This is just coming in...

From a reliable source, I gathered that the recent delay in Student Visa, has been as a result of Fraudulent bank statements from West Africa. I'm unable to ascertain if this might be the only reason for the delay...

LOL. Reliable source, you mean one of the case officers in Pretoria ? That might false because everyone knows they will verify your documents to the least.

Simple reason for the delay is because of flooding of applications for study visa during this period. I have never seen so many people apply for Australia visa before.

Lots of Nigerians got study visas late last year and this February, this has encourage lots of applicants to submit more especially those that have been refused by Canada in the past.

Most Nigerians that got the visa during that period didn't go to the schools and most just transferred to other schools.

The pretoria office also process study visas for Nigerians and west africans living in diaspora

More Nigerians are desperate to travel abroad recently and most are seeking study route.

The same office also process study visa for other applicants from other countries, so it's a lot of work and it will take grace and quality of applications to get grants this July 2017

Bad news is that lots of applications will be denied this July 2017 and it has started happening. There are lots of reasons to refuse a study visa and the flooding by applicants won't help genuine applicants.

I will advise applicants to apply for a course that is related to their education and experience.

The purpose of study visa is for you to go and study and not PR. If you want PR, there are lots of options in skill select.

These case officers are south Africans, they are smart and they know us, you can't have a background in economics or cooking and you submitting visa application for bsc nursing.

Most people want PR, but don't tailor your study visa applications towards that line.

At least keep your intentions for PR untill you get your visa.

All the best.

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


It's well bro,God will surely make a way for you.

Good evening fam. Please I wanna know if a fixed deposit of 8 million naira would be good enough for SOA that is after paying for part of the school feels and others? Also can anybody help me with a template of what the affidavit of the sponsor that is bringing the SOA would look like.
Please any answer to my questions would be appreciated.

This your input is very correct cos I have a friend who choose to study diploma in community service he scaled through.

Most times our fear is that e.g If I studied project management and I want to go for bsc urban planning development or Information Technology on get to Aussie it might be difficult to change to a PR course like Nursing bsc and at the end of the day resulting in someone coming back after study.

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.

Please any answer to my questions would be appreciated.
About #8 been ok. I think yes. So long it is genuine and it is even after payment of the fees which will definitely reflect on the statement.
About affidavit of sponsor, have you tried Google ? Moreover, i think you can swear that in a court. Just go with your sponsor and I think a passport photograph

Yes the person is willing to add pays slips as proof of income in the affidavit.

It is genuine Alright but the payment of the school won't be from the fixed account. It'd be paid separately but payslips with the company letter head would be attached to prove the genuineness. Would it be a red flag if the fees payment comes from a different account that isn't the account of the SOA?

Whats the policy on dependents immigration after the primary applicant is granted visa


We are trying to get a study visa for my wife for masters in public health, she has a medical degree from ukraine already. Thing is we were thinking that we would all be able to go together, Her, myself and the two kids. So now we hear that she has to apply alone and go first and after about a month, myself and the kids can now apply as dependants with reference to the visa given to my wife.

Looking for advice, she has her admission and just waiting for CoE to make the visa application. Thanks.

It doesn't matter where you pay your fee from.

It seems you not linking these properly.

You mentioning payslips means the sponsor is employed.

1) why you not attaching the salary account of the sponsor to show his salary ?

2) in whose name is the fixed deposit ?

3) what's the relationship between you and the sponsor ?

The salary account does not have enough funds in it as it stands but I would sure advise her to include it for clarity.

The fixed deposit is in the name of the sponsor too.

3) what's the relationship between you and the sponsor ?
Sponsor is my uncle's wife. She would include the salary account in the affidavit of support. God bless you abundantly

Sincere this is a tough one.

Without even looking at your other circumstances like your age, course, your personal present situation in Nigeria, I will advise you not to apply with these kind of evidence.

It is not convincing and there is high probability it won't fly.

Well spoken! On what ground did I encourage other to use fake documents. I have all my documents genuine and confirmed including bank statements worth of 25 million sitting there. The whole mess was from agent cos all corresponding information is being sent to him. Fine the DIBP email him for my employment letter and he's suppose to bring to my awareness then I'll get it solve as I work in a private company. But all he did is take decision to make forge of his hoping they won't verify it. Unknowingly the sent a rep to visit there and I don't even know which company he used until he got another mail asking for comment about the non genuine documents. House, I'm only sharing my experience for others to learn and avoid anything bogus so as not to fall victim. That's all! God help us all as we journey in life.... One Love
