Hi all,
Here the story,
My wife (Main applicant) applied for her Graduate Visa on the 5th Dec 2017 as her last exam date was on the 30th December 2017 .But then when we got the completion letter from the Uni , it says 7th December 2017. Now the Immi Department is refusing our application because we applied 2 days early and we need to leave.
Please can anyone advise me what I can do.
Further details of the Assessment.
On 05 December 2017, the applicant lodged an online application for a Temporary Graduate(VC-485) visa and declared the following completed course of study under Australian qualifications:
● Master of Teaching (Birth to 5 Years) completed at Western Sydney University –undertaken from 10 February 2016 to 30 November 2017
On 20 December 2017, the application was assessed by an officer of the Department. The applicant was requested to provide, amongst other documents, a Letter of Completion for all completed qualifications in Australia.
On the same day, the applicant provided a letter of completion dated 08 December 2017, for
a Master of Teaching (Birth - 5 years) obtained from Western Sydney University.
The letter of completion stated that ‘the student has satisfactorily met all course requirements as of 07 December 2017 and is eligible to graduate’.
As there were other dates noted on the letter, an officer of the department contacted the Assessment and Graduation Unit of the University of Western Sydney to confirm the actual date that the applicant completed her course.
An officer from the Graduations Student Administration confirmed that the applicant completed her Master of Teaching course on 07 December 2017. This confirmed that the course was completed after the application was made.
Therefore, the applicant’s Master of Teaching qualification cannot be used to satisfy the study requirement for this visa.
The applicant did not provide additional documentation indicating they held another eligible qualification.
Based on the evidence provided by the applicant, I am not satisfied the Master of Teaching qualification meets Regulation 485.231(3) as the coursework was not completed in the last 6months ending immediately before the day the application was made.
Therefore, I find that the applicant is unable to meet the requirements for subclause
485.231(3) of the Regulations.
