Australia High-Commission On Alert
Australia high-commission has become aware of fraudulent student visa applications submitted via agents from regions of India. Home
Mr Phil Honeywood, The CEO of the International Education Association Of Australia has told in his interview that Australia’s Department of Home Affairs has recently been concerned about applications involving fraudulent documents originating from certain states in India.
One Indian agent told in his interview with news channel that the DHA detected approximately 600 fraud cases from the Haryana and Punjab regions of India that had been submitted via local agents.
Their response has been to cast a more forensic lens over all Indian student applications specially if they are from Haryana and Punjab and this has certainly created delays in the processing time being taken to process student visas out of that key market,” Honeywood said.
