Hi guys,

Quite an interesting thread. How come no one is talking about scholarships to assuage the effect of the exorbitant tuition? Or are scholarships not on offer in Australia?

Do ur research

Why can't she do a course on skilled immigration list? MPH doesn't add any value to your immigration status in Australia, maybe Tasmania. If she applies for a program on skilled immi list, the advantage is, she will buy time to write her AMC 1 and post study she can start her PR processing.
That is my opinion.

santity100:


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.

Nawa o
Australia wey person think say man fit enter lowkey without stress, Nigerians don wan spoil am like Canada and Yankee
Which way sef?

Thing is the agency we used for the processing said that being that she has got a medical degree, it would not be adviceable to have a post-graduate degree application for nursing. That it would raise eyebrows during processing if it is seen that a medical doctor is applying to study nurscing...something about "down-studying"

Don't try that ..better look for something else that's not on the sol list and switch later

Spot on. That was a very good advice they gave you guys.

How will a medical doctor want to study nursing. Lol

Anybody from may 15-16 still waiting for grant? Im really hoping it comes tru this week.. so i can start sleeping well..

But come to think of it, if her MPH gets us into the country, can't I now process PR based on my engineering degree/experience and practice gained from nigeria. And would said PR cover the whole family?

Yes of course. Perfect idea.

Jiggsbaby:
Please house ..what happens if your visa is approved after ur start date ...and skool has resumed..what do u do?

You would be asked to get a extension letter from you school before the visa is issued. If your school doesn't grant extension after resumption date, then you would be asked to get an updated COE for the next semester/intake and your visa will be issued 3months before resumption date.

tobe4real:
flinders uni dear but my intake is for February as they don't take 2nd semester intake for the course,although I'm trying to get my visa asap..graduate entry nursing,flinders was the cheapest I could find for 14550 a semester 2018 tuition most others are over 16grand.

You can't get your visa asap even if you apply now. The visa is issued earliest 3months before resumption. It's better to apply early though, especially if you have a good SOA now.

PurpleG:

Have you gotten your visa

Fishlink:
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

Don't give up bro. Did you apply from Nigeria or thru an agent in Australia?

No response from DIBP up till now. I applied since May8th, 2017. The wait is giving me sleepless night ooo. Orientation begins July 24th, 2017.

@JewelStone, Sanity100, lusen. Is this nornal? Any word from Aussie regarding this delay? Pls enlighten the house. Thanks

I have noticed that DIBP responds to messages on their facebook page. I think those of us experiencing such delays should write them regarding this. The truth is, traveling to a far continent like Aussie requires weeks of planning and we don't have that at the moment.

Those who have gotten feedback from DIBP should update the house regardless of the outcome.

There are lots of applications pending, don't give your self unnecessary headache. It is either they approve or refusal.

July 24th is still very far and I think most schools starts orientation July 4th or 3rd.

Relax and focus on other stuffs to keep yourself busy.

More results should be ready this week and next.
