[quote author=ARS1 post=72235618]Long epistle alert! It all started around January last year when I made up my mind to enroll for PhD program in Australia. Those who have passed through this stage will perfectly understand how tedious the process is- starting from putting in place a novel research proposal, getting a professor to supervise your project and finally, securing funding for your program. To be honest, one needs to be highly motivated and dedicated to survive these hurdles. I must confess, my dedication and perseverance really paid off after series of rejections as I was able to get the consent of three supervisors from different universities who were willing to support my applications. Between July and December 2017, I had completed the application process for admission and funding. To God be the glory, the results started coming out in April 2018. Two of the Universities offered me admission with full funding (stipend + tuition+ family insurance cover) while the third University offered only admission without funding. Sorry, i forgot to mention that one of the Universities is in G8 (equivalent of ivy league) What a great news! Without waisting time, I quickly accepted the offer from this Universty for obvious reasons. Apart from the fact that the University is consistently ranked among the top 50 in the world, my department is also ranked among the top 10 in the world. In view of this, I had to reject other offers. As soon as my COE was issued, I quickly submitted my Visa application on June 26, 2018. To avoid unnecessary issue, every document was submitted with my application. To my surprise, I got no response from DIBP on my application after three months. Then, I decided to send a polite email to DIBP on 6th October 2018 on progress of my application as my enrollment deadline was 14th October 2018. Alas, I got a refusal notice on 9th October 2018. In the refusal notice, the visa officer submitted that she was not convinced that I met the genuine entry requirement as I do not have strong ties to return to my country despite the fact that I didn't not apply together with my family. She further posited that she was not convinced that PhD is beneficial to my career goal as a tutor. What an insult again! The refusal notice was quickly sent to the graduate school and my supervisor. This unfair decision did not meet my supervisor well as she quickly sought the intervention of the University. In her email to the graduate school, she clearly mentioned that this is the most disgusting reason for visa refusal she has ever heard. While she has hoped for the intervention of the University, I understand that the University might not be able to reverse the decision of DIBP as there is no option for appeal. Given this dilemma, it will be appreciated if any useful advice could be given. Call me on 09067952638 i will definitely help you out. |

When you know you do not have anything positive to contribute, y must you now comment. If you are privileged to be in his shoes may be you will understand why he's going to Australia for his PhD.. it's not compulsory you contribute.

naijacann: I understand you clearly but unfortunately a beggar has no choice. The state of Nigeria affects everyone in every area. Racism? Probably but the truth is that the chances of Nigerians suffering racism and discrimination from whites will be higher than black south Africans and this is because south Africa as a country has more value than Nigeria. This is why i cry everyday that Nigeria should stand up among the comity of nations because this is the only way citizens can gain rspect. As long as Nigeria remains a shithole, the chances of these bulshits happening to nigerians will be high. Respect is earned. 5 Likes |

Nigeria, our dear country has a pathetic image across the world. A friend of mine recently applied for a visa to a European country, name withheld. On appearance, he was bluntly told by a mischievously smiling visa officer that his application had been rejected, with a thunderous stamp on his passport. And he had the requisite requirements! What nonsense! Shame! 1 Like |

ARS1: First, permit me to empathise with you. Visa refusal can be frustrating and tiring. Please do not have the feeling that it is of racism as every country as their policy of granting study visa's for example, the UK is less concerned about your social economic home ties, but when it comes to the Republic of Ireland, USA, Canada and Australia, they are concerned about a student proving his/her social economic home ties. How I wish I could go through your information and the refusal note given to you. Your refusal was centred on your ability to convince them under the GTE. You can contact me with more details at info@studycrest.com. Best Regards 1 Like |

ARS1: Of all the places you want to get your Phd, it is Australia that you decided to pitch your tent. The current stance of the present government in Australia is anti- immigration and I believe that if you are current with news you might have decided against applying to a school there. Anti immigration in most of these white dominated countries is based on one single issue: racism. Ask the New Zealanders about migrating to Australia and they will tell you its easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for their citizens to get to Australia. Because of mass migration and racism, the Australians moved their Nigeria and West Africa Visa section to South Africa and later back to Australia. My Advice is dont insist on Australian Phd. You can go to UK Ivy League Colleges such London School of Economics and Political Sciences, Cambridge and Oxford to do your Ph.D without facing immigration problems. Much as their education is world class, you can find the same in USA and Canada if you care to search. Wishing you good luck. 6 Likes 1 Share |

my advice for you is to get an influential person to write the embassy immediately. this was the same thing my boss daughter went through immediately the father intervened as a Senior advocate of Nigeria na sharp sharp |

I hardly reply on the forum...but this story got me.. very disgusting behaviour.. even with a well reputable university? Australia has the worst attitude when it comes to visa application.. I love my pride.. I'll always stay away from allowing these high school or diploma holders insult my intelligence.. So imagine you if you had gotten it and you reach ground breaking research.. these same idiots will quickly claim you as theirs.. bloody wombats.. Bro.. two things.. 1. Search for the same thing in Canada or the U.S. and go through the process again. 2. Request a differed admission from the uni and apply all over again.. I'm guessing you're married.. make it clear and that you're not travelling with them.. if that isn't strong tie enough then they can go shag their koalas.. 15 Likes 2 Shares |
