Many students studying in Australia begin to apply for visas before the start of school, which can easily lead to delays in admission. Relevant people stressed? New Express News (Reporter Wang correspondent) Recently, Australian education exhibitions and college enrollment activities have been frequent, and many students are also interested in enrolling next spring. According to industry sources, considering the time and operability, it will be faster and more appropriate for students to apply for an Australian study visa by using e-visa. However, due to the lack of openness in the interpretation of e-visa, many applicants feel mysterious and blindly optimistic about e-visa, such as not knowing how to apply. Or start applying at the end of the class. To this end, officials of the Australian Agency for International Development and Education stressed that e-visa is not everything! You can't take it for granted. E-visa is not open to individuals. It is understood that in order to shorten the visa approval time, the Australian Immigration Bureau began to pilot the student e-visa in China last summer, and it was officially launched in June at 5438+065438+ 10. The Australian Immigration Service classifies all countries of origin of international students into five risk levels, and China is ranked as the fourth highest risk country. Because China applicants submit false materials, overstay or apply for a protection visa after the student visa expires, and the student visa is cancelled during the study period, the Australian government is very cautious in implementing e-visa in China. This caution is mainly manifested in three aspects: 1. Not directly open to applicants, but choose some experienced intermediaries with good records in the Immigration Bureau as agents (there are currently 82 in China); 2. After the applicant obtains the visa, all the application materials must be kept by the agency for one year. If there is a problem with the students who have been spot-checked, their qualifications will be cancelled, and the agency will also be punished, or even the e-visa qualification will be cancelled; 3. Will the Immigration Bureau adopt the e-visa? Targeted investigation? And then what? Random spot check? Methods To ensure that the student applications submitted by these intermediaries are true and reliable. The processing speed is affected by four aspects. One of the biggest differences between e-visa and traditional visa is the fast approval speed. Some cases are approved within three to five working days, but some cases also take 1-2 months or even longer. According to idp official introduction, there are many reasons: 1. Fixed electronic visa acceptance procedures. These applications will be distributed to Australian visa officers for approval within 3 working days, usually 5 working days, after the application agency completes all the steps such as online information input. If the submitted materials are complete, true and clear, and consistent with the first approval of the visa officer, it is not surprising that they will be approved within 3 to 5 days; If the visa officer has questions or missing materials, there will be problems such as supplementary materials, and the approval time will be extended. 2. Visa materials? Incomplete? As a result, the visa time is extended. Generally speaking, a complete application can be completed within 2 weeks, and an incomplete application can be completed within 6 weeks. What is matter? Incomplete? ? It is the lack of the basis needed by the Immigration Bureau to make the evaluation results, such as the medical examination results, some main documents and materials that need to be uploaded online, and the applications that have not yet been included in the targeted investigation or random investigation in these cases. Among them, there are many factors, such as whether the intermediary operation is wrong, whether the medical examination hospital cooperates, whether the applicant cooperates, and whether it is unlucky to be selected as a random sampling object, which may lead to the delay of application. 3. The influence of network technology on speed. According to idp, the electronic visa system is an online operating system based on Internet transmission. Whether you can successfully log on to the visa website of the Australian Immigration Bureau and whether the two parties can dock smoothly is directly related to whether your application can be successfully issued. To this end, the Australian Immigration Bureau is making various attempts and cooperation. 4. The influence of visa peak period on speed. Adelaide Visa Center is mainly responsible for the examination and approval of traditional visas for Indian students and electronic visas for China and China. At present, the visa center has 22 visa officers, 9 of whom are responsible for the examination and approval of electronic visas. July and August will be the peak periods for Indian students to submit e-visas, which may slow down the approval process or cause confusion. Three types of people can't use electronic visas. Some applicants with student visas cannot use online e-visas. For example, students applying for international student research scholarships, guardians of students under 18, and China students studying in other countries must submit visa applications in traditional written form. It is reported that the Immigration Bureau strongly opposes the phenomenon that applicants keep urging. In fact, the Immigration Bureau explicitly requires that the submission time of e-visa should be no later than 3 months and no earlier than 4 months. However, due to the precedent of getting a visa in a short time, many intermediaries and students are willing to take the risk to start applying when they leave school very close. If the application is not approved as scheduled, the enrollment schedule will be very tight, and even the enrollment will be delayed. Therefore, the student union often urges the intermediary to send an email or fax to the immigration office for inquiries. In fact, this is usually meaningless, because your urging will only get an automatic reply based on the template, and it will disturb the normal approval of the visa officer. In particular, the Immigration Bureau is very opposed to fax reminders. Generally speaking, the electronic visa application submitted by the Immigration Bureau through the Internet is very direct, clear, true and qualified. Therefore, whether an applicant submits a visa through an electronic visa must listen to the advice of the intermediary. If your situation is complicated and needs a lot of written documents, it is recommended that you apply in traditional written form, and the approval time will usually not exceed 8 weeks.
