Morning all,

God has won the battle for me! It's the Lords doing!
Grant landed this morning.

After a series of phone interview and email correspondence the CO finally gave way.

Lodged on 10th June
Got to pretoria 14th June
CO asked for medicals 24th June
Did phone interview 29th June
She asked for further documents from then till 8th of July. Anything she asked I gave her and she was surprised.

13th June she wrote she's ready to give visa but resumption has passed and that I should collect letter of approval from school for late resumption.

I got my CoE revised at 50 dollars. Sent it to CO yesterday

This morning grant came in!

I give a holla to the wonderful that's been supportive and encouraging here and privately: Cottyekundayo, Dontee5star, bellong, cool Mel, AlvinKem and all.

To other hopefuls, you shall not be disappointed and your wait will soon be over.

Nairaland is really helpful. Probably God lives here.

Good evening everyone.
I front loaded my medicals before visa lodging in at TLS Lagos. I ignorantly did not include my HAP ID(information medical sheet from the clinic) at the time of lodging in my application owing the the clinics misinformation as they just told me they will send my results. My friend just made me realize yesterday that I was supposed to include my hap Id on. Submission at TLS, Lagos.

Please does anyone know what I can do to get my hap id to Pretoria? It is really bothering me.....I applied on the 15th of june.

I'll greatly appreciatey our advise, God bless you all.

New Student Visa System in Australia for 2016

Australia has adopted a new student visa processing system that might make life a little easier for future students and higher education providers. The proposed new process, called, the simplified student visa framework (SSVF), will launch in July 2016 replacing the streamlined visa processing (SVP), which has been used since 2012.

The changes are great news for international students in that it will make the process of applying for a student visa simpler. In a nutshell, the changes will mean:

• A reduction in the number of student visa subclasses from eight to two; and
• the introduction of a simplified single immigration risk framework for all international students

The changes come as the international education sector recorded strong growth, providing an export boost to offset the slump in the resources industry. Figures provided by the Department for Immigration and Border Protection (DIBP) show that intake of new students is at its highest level ever in the March quarter, 11.5 per cent above 2014.
Education Minister Christopher Pyne announced the new changes in June this year saying, “Australia is open for business and welcomes genuine and high quality international students who provide a much-needed boost to our economy, our local communities and jobs, and who boost our country-to-country relationships.”
“After coming to office the Government moved immediately to improve competitiveness and it is pleasing to see growth in international student enrolments in Australia has resumed

Australia’s student visa system is currently so complex that colleges attending education fairs end up spending half their time explaining the visa system instead of talking about the quality of education.

Under the new system, students applying to all education providers will be assessed for visa risk under a single framework. It will be based on the country they come from and the immigration compliance record of other students who have studied at that particular education provider.

A student’s financial and English language requirements will be based on the immigration profile of their country and of their chosen education provider.
Universities welcomed the new system. “The new simplified student visa process will boost equity and support an environment where high quality and low risk providers can prosper,” Universities Australia deputy CEO Anne-Marie Lansdown said.

Cottyekundayo:
As regards the short interview, that will be a phone call to you I guess... so revise your sop(if available) , take note of the cogent points, such as why you chose th school, and Australia too. You may also want to clearly outline that on a sheet of paper alongside your background, ,work experience, academic achievements, Long TERM GOALS, and some other random things that match your application documents you submitted and your personal personality.

I believe more member on this forum have more to say (I just gave my own opinion)
Also. Prepare to fire your medicals on that Monday too. No time to check time bro

@sen2paco. please when did you apply ? And when did you receive the mail from the CO?

The Australian High Commission is temporarily closed on the advice of local authorities due to violent demonstrations in Pretoria. You should avoid large gatherings and demonstrations and monitor the media and other local information sources for updates. (see Safety and Security). The level of this advice has not changed. We continue to advise Australians to exercise a high degree of caution in South Africa.
