It’s good to see that the trend is still on, I have heaps to write and address and pls bear with us all cos this Aussie life ain’t easy, busy schedule here and there.... quick one, for all the visa grants congrats and to the hopefuls keep your phone close and pray like never before.

Currently the standard for visa grant is high as Australia made changes to immigration rules, that doesn’t stop the grants coming in, my advice make use of all the information in this trend and don’t get tired of asking questions from ones with experience
If your application has passed the stated processing time and your start date is close, you have every right to mail or call and ask for the status of your application and reminding them that your start date is close, it doesn’t show any desperation on your part Buh if it’s not beyond the processing time just leave em, bear in mind they know about your start dates and would always process the pile of applications based on start dates, Read someone saying Adelaide is a forest or sumfin, pls for goodness sake we are in the age of google, why not get busy and read about the city, I’m in Adelaide and it’s a beautiful city, people get jobs and heaps of students are here surviving, if it’s not then how are we making it?! For those coming, pls be advised that your cannot start work in Australia until you have started your program, even if you arrive 3months before, doing so is a bridge on your visa and to avoid stories that touch, buh it’s good to arrive few weeks to your start date so you can settle your accomodation, learn the routes, know how to catch the buses, train or trams etc and prepare your mind to attend heaps of job interviews and Finally hold enough cash to last you like 3months before you start working to enable you pay rent and transport, also carry enough local food stuffs ooo!.
One more thing watch Border Security Australia on YouTube to familiarise with how to package food stuffs your bringing into Australia cos those customs are strict and if you don’t declare the stuffs you can get a serious fine!.

Pls I will like to know what kind of local food stuffs i can come with. Thanks

Pls anyone in sydney, we need to know more about accomodation. Thanks.

Pls I will like to know how early can one enter Australia after obtaining the student visa n can one find something doing before resumption.
Info needed urgently. Thanks

My application was finalise since 3 days ago. After waiting for the email notification and after waiting for 7 months for Australia visa. Today I finally got a Rejection letter. The reason because of Nigeria unstable economic and political unrest . Which is not my personal fault.
My school was RMIT.
I just have to take it by faith and move on with my life. As I have waited for the decision weather good or bad to enable me prepare for the new year . I pray those awaiting theirs should get their grant IJN AMEN.

so sorry for the rejection and all the stress you have been through . Better days ahead. Don't give up on your dream.

fobak203:
@Joyfree, Please can you furnish me with information on how you attached this documents?

Were they attached before or after submission?
Did you submit them separately to the south african mail? or there is a hidden tab for submission of other supporting documents?

Pls reply.

I actually used a agent but I was with him when he attached all the documents one after the other before submitting the application.

Grant ; 11 Dec , 2017 ( For both my hubby and I)

I wish everyone still waiting, positive grant in Jesus name. Amen

I thank God immensely for making me one of the persons to testify on this group. Nairaland became my family to which I run to when am down because of the waiting. I really appreciate everyone here.
Finally my brothers n sisters

My grant came in yesterday 11th December 2017.

Congrats to Churkie and Asoasoaso.
Thank God nairaland is finally experiencing a new dawn of goodnews.
We that r still waiting tap into this realm of news.

We will soon share our own testimonies too. Dats wat I believe......

@churkie. Am telling u
I applied since may 19th

@Aniangi. When did you apply ?

@Aniagi .I av not heard anything from them . I intend sending dem a mail by monday. Enough is enough.

@skydon. They contacted me to update the new COE since I deferred to Feb

Probably it's just both of us

@churkie. I applied since May 19th

Am telling u , who know Australia n new zealand before, it was more of canada n USA. @SOLA1010

It was during dis wait i researched other countries n I found out dat ireland is cheaper than australia in terms of fees n dey just introduced 2yr post study visa. N their visa grant is not as stressful as australia. U get admission letter within a week . Visa procedure is very easy. The problem of that country is dat they av selected courses that do well there. I feel u should just research more abt d country as against ur course cos the country has prospects just like Australia @ Abbey 1987

@tope4real. As at this morning the conversion of 1aud to usd is 0.75700. So if u r to pay 15955aud , it will be
15955×0.75700×360 = 4,348,057.
I don't know abt their administrative charges though.
But from d calculation above , you can see that wat dey deducted 4,500,266.40 is more dan wat u should av paid . I will advise you go back to d bank for dem to pay ur school cos they av deducted more than the required amt. So dat dey can ammed the COE. My touts.

@SOLA1010 if they r trying to curb their population den dey should stop coming to Nigeria to look for students n using our money for investments .
