I've been a lurker here since March of this year (after our vacation in AU). After getting a glimpse of what AU has to offer (and some convincing from friends), my wife and I decided to migrate to Australia. I browsed the threads in this forum to get some tips. I didn't know about PTE (which helped in our application) until I read about it in this forum. We were also able to have the medicals early on (by My Health Declaration). Though I didn't post at that time, I got valuable information just by reading the threads.
I was supposed to include my application in the April 2016 Visa Tracker thread since we lodged our Visa application last April 29. To our surprise, we got the grant this afternoon. We were so ecstatic to receive the golden email from GSM Adelaide!
I'd like to give back in any way I can to this forum. Ang daming natulong sa amin ng forum na 'to!

Disclaimer: I'm not saying that we'll have the same situation but before you do anything call the immi first and stay away from BVE,hehe

You have applied for student visa that is why you will have BVA. And when you applied for 189, you cannot be issued with another bridging visa for the transition from student visa to PR visa because you have existing bridging visa already (transition for student to new student visa). You cannot cancel BVA because you will technically have no visa and you are in foreign domain.
I am thinking if the same situation goes on to me, I will wait for my new student visa to be approved, then, logde the 189 visa (automatic issuance of bridging visa from stud. visa to pr visa). Not sure though. This is just my opinion on the grounds that you cannot have 2 visas at a time and that different bridging visa have different transition conditions (i.e., BVA for stud to stud, BVC(?) for stud to pr).
