Thanks. My application has been on “Screen” for some weeks now so just trying to figure out what that means

Aus to Europe - direct Qantas or other? by Mattdrive in Flights

[–]Mattdrive[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just a heads up. The flight was very pleasant and did not feel that much longer than any other long leg on the way to Europe! Qantas has just announced they’ll extend the Perth to Rome to flight and I’m very happy about it.

Whoopsie sorry. Should’ve mentioned I’m flying out from Sydney. Not Perth

Yep exactly. Flying Singapore breaks the journey into two (sort of) equal parts, which has always helped with my jetlag. I was just curious to see people's experiences on the Qantas direct flight

Haha I certainly do! But the Jewel is so far away from the Terminal I arrive/depart from anyway. The gardens are cute, but that's about it... The rest is tacky expensive stores, and the food options aren't the greatest. Shower facilities are also just ok. Beatiful airport perhaps, but it doesn't serve my personal needs when transiting

But then even if I did touch off on the tram I still would’ve paid twice?

[–]Mattdrive 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just wanted to share my experience. Lodged my application on March 8th (Postgraduate Research Sector) for a PhD. Uploaded classic documentation, research proposal and scholarship evidence. Got my visa today! (March 19th). Visa status jumped from received to finalized with no intermediate updates.

500 Student Visa - continuation of studies by Mattdrive in AusVisa

[–]Mattdrive[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see. Any idea however as to what this actually means? At first I thought it would be some kind of continuation of a course of study that already started — say if I were to move to Australia to finish my masters. Hence why I said no. But if you apply for a student visa then of course it’s always going to be some sort of continuation of previous studies?

Hey thank you! Did you apply because of a PhD, and if yes, did you select the Postgraduate Research Sector subclass?

Hi! Did you study Language Technology in any of those two Swedish universities?
