Study visa common refusal reasons and solutions
It is widely reported that the student visa rejection rate is very high recently. Let's take a look at the various reasons for the rejection of student visa applications in Australia. The reasons for the rejection may be a combination of personal circumstances, insufficient visa application materials or non-compliance with visa requirements, and changes in Australian visa policies.
Common reasons for Chinese student visa rejection:
1. Failure to meet student visa requirements: The applicant may fail to meet, or fail to demonstrate, the basic requirements for a student visa, such as language requirements, financial ability, health requirements, etc. The student visa system classifies Australian education institutions and countries into different risk levels, with different English and financial requirements.
2. Untrue application information or information: Intentionally or unintentionally, false information or information in visa application information is a common reason for visa denial. Applicants who are denied a visa for this reason may also face more serious consequences, such as a three-year ban from applying for any Australian visa.
3. Insufficient funds to study abroad: Student visas require applicants to be able to cover tuition and living expenses. If there is insufficient proof of funds, or if the Department of Immigration suspects that the applicant cannot afford to live in Australia, the visa may be refused.
4. Unreasonable career planning: Adult student visa applicants should give a reasonable explanation of the courses they have learned in Australia in combination with their educational background and work experience, and make it clear how studying in Australia will help them realize their career planning. Especially for "backward reading", applicants who have no professional job or no job, simply expressing "liking" the course or occupation is far from enough.
5. Unfamiliar with the courses and schools: applicants are not familiar with the content of their courses, the length of time, the jobs they can do after graduation, the geographical location and scale of the school, etc., will result in visa rejection. Many of these rejections happen after the telephone investigation of the visa.
6. From high-risk areas: high-risk areas are determined by the proportion of international students who do not complete the scheduled courses after obtaining a student visa, or jump off the ship using a student visa. Visa applications from high-risk areas will be processed more rigorously, the rejection rate will be higher, and visa applicants from high-risk areas will be more likely to be innocent.
7. Health problems: Applicants may be denied a visa if they have serious health problems. Some health problems may require additional, more specialized medical examination.
8. Criminal record: Applicants with a criminal record may be denied a visa. With the exception of students studying in health, medical and education courses, most international students are not required to provide a clean criminal record, but the Australian Immigration Department will check the background of visa applicants or require applicants to provide.
9. Changes in visa laws or policies: Australia's visa laws, policies and regulations are constantly changing, including the process and requirements for visa applications. If the applicant does not comply with the latest standard procedures or requirements during the application process, the visa may also be denied.
10. Incomplete or insufficient application: Some of the information in the visa application is required at the time of visa application. If the applicant does not provide the required documents or complete the application form completely, the visa application may be invalid or rejected. As with Section 9, this happens most often with DIY student visa applications.

The basic format of the complaint letter should be: after a short opening statement, lay out the reasons why the visa officer refused the visa, and then refute them point by point. Note that the power of rebuttal does not come from rude reproach, but from the power of logic and argument.
3. Supplement visa documents
