Almost one in five prospective PhD students is still waiting after lodging a visa application at least a year ago, the Department of Home Affairs (DHA) has indicated, even though it says nine in 10 PhD visas are “finalised” within four months. timeshighereducation.com/news/immense-d…

Time frame for processing 90% of PhD students' visa applications morphs from 9 months last August to 12 months by January to 17 months by June, then 4 months in July. Figure excludes applications left unprocessed due to security checks that can take years. timeshighereducation.com/news/immense-d…

@ICOIA_Official @ClareONeilMP @andrewjgiles It is not fair to wait for a temporary student visa for more than a year! Pls accelerate visa processing time! @MehreenFaruqi @NickMcKim @dfat @andrewjgiles @ClareONeilMP @abcnews @GroupOfEight

@mark_blaskovich Thanks for your support. I have been waiting for my student visa since Dec 2021. Still there is no update or clarification about a time frame to finalize the process. Please take a real action to put an end to this limbo. @ClareONeilMP @SenatorWong @dfat @ausgov @JasonClareMP

@Genevieve132 @timeshighered Put yourself in our position, could you withstand? Why Australia’s universities accepts us while their government don’t want us. I rejected Canada’s offer to com Australia, and this is my fault. @ausgov @AlboMP @andrewjgiles @ClareONeilMP @SenatorWong @dfat

@Genevieve132 @timeshighered Thank you for your kindness. I can’t tell how much I’m sad, I’m deeply sad😞 I tried hard to get and keep this position in USYD and now I have to suspend my enrollment after 1 year. 😓 @ausgov @AlboMP @andrewjgiles @ClareONeilMP @SenatorWong @dfat

Hopes that hundreds of new processing staff were finally clearing a backlog of PhD visa applications, some going back 3+ years, now appear premature with visa determinations returning to a trickle. timeshighereducation.com/news/waiting-g…

Justice waits for no one. ICOIA calls on @ausgov to swiftly process visas for accomplished Iranian PhDs. Their limbo is our concern. As a global voice for academic freedom, we're ready to assist Australia in welcoming qualified minds. The future of research hangs in the balance.

I hope @ausgov @ClareONeilMP @andrewjgiles will prioritise processing the visas of this growing cohort- either accept them or reject them, but don't leave them in protracted, unending limbo. Such a situation is cruel for these students, and is also not in our national interest.
