Zykore:
How early can you lodge an Australian student visa application ?

Is 4 months to commencement date too early?

My agent says I must apply 3 months to commencement date.

Is this true?

Zykore:
Good evening everyone.

I got a fully funded scholarship for PhD from the University of Queensland.
I received my CoE since Oct 18th 2022 for a commencement date of April 1st 2023.

The school also provided OSHC starting March 1st 2023.

My agent has said that I cannot lodge a visa application until 3months to the commencement date.

Is this true?
Do i have to wait till January 2023 to apply for student visa?

I'm ready to lodge my application this December. If I go ahead and apply 4 months to my commencement date, would there be an issue?

So finally uni of Newcastle gave me unconditional offer today.

But there's a mistake on the offer or maybe it's my thought.

The oversea student health cover charge is $8400 and family was written beside it .

Although I am married (family of 3) I don't intend to apply for visa with my family.

The plan is to bring them later .

I feel the health cover charge is a mistake it should be single not family .

Please I need your input guys because I am thinking of calling the school to lodge a complain

I have received my COE from University of Newcastle. I've paid for my OSHC. I am also a family of 3 but I am going alone for now.

Solitin40:

Call or email them and explain to them you want single

Also by the way OSHC provided by them is always expensive use https://oshcaustralia.com.au/en/quote?adjusted=true&adults=1&children=0&extended=true&finish=2022-12-29&source=fp-quote-builder&start=2022-11-30 to compare cheap OSHC good luck

I just spoke with them .the health quote will be adjusted.

Will pay for my family when the time comes, for now I will prefer it's for myself alone .

Sorry if I may ask how did you pay tuition deposit because it seems there's no option to use form A.
They only accept card payments and flywire

engrlarex:
I paid via form A, the agent claimed they don't have the account number of the school probably they want me to pay through them but I contacted the school myself and pressured them to give me the account details of the school which they did. If you don't have form A sure plug, don't bother to disturb them because they were reluctant to release their account details

@Danieldara011
You can use form A to pay via flywire also..
Click on either the dollar or pounds option.. follow the instruction to generate the invoice/payment instructions
That’s what you will use to fill the form A.. Also attach the payment instructions among documents to be submitted for Form A.

My employers, sponsor etc were not contacted. But I submitted genuine documents and God did it. Thank you Jesus!!!...........God that did it for me will also do it for all those expecting. My advice to you is; pray more when you lodge in your application.

Smile4me01:

I would prefer questions asked here as it helps other Nigerians.

I'm happy to help with what I know. There are also some good guys here contributing like @AussieJoan

@ AussieJoan: How are you going mate? You.mind going out sometime. Lol

Zykore:
Una well done oo...

Can someone suggest what to do pls.

My middle name on my birth certificate was abbreviated. Just the letter. However all my other official documents show my full name. No abbreviation.

Can I use this birth certificate for Australian student visa applicantion?

AussieJoan:


Dude, I don leave you for student visa, Currently on 485 and reaching out for the golden mail.

Alexyswiss:
Shouldn't be a problem. tbh. The birth certificate is just to confirm name. Since you have your full name on your passport with date of birth corresponding and all other documents it won't be an issue.

Is it an NPC certificate?
