Please note that the average processing time for Student visa applications
is about 90 days from date of lodgement. However, this is indicative only
and individual applications may be decided shorter or longer than our
advertised service standards. Applicants are encouraged to lodge their
applications three months before their commencement dates as we are unable
to expedite Student visa applications.
Currently, your application is still waiting to be allocated to a case
officer. The Visa Office is continuing to process applications based on
application lodgement date. Within those cases that have been allocated
and is being processed, priority is being given to those with courses
commencing shortly.
FROM PREVIOUS EMAIL
Our records indicate that your application is currently being assessed.
Please note that the average processing time for Student visa applications
on Assessment Level 3 & 4 is 90 days from date of lodgement. However, this
is indicative only and individual applications may be decided shorter or
longer than our advertised service standards depending on a range of
factors, individual circumstances and the complexity of each case,
including medical assessments done by Global Health in Australia.
Once a decision is made on your application, it will be communicated to you
via the option you have indicated in your application form.
