When will the Australian embassy begin to grant applicants their student visas this year 2021? Or have they started inviting Nigerians for visa collection?


My student visa was granted today.(Submitted my application in December, 2020) for me and my two children(Dependent) I will like to know if I can commence application for the rest of my family members while still in Nigeria.

Its hard to say at the moment due to the Covid situation as I believe there might be a huge back-log of applications that yet to be dealt with. You know, borders were closed for sometime and visa processing suspended. However, if i'm to speculate, I'd say expect a response by late february or early March. Otherwise, she might need to defer her admission till July and request for a new coe.

I submitted my own application on the 8th of December and it is presently on further assessment on the statute. Does anyone knows how long it takes to get to final decision status from the current status.
Secondly my course is supposed to commence by 1st of march. Do I begin d diferment process now or just wait to mid june cos I don't want a situation where d visa does not come out on time and d school telling me I can't differ anymore.
Thanks 4 anticipated response
