Step C: Student Visa Processing by EMGS
As soon as we received the complete documents for the visa processing from the students, the Visa department will process and submit all the required documents to the EMGS for the purpose of visa processing. This process will take 1 to 2 weeks to submit to EMGS after we delete ‘must’ have received all the required documents delete ‘stated’. However, the visa department will be tracking the student visa updates through e-tracking system provided by the EMGS. In the event that, the VAL is rejected, they will indicate the reason either unclear documents or lack of genuine documents, and you will be contacted to provide the required documents if applicable.
Furthermore, students are required to provide their current phone number and email address for easy communication, so as to enable the University to be in contact with the student during the admission application and visa processing. This will help to facilitate a prompt way of communication to the student for information with regards to their visa processing.
This visa processing by the EMGS takes 4 – 6 weeks as it is to verify all the required documents for the visa processing without any discrepancy. As soon as the EMGS approved, the application status will indicate 70% and then the application will proceed and will be submitted to the Immigration Department for the issuance of Visa Approval Letter (VAL). As soon as the VAL is approved by the Immigration Department, the application status will show as 100% and also specify “Ready for collection by the institute representative”. The institute representative will collect the original copies from the immigration department.
