Student visas -India, Mauritius & Vietnam

[Glenn Pereira]

I understand from reliable sources student visa refusal for students from India, Mauritius and Vietnam is about 90 percent based on the Interview.

-The priority processing announcement is suppose to give DIAC time to clean up the on-shore mess.

-100 percent refusal for sub-class 572 visa on grounds of genuiness will send the message to Education Agents in India

-Within the next 2 months a number of Insitutes will be shut down by the Regulatory authorities displacing close to 100000 students. A number of Institutes will shut down their operations if visas are not issued to their students.

-Students will panic and get the strong message for on-shore GSM- i.e. Join quality providers

-New job ready test will be announced end Dec 09 , to commence 1st Jan 10

-On-shore PR wil be abolished and replaced by 18 months work experience with restricted work rights to enable a student work in the nominated occupation

-On compeltion of the work experience (12 out of 18 months) students will be allowed to apply for permanent on-shore GSM.

79.5 Intention to remain in Australia

An established migration pathway allows students to transition to General Skilled Migration onshore, so officers should not draw an adverse inference should an applicant express an intention to apply for skilled migration in Australia or be seeking to take a course of study for the purpose of applying for skilled migration. Therefore, not withstanding section 79.4 Incentives to remain in Australia an intention to apply for skilled migration upon completion of studies is not a reason to doubt the genuineness of a student visa applicant if the proposed course is consistent with the skilled migration program requirements.

As part of the initiatives to encourage access to Skilled Migration visas, under Regulation 2.05(5A) the "no further stay" condition 8534 is waived where the visa applicant has applied for an onshore General Skilled Migration visa.

IS THIS POLICY INCONSISTENT WITH THE MEDIA RELEASES AND WHAT IS HAPPENING IN NEW DELHI ?

1.There are over 500,000 workers under 457 in Australia
2. There are over 300,000 (??) foreign students in Australia

Say 600,000 of these apply to remain in Australia as permanent residents within a two year time frame. Can the population/immigration policy and the existing infrastucture sustain such numbers within this short time frame, repeated cyclically. Has the Cabinet got itself into a bind?

Students may well will be the first lot to be denied the eligibilty for conversion.

My mind boggles.
