone applied to UNE recently. Please How long does the application take? To all those waiting.... Keep believing it shall end in praise. No one should tell me take heart lol I'm not depressed. Just help me with the information please. And if anyone know about job prospect at New England too. Thanks

KVickky:
Confused much? Did you read what i wrote? “Hope for the best and be patient Australia is worth it ..if you are not lazy”.. meaning the stress of getting here is worth it. If you are not lazy you will be fine here! Take time to read next time sir

zeemo2007:
Kvickky meant australia is worth it if you are not lazy and ready to work when you arrive.

I don't even understand what you are talking about in this your statement.

Its a tough job for these guys treating 1000s of different different applications for visa and you expect everyone to be granted when most times 90% are based on lies, deceit and bogus documents.

The crazy delay is mostly for applicants from developing countries because most of us are not genuine and we just seeking greener pasture which contravenes the condition of most granting most visa classes and verifying the authenticity of our documents and evidences takes forever and most times impossible.

Their visa their business. Most students will just arrive and go claim asylum, marry oyinbo and some will just drop out and start hussling. These are applicants that claimed heaven and earth when submitting application for study visas.

adey2014:
there are many reasons why u are being asked to mention the school.
1.there cud be someone in the thread who has applied to the same school and in the same scenario as u.
2. the gurus cud actually have an idea about the school admissions process
3. there cud also be someone who currently studies in the school and cud give first hand info abt the process.
in all honesty. there are over three thousand schools in the states and keeping the name of the school makes it so difficult for anyone who is willing to help.

KVickky:
Hoping all thats expecting get good news soon.. always put it in prayer. Send reminder mails with courtesy and not to many. Hope for the best and be patient Australia is worth it! If you are not lazy.

umechukwu4:
Though I got my COE since june.but I had delay getting some documents.My program is AEP 6/11/2017 and on completion starts masters July 2018.If I demand for a new Coe dnt think there will be AEP program starting in February.dt means the masters might shift to September 2018 which I don't want.I don't know if I should quit after November and focus on my new offer in UK starting January 2018 so that I will not loose both.
Great people of the house please any suggestion.God will reward everybody here.
