VISA FRAUD - Australian Universities BAN Indian Students - Telugu Students in Trouble
The development occurs at the same time as visiting prime minister Narendra Modi mentioned more "Australian and indian students living and studying in each other's countries, and bringing those experiences home". Additionally, the two countries inked a collaboration agreement on migration and mobility today to encourage the exchange of students, graduates, researchers, and businesspeople.
The Federation institution's letter to agents stated that "the university has observed a significant increase in the proportion of visa applications being refused from some indian regions by the Department of home Affairs." "We hoped this would prove to be a short-term issue (but) it is now clear there is a trend emerging," the letter, which was printed in The Herald, said.
In response to an increase in fraudulent applications seeking to work rather than study in Australia, several Australian universities, including victoria University, Edith Cowan university, Torrens university, and Southern Cross university, imposed a ban or restriction on students from some indian states last month.
Western Sydney university informed agents in a message on May 8 that "a large number of indian students who began study in 2022 intakes have not remained enrolled, resulting in a significantly high attrition rate."
