What is the reason for the slow approval of electronic visa in Australia?

It is reported that one of the biggest differences between evisa and PVA for Australian students is that the approval speed is fast, which usually takes two weeks, but some of them take one or two months or even longer. Visa officials said that in three cases, electronic visa approval was slow when staying in Australia. The following is the details, welcome to read.

It is understood that these applications will be assigned to Australian visa officers for approval within 3 working days after all the steps such as information input are completed online, usually 5 working days. If the materials submitted are complete, very authentic, credible 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.

1. Visa materials? Incomplete? Lead to slow approval

Generally speaking, a complete application can be completed within 2 weeks, and an incomplete application can be completed within 6 weeks. ? Incomplete? Materials refer to the lack of evidence required by the Immigration Bureau, such as physical examination results, some major documents and materials to be uploaded online, and cases that have been included in targeted surveys or random surveys without results. There are many factors, such as intermediary operation errors, whether the medical examination hospital cooperates, whether the applicant cooperates, and being selected as the object of spot check, which may lead to the delay of application.

Second, the influence of network technology on speed.

According to visa officials, the electronic visa system is an online operating system based on Internet transmission. Whether the visa website of the Australian Immigration Bureau can log in successfully and whether the two parties can dock smoothly is directly related to whether the candidates' applications can be issued smoothly.

Third, the impact of the peak visa period on the 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 are the peak periods for Indian students to submit e-visas, which may slow down the approval process or cause confusion.

E-visa applications can be submitted at least 4 months before the start date of the registration course in Australia (subject to COE) and at least 12 weeks before the start date of the course. Because students who have not been further evaluated will sign the contract within 12 weeks, if the application materials are incomplete or further evaluated, the evaluation time will exceed 12 weeks. If candidates miss the start of this semester, they will be postponed to the next enrollment. The candidate must submit a new COE, but the original position of the candidate in the e-visa application queue will not change.

In the process of choosing an Australian study visa, students are interested in e-visa. As for the approval speed of e-visa, in some cases it can be approved within three to five working days, but in some cases it takes 1-2 months or even longer, mainly for the following reasons.

1. E-visa should follow certain acceptance and review procedures.

It will take some time for the audit procedures for studying in Australia to accept electronic visas to be implemented. These applications will be assigned to Australian visa officers for approval within 3 working days, usually 5 working days, after all the steps such as online information input are completed.

If students can prepare the materials properly and systematically in the early stage when applying for an Australian study visa, the time needed can be shortened. If the submitted materials are complete, true and clear, and are consistent with the first approval of the visa officer, it is not surprising that they are approved within one week; Generally speaking, it takes one to two months from submitting a visa to completing an application.

2. Restricted by network technology.

Network technology has more or less affected the development of the electronic visa review process for studying in Australia. Whether the visa website of the Australian Immigration Bureau can log in successfully and whether the two parties can dock smoothly is directly related to whether the application can be successfully issued.

3. During the peak period, the audit speed has an impact.

The number of visa officers in the visa center is limited, and if it meets the peak period, it is likely to slow down or cause confusion.

However, students should pay attention to which types of applicants cannot use e-visa when applying for an Australian study visa. For example, guardians of underage students, students who have won international student research scholarships, etc. These students need to apply for an Australian study visa in the traditional way instead of using an electronic visa.

To sum up, there are many factors that affect the speed of studying in Australia. YJBYS: I suggest that students don't simply think that e-visas are approved quickly, so they don't care, and they delay again and again. Instead, we should leave enough time to prepare visa materials as early as possible to avoid leaving enough time to deal with emergencies when preparing and applying for visa materials for studying in Australia.
