24.01.2022 Attention !! Attention !! Attention !! Student Visa Expiring on 15th March 2018 ? *What is GTE (Genuine Temporary Entrant):*... One of the most common reasons for a student visa refusal is not providing sufficient evidence to meet genuine temporary entrant requirement. The GTE requirement applies to all student visa applicants. An applicant must provide a personal statement in English addressing the GTE requirement. Where an applicant is not comfortable writing their statement in English, it can be written in their own language, however, a translated copy must be submitted. An applicant can provide details within the application form, or attach a written statement along with supporting documents. Generic statements unsupported by evidence will not be weighed heavily in the GTE assessment. *Current processing time (Subclass 500):* Stream ---------------------75 %----------------90 % Vocational------------------61 days------------82 days Higher Education Sector-25 days------------46 days *Documents* You must upload all the required documents at the time of visa application. Failure to do so may result in the refusal of your visa. How do I know when my visa ends? You can check your visa information online at any time through Visa Entitlement Verification Online (VEVO). This will give you information about your visa's expiry date as well as any conditions attached to your visa or other requirements. Please contact Ms. Pooja Ale for further information .

12.01.2022 These are 7 simple steps to protect yourself and others from COVID-19.

12.01.2022 Skilled Migration Visas Condition 8504 must enter before a specified date. & Covid-19 The Department of Home Affairs have recently provided information in relation to offshore Skilled visa holders who are subject to visa condition 8504 must enter before a specified date. For the purpose of this information, offshore Skilled visa holders are those who are offshore and hold one of the following Skilled visas:... Skilled Independent (subclass 189) Skilled Nominated (subclass 190) Skilled Regional (subclass 489) Skilled Work Regional (subclass 491) The 8504 first entry date condition requires a visa holder to enter Australia before a date specified by the Minister, this date is provided in each Grant Notification letter. The intent of the first entry date condition is to ensure that new migrants enter Australia within a reasonable period after being granted their visa. Breaching an entry-related visa condition does not in itself cause the visa to cease to be in effect rather, renders the visa liable for cancellation. The Department strongly advises visa holders to comply with the first-entry condition however, given the pandemic status of Covid-19, the Minister will not seek to cancel a Skilled visa where the only reason for doing so would be breach of this condition.
