Where is your campus cairns or Townsville in Queensland

Pappibearr:

Waiting time is about 8 weeks, I guess you have to be calm and pray about it. I have also been waiting for a similar period of time. Hopefully it ends in praise

No problem bro

Please, i will like to ask the house for advise. my visa was lodged on the 22nd of June and i tried booking for medicals and biometrics they both gave me same date 7th of July, (IOM & VSF) Lagos.

Though the medicals date was selected by IOM themselves due to an error message from their site, so i sent them a mail to complain and they replied with 7th June as the only available date. unfortunately i was not able to meet up with the biometrics after my medicals at IOM Ikeja as i got there 40mins behind the appointment time. I was advised by the VSF staff at the gate to reschedule the appointment as they can not allow me in. From the available date on VSF website the most convenient date for me is 21 July.

I want to ask if this will not affect my visa processing, as it will mean my biometrics will be done 4weeks after my visa application.

i need your advise please.

It wouldn’t affect your visa processing at all. Thank God you did the medicals first cause to get a date with them is difficult. The visa processing is slow, they haven’t even attended to us May Applicants. My application is 7 weeks old as of today 🙈.

NB: on my request for biometrics from Australia home affairs, I was given 14 days after visa application to do biometrics.check yours.

It wont affect your processing time. Visa time takes 8weeks as of now. And also, to be on a safe side, make sure you get your biometrics done at the timeline given to complete biometrics on Immi .a timeline is given to complete either biometrics or medicals on Immi .

On my request for biometrics letter from their home affairs, it was stated that my biometrics be done within 14 days after I applied. You should check yours to avoid stories.

On mine, it's states that failure to do it within 14 days , you have to write a letter of explanation and on your immi or face refusal.

I suggest you submit the letter of explanation and go for you appointment ASAP. Give concrete reasons why you missed it.

Mine also has 14days.. I never paid attention to the referral letter before now. I’m just confused, my agent is saying there is no need for the letter of explanation. I should just go for the biometrics on the nearest available date.

Agents and their I don’t care attitude. The agent ought to have informed you. I find myself doing more research and work than mine.

Try to go on the nearest available date, still talk to your agent, if you can add letter of explanation to be on the safe side. I’ve read a case here where the visa was granted notwithstanding the delay in biometrics.

If your Visa grant comes out can you still travel and start working while waiting for the next session ?

Once your visa is granted you can travel anytime you choose but the tricky part is that you cannot start working until study commences. Also I think you might need to update your OSHC to suit the duration of your stay.

Is there anything special about 10th and 11th?

A friend told me that he knew someone with similar issue but the guy was able to work and save up good amount before session start.

The opportunity to work before your course start date was stop since June 30th of this year.
Please, don't go and get stuck there.
