India-based Tanushree Nath applied for an Australian student visa in January 2021 and has still not received an outcome.“Even after sending multiple reminders … the status that is shown there is ‘further assessment.’ It’s [been] under further assessment [for] the past 18 months.”“Waiting is one of the hardest things in the world,” he told SBS News.

“We definitely need to be concerned that about a third of the applications on hand are more than two months old,” Senator McKim said. “This often includes requirements that all applicants undertake and meet mandatory health, character and national security checks that are undertaken by other agencies; and this can take some time."If the department’s going to say no, say no quickly, so people can make plans, get on with the rest of their lives and make alternative arrangements to study in another country.“Processing visas does take some time.

Such is life

Visa for international students, especially phD visas, deserve more attention. It is not fair for offshore visa applicants to wait more than one year and even more!

Unacceptable however LNP govt ran things down. Always wonder whether student visas are more about Selling Australian residency

While redirecting resources may be effective in new applications, the problem with cases more than 1 year old remains unresolved. We ask authorities to finalise visas submitted before and during border closure. Iranian_students AlboMP ClareONeilMP andrewjgiles JasonClareMP
