Student/Holiday Very Urgent.

[Guest theweekshousehold]

Hi

 

Wrote on this site before with ref to this but our Migration Agent is being very vague and no committed.

 

Whilst waiting for your Student Visa to be granted (which could be any day soon) can you visit on a Holiday visa and then fly ou of Oz and back in to validate it.

 

Has it been done, also wot happens when you arrive on a 1 way to Aus

 

Regards

I know this is too late but may be of help any how!!!! This information was part of an e.mail sent to me

this morning from immi.gov in relation to my 573 student visa application. Dont know if this applies to all visas?

 

.............When the medical outcomes have been finalised and hopefully, cleared, we will have

the potential to grant your visa application and advise you of the outcome.

 

You should not travel to Australia until you have received notification of

the grant of your student visa. If you decide to arrive in Australia

before the grant of your visa you will need to lodge and pay for a new

student visa application onshore.....................End of message!

Thanks

 

Its been ok'd you can come in on a holiday visa but have to leave the country again & come back in for it to be auth

Are you sure of this advice? I do not see it that way....does DIAC actually state that you must leave Australia to authorise visa? AL1 citizens can apply from onshore from tourist visas etc. and also revert back to tourist visas etc. etc. that is why you are AL1.

 

We had an AL1 earlier who took first study visa offshore from Slovenia, went to Oz, started study, dropped to a tourist visa under advice of DIAC after finishing first block of study and changing provider and waiting for CoE on further study, then doing study visa again......but expensive on visas.....

Hi Andrew

 

I've exchanged e-mails with the lady concerned (the student sister). DIAC managed to lose the paperwork for her student visa but have now found it again. Her course starts on 28 Jan.

 

Since it was DIAC's own fault that this thing has gone to the wire, they seem to be bending over backwards to make amends to the applicant - as well they should.

 

Cheers
