Hi, I'm Venkat.
I had applied for student temporary visa (573) under SVP- assessment level 0, on 26/06/14 and have not received the approval as yet. Fellow students who had applied until about 2 weeks before me had received their visas within a week or 10 days max. However, there has been a sudden slow down in the student visa processing all over India for last 4-5 weeks.
I have already obtained an extension from the university but I'm running short of time. Any clue as to what might be causing the delay overall?
Note: I have already undertaken my medicals in May, 2014 and it has been submitted to the Australian High Commission as well. I have no dependents travelling with me. I have shown access to double the amount of funds required for the study duration.
