Guest Veldrane Posted October 3, 2009 Share Posted October 3, 2009 Hello i have a massive dout. i applied last week for a sponsorship with my employer. before i was under student visa but i decided not to pay the fees for the next trimester because i was going in bridging visa from my sponsorship. If the sponsor get refused, can i apply for another student visa on-shore? Is there any chance that i might get the next student visa refused? All this instability doesnt make me sleep at night. Thank you PS. i applied for PR Indipendent skill April 2008 im in MODL. No news yet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Gollywobbler Posted October 3, 2009 Share Posted October 3, 2009 Hi Veldrane I think it is unlikely that any of the regular contributors on here knows enough about Student visas and Bridging visas to be able to help with your query. British Expats is much bigger than Poms in Oz and many more of their members are familiar with the sort of scenario which you describe. Might I suggest that you try posting your question on BE as well? The forum is here: British Expat Discussion Forum Cheers Glll Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Laura G Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 Hi, You must maintain conditions of your student visa, even though you were applying for another visa subclass, this means attending and paying fees to your Education Provider For example onshore visa's have a cascading effect. Your Education Provider will report you to DIAC for non payment of fees if they are overdue or for non attendance if you are not attending due to you not paying fees. If your student visa was to be cancelled, your Bridging visa would also be cancelled and you would be issued with a letter from DIAC to leave Australia within 28 days. Another possible scenario is if your student visa is cancelled due to breaking your conditions, you could face a 3 year exclusion from Australia. Don't mean to make you lose any further sleep, but your number one priority is to maintain course requirements and the conditions of your current visa - the last thing you need is a visa cancellation due to non compliance.

Les Mighalls Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 Precisely. There always seems to be confusion over bridging visas, but they are really quite simple. They are simply an administrative means of remaining lawfully in Australia if there is no other applicable visa. In this person's situation s/he is on a student visa which has a particular expiry date. Until that visa expires in the the effluxion of time (or until it is cancelled for breach of conditions) it remains valid. The Bridging Visa A which is associated with the application of a visa on shore does not come into effect until such as time as the substantive visa (in this case the student visa) expires. Non-attendance at the course and non-payment of fees places this person in breach of their student visa and liable to visa cancellation and removal from Australia. Should the student visa be cancelled for non-compliance it is highly probable that the skilled visa application will be rejected on character grounds.
