Is it possible successfully to challenge the cancellation of a student visa? 

If so, on what basis? 

Let’s take a case that was decided at the end of May, Singh v Minister for Immigration and Border Protection (2016) FCA 611 (31 May 2016) as an example. 

The gods must be crazy!!! 

Or the planets must be out of alignment!!!! 

I guess if “the Donald” can be nominated for President, anything’s possible! 

Will Public Interest Criterion 4020 always be toxic to your client’s visa application? 

If your client has submitted a bogus document to the Department in support of an application, will that document always be a “ticking time bomb” that is bound inevitably to “blow up” at some time in the future and be fatal to the application? 

What if the Department is notified by the administrator of the IELTS test that a test result has been cancelled because the test has allegedly been taken by an imposter? And what if the photograph of the person who took the IELTS test as shown on the IELTS Test Report Form does not “match” photographs of the applicant that are held by the Department? 

Agents and their clients who want to get an in-depth look at the TOEFL iBT® test can now enroll in the new massive open online course (MOOC), hosted by edX. This is a unique opportunity to prepare for the TOEFL iBT test and develop English-language skills that immigration agencies, professional bodies, universities and other institutions look for in applicants.

TOEFL Test Preparation: The Insider’s Guide, beginning on Monday, June 13, 2016, is a six-week course designed by the experts who created the TOEFL test. Each week will focus on different aspects of the test. There will be a general introduction in week one, followed by a week for each of the four skills tested — Reading, Listening, Speaking and Writing — then concluding in week six with test-day information and other helpful tips. 

The course features a mix of short lectures, including “Inside the TOEFL Test” videos for each question type and sample questions from past tests complete with answer explanations. During the Speaking and Writing weeks, the team that developed the TOEFL test will review a handful of responses and provide evaluation and feedback. You will also get to meet and share information with students from around the world through discussion boards.
