Hi all

Pls what should I do DIBP e-mailed me on 25th January saying my transcript is not included in my application, I immediately e-mailed it to them on 26th, they gave me 28 days of which I submitted on the next day, ever since then no response at all, I am cut of the opinion that I should mail them, another part of me says I should wait till 22nd Feb which is 28 days window, guys pls advice me, what will happen to my visa? Has anyone experienced this sort of stuff? Will it be after the 28 days b4 they take my case or what?

I advice you to call Pretoria customer care and explain your situation to them.

My 573D visa application was sent through courier from Australia by my spouse.
Visa Application was lodged on the 23rd of December 2015
I was contacted by my CO to go for my biometrics on the 8th of February 2016
573D Visa Granted 11th of February 2016

I prayed like i have never prayed before and God turned my tears of sorrow to tears of Joy this year 2016.
I urged those people waiting for their visa grant to not relent in their prayers. As long as you have faith in God, he will definitely answer you.
I appreciate everyone on this post. Am sooooooooooooo hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhaaaaaaaapppppppppppppppppyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

Yes, I did medicals before I applied.

STAugustineOf13:
I have been a Ghost/Spiritual reader tryna catchup to this last page. Thanks to all that made me Knowledge pack. And special Thanks to @Mrnilobrown my Blood Bro.
Now the question is, have they [Pretorians] gone on Strike or Closed for the year?

Lodged IN since November 19th failed to Add Medicals.
Has anyone received Any news from them since 7th of December becox it seems they are on backing on some stuffs about Border protection, it's there in their News Update on their site.

And who else is going to Australian Pacific College?

It's the same I lodged my application, no news at all from them as well, please let me know if you receive any mail from them.

I applied for a subclass 573 dependant visa through a MARA agent in Australia, my husband did all the documentation and I also sent some through DHL to him. My question is since I didn't do any 'Biometrics' along with the application is it going to affect the decision of the CO. Note that I have been refused my visa grant twice already within 5months. Pls @erictack203, @ewagbamio and my other friends please help me with your response

Naaah, I am on a student visa. I will emphasise on being prayerful in all you do and do your best to get the first job in what you like to do (mine is in customer services) and your resume should be very good.immediately you come, start looking for jobs (I got mine online and the school job board), ensure you apply for at least 2 jobs a day or more. Advertise yourself well in the resume and sell yourself well in the interview, remember Naija no dey carry last

Please which site did you see the job vacancies,as I want to apply as a customer care agent as well

Hello peeps, it has been a while I visited the house. Big congratulations to those coming to join us soon and I pray for those awaiting their visas. Sydney is a beautiful place but can be lonely, in my eight weeks here I have learnt a lot but I have also achieved somethings all thanks be to God. I have my own 2 bedroom apartment though looking for a flatmate to share bills(pls note that houses are not easy to get if your account statement in Australia does not have inflows and if you are a student) and I also have a good stable job in a big company( 3rd job actually). Lesson learnt: be your self, speak normally don't fake accents if you want people to understand you, avoid excess luggage from nigeria cos it is not worth it majority of the stuffs are sold here, bring a lot of hair attachments and learn basic hair plaitings cos hair do is freaking expensive , some men want to marry from the first day of meeting if they know you are new in town, avoid cabs so quickly learn the transport system, finally ask questions from everybody. I am still learning, ciao

I will be coming to Sydney soon,still waiting for my visa grant. I guess it would be nice to hook up with you when I get there.

erictack203:
Is yours SVP? He submitted 31st July, Granted Aug 25th.

Mine is SVP nomination. I submitted since July 20th

erictack203:
Hello House, a friend of mine got his grant yesterday, his OSHC starts counting from 25th Oct, can he enter Australia now?

Please when did he apply for the grant,as I am still awaiting mine since 4th of July. I called their customer service and was told my CO is on leave,it was so annoying

erictack203:
Thanks a lot my dear. Your information is wealth to the house.

God will give you your heart desires.

Thanks, Amen

erictack203:
@Scholly,

when completing your form 919, we're you requested to Submit a Bank Statement and a Letter from your hubby's School stating that he is making academic progress? How many years program his he studying?

I didn't submit bank statement, it was lastweek that I was sent email to send proof of financial transactions between me and my hubby to show that we are really a couple,as well as pictures from before we got married, pictures of our marriage and pictures after our marriage.

deleyi20:


Thanks for this contribution. I'd like to ask some questions as well;

1. did he state during his student 573 visa application earlier, that he was in a de-facto relationship with you? Did you play any role back then?

2. Is it so stressful presently and what is the process like.

My Situation: I have a girlfriend presently. I intend to apply for Student Visa soon and I hope to return and marry her during the course of my stay there, after which I'd bring her over to join me.

3. What should me be the best line of action for me?

Thanks

No he didn't state that he was in a De-facto relationship. We didn't really know the process then.
Is not stressful physically at all,is just to take documents to teleperformance. I went with our marriage certificate, notarised passport pages of me and my hubby, birth certificate, vitally everything that was required in the checklist that concerns the visa I applied for.

I can't really tell you the best line of action as am still waiting for my visa.

lawland:
Hi Sholly, whats your hubby studying?

He is studying Nursing, his visa subclass is 573

BKings:
@Lawland thanks for your reply.

Please how easy is it coming back home to marry, as a student, and going back with her immediately, or is it advisable to get married here before leaving so as to make it easier for her to join

I am going through the process at the moment, my hubby came to nigeria and we got married before I took the form 919 he came with and some others documents to abuja to apply for visa.

ukdave:

Seems the Australian Immigration was set up to teach patience and perserverance because once you lodge your application you are kept in the dark until they contact you. After contacting teleperformance and sending two emails without response, I've left the matter in God's hand. So be prayerful and just keep praising God for a good response. I also heard this season is busy because they start a new year in July and so on and so forth....

.

I finally received a mail from them on the 13th asking for more documents as per my marriage because am going to join my hubby over there,i sent the documents to them through email on the 14th,now am waiting to hear a positive news from them. I believe God will perfect His work.

lighternote:
@Lilspiceyy, congrats!!!! I'm so happy for you, dear. Where r u headed? We meet soon over there. Explore the IOM opportunity, very cost effective.

What is the meaning of SVP and IOM. Am still waiting for their call or mail

ukdave:
Hello,
Please how do I follow up my visa application on teleperformance? They don't seem to have any way of logging into their website to track visa applications.

.

Am still in the same boat with you. I lodge my application since July 14, I still haven't heard anything from them. Please help

They look so real and scary, don't like them..... Am not a fan of such tattoos, i like tattoos but I can never dent my skin with any.

I like your write up, I will try and replace my vegetable oil with olive o because I like fried plantain alot. Thanks u
