Dear Ms Aimee,
RE: Student Visa Application Issue.
Facts
We refer closely to the above matter on the application of student visa while still here in
Australia yet you are a Belgium citizen. We again refer to your interview with Bob Lee the
migration agent on March 17th, 2017.
We greatly confirm with confidence your instructions to offer advice to you on your alternative
of applying for student visa while still residing in Australia. It is with great honor to inform you
that your verification documents are being processed in migration office located at 135 Chase
Street, and other subsidiary offices located at 136 Chase Street Australia.
You advised us that you needed a student visa while still residing here in Australia. You dropped
also verification documents to migration office via migration agent by the name Bob Lee
enquiring on student visa verification. You also signed document suggesting you compliance
with Australian laws of the land once we have issued you with student visa. The receipts you
used to pay the levy fee and all the requirements are available in migration office. You also
indicated interest to join dual citizenship for the purpose of the same. In addition, we have seen
your interest to further your education here in Australia. Following all these information and
demand, the office of migration will provided concrete advice.
According to the student visa amendment Act of 2017, we consider your application as prima
parse valid and our advice to you is based on these important information and instructions.

LETTER OF ADVICE 3
Advice:
Dual citizenship:
For those individuals having dual-citizenship, they tend to have a greater advantages than the rest
of the individuals. The amendment Act of 2017 on student visa verification and issuance in
Australia asserts that dual-citizens need to be provided with student visa immediately upon
application unless their documents are in question.
In case you need student visa immediately, then you need to register as a dual citizen. This will
be better for you toward application of student visa. The validation of a student visa for a dual
citizen is much longer compared to other single citizens (Koser, 2007). Again, it will offer you
other chances and opportunities associated to dual-citizenship apart from faster student visa
application and issuance.
Adherence to the laws relating to issuance of student visa:
For your case, since you require the student visa while on Australia which is not a place of
citizenship, the law is very clear on the procedures to be followed. After you are awarded with
student visa, all the laws of the land in Australia must be followed to the letter. Any violation of
these laws relating to the issuance of this student visa will apply to you at all means possible.
It is important to inform to you the importance of adhering to the laws corresponding to issuance
of student visa. In case the law finds you violating these rules and regulations, the three
implications may happen. First, the student visa may become nullified hence becoming null and
void as far as documentation is concerned. Secondly, a hefty fine may be imposed on you.
Lastly, the government may decide to deport you back to Belgium whichever is earlier (Frank,
2013). Having arrived in Australia on 17th of March 2017, the law governing the issuance of
student visa will completely be in favor of you. Initially, the application, verification of applicant
documents and issuance of student visa took much time. More than two months could elapse
before an individual is granted the student visa. However, the good thing in your case is the
amendment done on the issuance of student visa. According to the document Act of Australian
government, it is a requirement by the law to provide student visa in the next two days upon the
day of application.
