However, many of them couldn’t get their student visa because of the lack of vigilance and submission of required documents to the Department of Home Affairs. As per the statistics of last year, around 28000 worldwide students were refused a visa because they failed to maintain compliance with the required criteria. All Australian visas require processing and verification of documents. Delays do not occur from the department’s side. However, they need time to ensure the genuineness of the information you upload. There are other formalities such as health stipulations, procuring character certificates, and providing biometrics information, and so on.

In spite of these formalities, the department approves 75% of the Visa 476 applications within seven months (if you are lucky enough to apply. The Australia 476 visa processing time for almost 90% of the applications is nine months.
