MACDONALDuzoma:
Trusting God for Visa, applied 15 of Dec, I am coming to Flinders for the same course. I am interested

oh okay, pls call the embassy and explain the urgency, let them know your course start date. I applied on 22nd of Dec, i called them on 13th of February, then got my grant 16th of February. I wish you all the best my brother.

Still, i need a contact of a male student already at Flinders University or traveling this week, to help me with safe landing, the school said the the 5days temporary accomodation is not available anymore and i'm traveling today, to arrive on Saturday.

Called them on the 5th of February, called and mailed them again on the 12th of February, right now I am chilling, anytime it pleases them. Check Ur mail though

Good day Albion05, sorry for the challenge you are currently facing. I pray that the Almighty God will see you through, you have been a source of blessing and inspiration to a lot of us on this platform. You even had the courage to share your findings so as to help future applicants, I can only pray that the Lord God favor you with the best.

Please remain strong, I'll be watching to hear some good news from your side bro

Albion05:
Thanks dear, God bless.
I decided to share my refusal here for advice or input, if any have experienced this in the past.

There are some persons I spoke to that had the same issues, they appeal and their Ban was overturned and some cases Visa re- issued to them.

The reason for my refusal is known now. Yesterday I met our lawyer and after going through all the documents from the bank and all the correspondence, he mentioned were the embassy stated that the applicant submitted the same bank statement of account and reference letter from sponsors bank.
That what the embassy simply wants is a new statement of account starting from another date just to show that the account is genuine, that's all.

But the bank included the previous statement of account issued to my sponsors to refute the claim that the statement of account is genuine and emanated from the bank. In a nutshell, a new statement of account could have averted this which have turned to a big issue.
But the embassy did not requested for new statement of account, if they did, My sponsor could have printed another one and I will upload it, to print statement of account does not take more than 1 minute.

Another laywer said the same thing, that uploading new statement simply put the matter to rest.
An Agent who had exactly the same issue with her applicant said the same thing, just 2 minutes she read my refusal letter and she made that statement, "new statement of account is what they want", but remember the CO did not state such.

Am saying this so that people can learn from my experience.
-Reference letter from the Bank stating the needful,
-Affidavit of facts and
- New statement of account, simple and issue solved.
I submitted the first two only and the bank re- attached the same statement that was submitted to refute the claim of non genuine, but what the bank should have done is to print new one from a new date.

So my lawyer, has written to the bank officially yesterday, directing them to write to embassy in strong term either from their head office or the bank legal department still maintaining that the statement of account issued to their customer is genuine and emanated from the bank and they are writing and appealing on behalf of their customer for his sons visa refusal and Ban be overturned, that at no point did their customer submitted any non genuine account and that personal investigation is welcome to prove their customer submitted genuine statement of account.

An advance copy of this letter was sent to the Bank yesterday, copied the embassy and other relevant body we deemed it necessary.
We deliver the soft copy to the bank this morning and wait to see how the bank we draft the letter they will send to emassy as directed by my lawyer.

For avoidance of doubt, my documents have no issues at all. This is just what happened!...
At least am now at peace with my self for finding out the problem. I want to thank each and every one of you that offered their suggestions, moral support, psychological support and prayers. God bless you.

N/B, the case officer is harsh fellow, the case officer did not write to the bank for confirmation of this account. This has been confirmed. The bank both at the head office or the Branch did not received any correspondence.

@Mafia91, I included those my personal details as you said, thank you all.

@ SantaClause, some of what you just said are assumptions not facts.
-Citizenship did not increased to any 10 years.
Last year it was brought up on the floor of their assemble, members voted it down, so that bill did not go through. If you have the link.... you can post it here.

- Schools does not issue visa at all wether in Australia or any country.
Immigration matter is different from school, even in a situation, the immigration finds out that the school connive with the applicant to short change the country in any way, the school gets purnishment for that. So schools are very careful in what they do.
Your admission process ends with school and immigration department is totally in charge for Visa not the school, if the embassy needs to verify any thing they have means of communication with the school.

I want to book my flights, someone suggest airlines please. Gd morning everyone
