Since the person is not in Lagos and doesn't want to travel twice. Modify(ignore the hap id generated) the medical health option in your application so that the applicant can do both at the same time after submission. You can schedule the medical in the morning and move to Etiebet's place Ikeja same day after medical in Ikeja or VI. Biometrics details and Hap ID will be available in your account immediately after visa submission.
That's a good idea though, but you should also be aware that when you ignore HAPID in the application and submit, you may want to wait for the case officer to generate one for you (I may not be 100% right here but that is what I know) and only God knows when that would be since recently, they removed processing time in subsequent entrant application. Think about it. You may just make the sacrifice and do this... Generate HAPID, do you medicals and submit application the following day(you would have filled all the other sections in the form and give them time to forward your health declarations to pretoria for the HAPID to be valid, else the form will reject it) then you can book appointment for biometrics (now at lekki) as early as possible maybe that day or the following day. Since i will not advice you to do medicals after submission. I dont think he will spend more than three days doing this. Also you can just use the opportunity to do your police clearance.

someone should help me out, I have gotten to stage to answer GTE questions, what is it all about, what are the Dos and don'ts, I need to upload a financial statement, how serious is it.
\

This is one of the MOST important aspect to your application to convince your case officer that you want to go to Australia to study on a temporary basis and not an intended pathway for permanent residency. Just put it in writing as a statement of purpose and avoid plagiarism because they will find out. Some of the information you should provide
are

• your potential circumstances in Australia
• your immigration history(You could include roof of stamps on your passport). If you have been refused visa before say it and give the reason why because if you say anything contrary they will find out and you could get ban
• the value of the course to your future. If you are trying to obtain a degree slightly or totally different from your previous studies, convince them why.
• any other matter relevant to your intention to stay temporarily.
• home ties (Investment, landed properties and family)
• your present employment (with valid proof)
• Evidence of leave from present employment

As regards the financial aspect, its only when you are on scholarship which is already stated in your application that i will advice you not to upload any SOA. Otherwise upload to show you have enough fund whether it appears as your required document or not

Gurus in the house can add to this.

TravelRe: General Australian Student Visa Enquiries Part 3 by Sparkle123(f): 8:14am On Jan 12, 2019
thefortuneone:
hello guys!!!

Please i need clarifications and information on my circumstance.
I got a visa grant (subclass 500) for myself but my husband and child was refused on the basis that he does not meet the genuine temporary entrant criteria and incorrect paperwork submitted. my question goes thus:

1. do they (hubby and child) need to do another biometric capturing while re-applying? - the last capturing that lead to refusal was not up to 6months

2. if they are to do another capturing, can the capturing be done before lodging another application?

3. in showing evidence of GTE, how many months (minimum) can the my hubby statement of account be?

4. what do they mean by incorrect paperwork submitted during the last application?

5. Do we need to fill another statement of purpose (SOP) for re-applying

6. Do my sponsors stated in the initial application need to give a recent bank statement again?

7. What other thing can he use to proof that his stay in Australia will be temporal aside from job, business, family ties and property owned?

Thank you as i await your response. For all awaiting visa grant, success is all i wish you.
Sorry about your hubby and child refusal
If I may ask, did you include your marriage certificates, affidavits of your change of name and newspaper publication to the application?
Also did you include your child's birth certificate?

To the best of my knowledge there is a specific amount that can be used for your child and husband as financial capacity.
Outside your tuition fee and living expenses as the principal applicant, how much did you declare as financial capacity for the three of you?

As regards biometrics, they will need to do another if they want to reapply, but the health declaration is still valid since its not up to 12 months. This is normally done after the application has been submitted online.

Yes you will need to submit another sop for them since they can only join you now as subsequent entrants.

Other gurus in the house can please add to this.

in my enquiry... I was informed that no scholarship for international students in Australia and more so, must one pay all the fee at once... cos in US i was told some schools accept to pay d semester by semester
I think scholarship for international students are only for MSC (research) and PhD degrees. I was offered a PhD scholarship with tuition, stipend and OSHC.
