Hi Guys... Please how long does it take for the VISA result to come out after the processing period given and is it advisable to message the embassy to ask for the outcome?

Also what happens if the school has resumed and the VISA outcome is not yet out? Are they going to deny the VISA if school has resumed already...

Thanks...

How about considering the vacant occupational list below?


Australia is among the most sought-after immigration destinations across the world with tens of thousands of people trying their luck to migrate down under every year as skilled migrants. While many skills are experiencing long queues of visa applicants, there are some that have found absolutely no takers at all.

Of the 190,000 permanent visas that Australia plans to issue every year, nearly 70 per cent is reserved for skilled migrants.

Under the skilled stream migration, prospective migrants are required to nominate an occupation from the relevant occupation list depending upon the kind of visa they apply for. For the skilled independent visa (subclass 189) - a permanent visa allowing indefinite stay and giving the freedom to live and work anywhere in Australia - all applicants file an expression of interest; and based on their points test score, the Department of Home Affairs then issues them an invite to apply for a visa.

This permanent visa has nearly 44,000 places reserved in Australia’s annual immigration planning.

Some occupations such as accountants and IT professionals are so popular that due to a high volume of applications, the Department has introduced pro-rata arrangements, whereas, in some other occupations, no invites were issued during the last financial year.

Cabinet makers
Out of the total 73 occupations that are subject to a ceiling, at least six were such that did not have a single invite issued in 2017-18.

[b]Wall and floor tilers, automotive electricians, electrical distribution trade workers, boat builders and shipwrights, precision metal trade workers and livestock farmers [/b]together account for 9,603 visa places.

Most in-demand jobs that can get you permanent residency in Australia

Australia's skilled migration program is designed to fill the skill gaps to meet the country's economic needs. However,shortages in some skills continue to persist.

Sheet metal trade workers, cabinet makers, glaziers, panel beaters and barristers and some health diagnostic and promotion professionals – together accounting for over 5,300 visa places – saw just one applicant receiving an invite for each of the six occupations.

Metal workers
Precision metal workers are in demand in Australia but no invites were issued for this occupation in 2017-18.

Chaman Preet from Migration and Education Experts in Melbourne says most visa applicants with trades occupations prefer to take other routes to Australian permanent residency.

“In order for subclass 189 visa applicants to succeed, they require relatively higher levels of English proficiency, work experience and educational qualifications. In most cases, applicants with these occupations would prefer a sponsored visa that would get them additional points to meet the minimum requirements,” she told SBS Punjabi.

Most of Ms Preet’s clients are from India – a country that’s currently the biggest source of permanent migrants and Australian citizens.

While it can be an express route to permanent residency for applicants with the necessary skills, experience and English proficiency, Ms Preet says some occupations are more popular than others among Indian migrants.

“The choice of occupations depends on the ease of doing the course and then the ability of the students to find an employer because most of them would look to gain post-study work experience and then employer sponsorships to make up for any gap in the points requirement,” Ms Preet said.

SBS Punjabi earlier reported on the most in-demand occupations that can get applicants permanent residency without the need of a sponsoring state or an employer.

And besides their exchange rate is high 1AUD=270NGN and they charge 20K again.

helo gudmunin great minds,i sincerely commend d grand masters in d hous.ur inputs ar second to none

Please advise for this kind of scenario;
Applied and got a student visa, but have not travelled to Australia.
1-How many times can the student defer admission before actually starting the programme?
2-Can fees be refunded if say after 2 deferrals the students does not intend studying again probably due to personal reasons?
3-Is there any maximum number of months the student must arrived Australia after been issued the visa or does the deferral letter from the institution take care of this situation?

Your best bet is to have SOA ready even if you are not going to submit any.

1. A friend got a visa, applied Macquarie Uni without doing english test or submitting SOA, however, hes got upto 7 oversea travel experience including doing a 6months course in Ireland.

2. Someone i know also submutted an application, school was Uni of Sydney. He put in some property and assets document as proof being financially capable. Embassy specifically asked for a SOA, he had to put fast money in his account and showed documentation of him recently liquidating one of his assets before he was granted visa.

BottomLine: No matter your Uni assesment level, so far your country is AL2 or AL3, embassy reserves the right to ask for more financial proof if not satisfied with what you have submitted.

Do a little research your self, there are a list of countries passport holders eligible for the e-visiting visa, unfortunately, Nigeria is not one.
Try subclass 600, if u can fufill requirements.

1. No limits to number of deferal but school can withdraw thier offer if there is no tangible or sufficient proof of evidence given as reason for deferal.

2.There will always be a refund if you dont commence your study. Refund minus administrative fee. Study your school refund policy, in some instances where students did not complete their deferment process or did not commence the semester, without genuine evidence, administrative fee deducted maybe upto 50%.

3.You must update Dipb and ask their advice on your current situation, that is your letter of deferment, new COE and reasons for the deferment. And your new intended time of travel.
That might be your only saving grace at the port of entry.

4. Make up your mind about your travel plans, be ready when you are ready.
