If mum or mum in love is strong enough to care for a child, kindly let your child be with either of them if your husband isn't joining U.

I'm giving U this counsel as a person that came to Aussie (study) with a child. I almost run mad... No even try think am

Thanks so much for this advise,just that the father is a sailor and does'nt stay home for months.That leaves us with the option of either going as a family or going with my daughter and paying for daycare.My main issue however is this; Will three of us applying for the study visa lead to a denial by the embassy?I am asking because of advice from agent against it, probably in a bid to show home ties.

Showing Access to (Sponsor's) fund
If your sponsor isn't your spouse, parents or siblings e.g
Your in-law: Let your sponsor pay Ur tuition directly from his/her account and attached evidence and explicitly state it in Ur GTE statement.

Oyibo concept of r/ship isn't as broad as Africans esp with money mata, so dem no bliv say because person marry Ur sis/bro dem go dey dash U 💰.

It's your job to validate Ur claim...

The visa officer will see your situation is unique. Best of luck to all hopefuls

Please i'm new here, i'm also having a challenge like this. I have OND in Business Admin but i've been working since i graduated in 2013 i want to apply for Bsc in Torrence [b]hope my age won't be a barrier as i will be clocking 30 by next month. [/b]I have also sent a mail to you, I'd really appreciate your response on this.
My email is zaheeradewaleayomi1@gmail.com


STUDY GAP: in your GTE statement, explain what you have been doing since after ND, show the evidence that you have been working (like u mentioned...) If you haven't bn working, don't tell lies to complicate issues for yourself. If for instance, u have have bn helping your parents in their trade without any salary evidence, just say it and move on... It won't count against you.

I do not think your age is an issue.

Let your GTE statement be logical, connect properly and evidenced.
Proof of fund on point
Submit required and verifiable documents, etc.
Best of luck in this journey...

Thanks. Am still not sure what you mean. I have uploaded my Birth Certificate . Is this acceptable for visa application?

Help a brother in need. Thanks

Your Birth Certificate appear not to have the hospital name nor letter head, I would suggest you get 'Attestation of Birth' Certificate from National Population Commission for your Visa application

Garri can go. So far you packaged it well and visible to see.

I doubts that palm oil will go, but you can asks at the international airport, if it is close to you

Unless you are traveling as a family unit with plenty luggage space (Kg) ,Garri is too heavy, use your luggage space wisely. You will get garri, poundo yam, amala and palm oil etc., from African shop.

Bring :
1.Seasoning cubes (maggi, royco, Knorr,etc)- thank me later
2. Stockfish
3. Ogbonor (grinded, package in transparent bag and labelled)
4. dry bitter leave (if needed)
5. cray fish (grinded, , package in transparent bag and labelled)

thanks so much for the advice . will she have the evidence at hand before she change the status on the immi Account? Do you know the duration of this process ? I will delete what u said, thank you

Ought to. At the moment, she can update her marriage status and add your full name as it appears on your Passport. However, you would need to provide acceptable document for proof of marriage when applying for your visa

If you do not have Registry Certificate, another option is to find out if your both families can approach a Customary Court to issue you a document confirming that the marriage was conducted and legit. Make a photocopy of the certificate (go with original too) issued and take this document to either a Notary Public or government parastatal that certify documents. in addition to this, do a change of name in any National paper for your wife (use to be 10K).

if you have all the documents I have mentioned, you will be alright.

As soon as she edit, upload and click the submission button on her immi account after filling the change of circumstances information that is it. Home Affairs will receive the infor immediately.
You can check the duration of the outcome of Subsequent entrant Visa on Home Affairs website. However, based on experience, patience is a skill you and your wife would need to master- surely you will get your visa grant if you submit the right/verifiable documents and meets the visa requirement. Best of luck.

NOTE: Muslims can use the marriage certificate issued to them by their Imam (Registry is not the only acceptable document)

Add a change of name publication too

is there anyway I can reach you? I just got married To my wife recently in absentia. Her family did the marriage in her absence while we paid the bride price. She is in Australia with student visa Our plan was to use the dependent spouse visa to assist me but the problem now is that when travelling, she didn't write that she was married. So the agent said it's not possible for us to use spouse visa since she didn't indicate initially that she was married. Is this true? We have enough photos and videos together. Right now they are saying I should use school visa and I have only ND. I am so confused. Never been this confused in my life.. I am close to depression


I don't know if someone already address your question, but here is the answer. Your agent is correct only if the evidence of your marriage is prior or exist at the time of your spouse Student Visa application.

Since your marriage is after your wife got her Visa, here is the way to go-
On her immi account, she would need to update a change in her circumstances (Marriage status from single to married) and provide evidence. I'm not sure about what evidence you would use since what you have done is Traditional marriage (also in absentia).

Once the issue of proof of marriage (marriage certificate, photos, etc) is settled, application for Subsequent entrant (your application ) is breeze

Click on 'Single cover' if buying for one person

Click on 'Dual Cover' if buying for two people

Multiple or Family cover is for a family of 3 or more

I think you are wrongly choosing Multiple Cover ( unless I'm not up to date)

If you choose the right Cover and it's still asking for Primary Applicant, put the name of the Person you are buying the cover for. If it's your spouse and child, start with the former and add the latter.

