penitential:
The new policies are as stated below.

1. Post graduate temporary visa applicant age is cut down from 50-35. This is to imply that if you’re over 35 after graduation, you should go home.

2. If you’re on post graduate temporary work visa, you can’t convert back to study visa( remember, most people, after finishing study and couldn’t get a nomination for either state sponsorship, employer sponsorship and 189 visa tend to convert back to study visa just to buy more time).

3. Fast processing time for skilled employment sponsor visa.

4. Post graduate work visa cut down from 5 years to 3 years, as it may apply to either bachelor, masters or phd.

The only policy that has affected oversea applicant is the raise in IELTS band score.

So, how has those policies aimed at refusing student visa?

As much as you may have a point ins saying that, you should consider the policies with it direct implication.

You should listen to your agent. If it’s not among the documents they require from you, then don’t submit it. If they want you to submit it, the case officer will request for it.
Another piece of advice avoid listening to “they say” you have an agent handling your application, let them do their job while you keep following up with the process (making sure that you are carried along with every process). what's the name of your school?
P.S. I didn’t submit bank statement (self-sponsored) and I got my grant.

Maranatha5:
Please is there any one who applied to level 1 school and didn't submit their Sponsors statement of account during visa application and got their visa approved?
It's not in the list of documents to submit in immi website checklist for my school, although some persons are saying that you need to submit it regardless.

My agent advised we don't submit it that there's no point since it wasn't specified.

Please note that I submitted this document for admission application

Please what do you guys think?

Good day.... I am currently schooling in UK (tier 4) and I don't really like the style and living conditions here and seeking alternatives. I have a wife and 2 kids and we are thinking about relocating to Australia on a study visa since it is the fastest and my visa in UK will end by May 2023.


I want your advice on how raising a family as well as working conditions in Aussie. And will I need to do ielts since I am attaching my masters certificate from UK

Islamicpope97:

That’s a lie oh if u check the previous posts it’s usually 15m naira that’s what’s usually needed and my agent told me and that’s what I still saw here.also But I didn’t use it cos it’s a AL1 school still waiting for my decision. if u use AL1 schools u won’t need it, how many people get 21m for account?
Ur agent doesn’t know what he’s saying.

Elegantus:


Thanks. It's not about the money but you have to meet the requirements.

Elegantus:
Congratulations to those who got their visa grant and good luck to those still expecting a grant.

This information is crucial to those coming to Australia.

1. Make sure that you perfect your driving skill before coming.
2. Come with a Police Check /clearance

3. If your school didnt request an English test, please make sure that you take this exam so that you can change to a cheaper school much later. 90% of schools would require a proof of English test ( IELTS/PTE)

4. Finally, with prior experience, I can help you obtain a certificate Iv in Disability, a Diploma of Community service, Certificate IV in Child, Youth and family intervention And other qualifications. that will enable you to work as a support worker. We partner with Registered Traning providers that will get you qualified ASAP. NO classes, no exams, no lectures and cheaper.

Once again, good luck
