Congratulations on your CoE.
Which agency are you using please?
If you can get your OSHC before then please do and insist they lodge in your application immediately.
I don’t know why these agents deprive joy in delaying application.
I am also going to UNSW and I lodge my Visa application since 20th April which is over 2 months. I paid for my OSHC and got it immediately because payment was made over there.
This is the little I know, I hope it helps.

Okattamgbee:
Thank you so much for the information.

I am using Goajo Education Consult.

May I know the duration you selected before paying OSHC (Start and completion date)

Chizzyvivian:
As at when I got the cover I selected a month before my start date(e.g 1st August) and additional 1 month after my course end date.

What time did you complete your medicals and biometrics?. Im just curious because of your waiting time is above 8weeks now

Okattamgbee:
Greetings all,

I need a clarification on the following:

My CoE was sent to me this morning by UNSW, i reached out to my agent for Visa application process to be initiated.

She said since my start date is 11th September that I'll have to select August when making payment for my OSHC and also, wait till August for my OSHC to be ready before filling the online visa form.

I want to know if that's how it works considering my intake as September or can I go ahead and pay for the OSHC right away?

Thanks, will be waiting to hear from experienced person(s)

Morp:
Your agent is right about your OSHC starting a month earlier for visa purpose. After you arrive Australia, it'd be adjusted to the date of arrival.
You should pay and apply for your visa asap because September is just 2 months away and if you noticed timeline lately, it takes about 8 weeks or more. You don't need the agent to apply for visa after your admission. Best of luck.

Just wanted to find out , if bometrics normally shows on ur immi account if you've done it.

My Wife just got her student dependent visa!!! GOD is faithful

Softkey:
My take:
1. Going for a diploma when you already have a degree is a red signal. You really need to convince the CO beyond any reasonable doubt on that.
2. Intention alone won’t be enough in your case to convince the CO, what proof do you show to return back home career-wise, do you show you have a job in your new pathway to go back to?

To cut the story short, my guess is moving from degree to diploma threw you off. The CO just need a story to wrap up your denial.

Medical : July 2022
Biometrics : 25th April 2023

No one will grant you visa from Nigeria to school in AIBT, the school is on same par with our Technical School, NCE or at most OND.
With a degree and going for diploma, CO already knows your intention.
Incase you want to give it another trial, go for Msc in a tier one University and you can manoeuvre your way upon getting to the country.

Quite a number of people with similar scenario got their grants after second trial.

Pappibearr:


Damn!, i dont think it’s about the documents you provided, I think it’s more about your GTE, like he mentioned, he wasn’t convinced you would earn a lot of money here in Nigeria with that course, and that might be enough reason for you not to comeback. I would suggest you should try to prove more ties to your home country in your next application. Im so sorry❤️

JohnsonFK:
Thanks a lot for your feedback. I really appreciate 🙏🏾

How do I prove more ties to Nigeria? I’m not married but I have 5siblings with both parents based here in Nigeria. I submitted my car documents as well.

You could cite a whole lot of things. That I can’t mention here for obvious reasons

Glory be to Almighty Allah!
Australian Student Visa granted yesterday, 15th June 2023
Lodge date: 16th April, 2023
Uni: Edith Cowan University, Joondalup, Perth Western Australia
Course: Master of Engineering
The long wait full of anxiety is over!

Chizzyvivian:
In addition to what have been said, I would suggest you get
1.Reference letter from your employer.
2.Study leave approval which will state your leave have been approved, with the start date and expected date you are to resume work. It should also state you would be paid a certain percentage of your salary every month for the duration of your study leave to support tuition expenses.
Also your proposed position and expected salary per annum after your studies in Australia.
I believe this can also prove more tie home.
Goodluck

samlaura16:

From the research I made online on YouTube. The chance of getting visa grants for diplomas are slim to nonexistent currently. Most persons go for Masters or Bachelor degrees, get visa grants and then switch to diploma when they get there.

I personally think it has nothing to do with your application, maybe just take a closer look at your sop as well

JohnsonFK:

I get your point. I just wonder why they still refused my friend who HND apply for the same Advanced diploma course as well.