If you are still confused, ring the OSHC providers U are considering for clarification


Thank you for responding. I have been trying to go through option 2 too but they all required details of primary applicant like it's the student purchasing the insurance. So that why I am stuck.

Please be kind to put me through how to you purchase a separate cover please. (The cheapest for me right now is Medibank and Allianz based on their quote)

1. You have the option of including the Subsequent entrant in the existing OSHC of the Primary applicant (Upgrade)
2. Buy separate cover from a different provider (Insurance company)
Note: I have used option two in the past before withdrawing the application due to Covid-19.

Having same Insurance provider simplifies things for you but it isn't an immigration requirement.
Immigration requirement is to have health cover (from approved Provider) for the entire period of you stay/visa

Can one apply the visa on his own or advisable to use agent for my dependants?

Am the principal visa holder for student visa -master student n my Visa is out already.

Pls I need answers oooooo


You can apply for your dependents by yourself.

Documents to submit:
1. Proof of fund (if required)
2. Health Cover for dependents, same end date as your health Cover duration
3. Proof of r/ship e.g Marriage Certificate, family album, etc.
4. Police Xter Certificate
5. Int'L passports
6. Children birth certificate
7. GTE statement
8. Child's Immunisation history certificate
9. Medical
10. Biometrics
11. Declare any previous visa denial (if any)

The documents checklists should provide some guide.
Unless you really don't understand the visa application process, U don't need an agent.
Note: Under Sub-Class 500 visa, you need to select 'Subsequent Entrants' when applying for your dependents. Cheers!

You can compare your OSHC price here: https://oshcaustralia.com.au/en

You will get the cheapest @ ahm OSHC, Medibank, CBHS
MOST EXPENSIVE: nib, Allianz Care, Bupa

couple or Multiple cover( family with children) is expensive because it is assumed that family tend to be sick 'together' or in cluster which increases claims from the policy provider

You would be asked if you smoke and/or take alcohol. I don't think weed in Ur sys is a big deal. Their main focus would be on Ur chest x-ray ( esp as a smoker) while screening for TB.

Good news for some people and bad news for some.
My visa got denied. Reason cos GTE and no enough tie back home. I’m 33 no wife or child/ children. And there’s is no appeal for offshore student. Pls @ all what can I do? Should I reapply. My head no correct right now

A classmate of mine got a denial in 2019 for similar reasons apart from age (she was 27).

Her agent (female) put in a strong and wordy defence for her appeal. One of her counter-arguments was that strong ties cannot be limited to marriage as her aged parents serve as strong family ties in the absence of marriage, and that to describe ties in terms of marriage alone amount to stigmatizing people who have personal reasons to be unmarried at the given time...

If you have shown anywhere in your GTE (backed by evidence) that you have property(ies), OR if you hold decisive position in your family e.g 'first born, First son, in charge of family biz, pictures showing you and your family members particularly your mother, go ahead and give it a try. Exhaust your options, it can't be worse than already.

If your argument is cultural based (first born Trad/Cultural duties, blah blah blah); show them personal/family related proof and also refer them to well-known African literature(s) that explains these roles better- Chinua Achebe's 'Things Fall Apart' & Ola Rotimi's 'The gods are not to blame' might have suitable plot...

If the cost of appealing is within your budget and you can equally stand a 'final' No, then go for appeal and know that you gave it your best shot- on this occasion.

Note: offshore applicants can appeal unless the rules have changed and I'm behind the news..

Best of luck

Am new here mhen and I really want to go to Australia. I have ND in mineral resources engineering. I don't know how to even start the process. I have save up to 4mil, don't know if it's enough. Please I need your help family. Help a brother

I'm going to assume that having ND means you're relatively young (perhaps in ur twenties), if that's the case, U may want to explore the route of a Diploma (e.g Diploma in Nursing, Diploma of Community Service, etc.)

because your budget is slim, U want to invest carefully and smartly from the onset and not consider course change as per PR ( choice Ur course wisely)

The other thing to do is to be ready to put in the work/research and ask relevant questions along the way- trust me, this thread has the pretty face humanity...

If you choose this part, I would suggest U apply for your visa by 'yasef' to save cost- you can do it, nothing dey dia.

If you need help with list of documents and GTE proofreading and someone to critique GTE statement, I might be able to 'one time's

Finally, I have observed that Nigerians hardly get Aussie Visa via Diploma courses OR maybe because we are highly educated or amass degrees so Diploma isn't common.

BUT, you never know...

Note: I suggested Diploma because it's less expensive, reduced Proof of fund and you can also pay your way thru easy...

If you bliv and put the work, your dreams will walk ...

As it stands, should I apply for the and move. Also, do I need to quarantine in WA?.
Thanks dear

I'm not sure about the implications of making a U-turn on the stated...


However, you can still go ahead to apply for pass and put a date that's after the 14days U mentioned. Once granted, U fly to WA as an interstate traveller rather than international traveller (because U spend 14days in another State)

Note that the pass is 'date-restricted' as U have only few days in addition to your proposed fly in date.
Quarantine or Self-Isolation is now 7days
