DESPERATE FOR ANSWERS-WORKING HOLIDAY/STUDENT VISA SWITCH

Post by katimillie » Thu Feb 21, 2008 10:29 pm

Hello: I have been desperately searching the internet for the answer to the following question and would GREATLY appreciate any information anyone can provide!

My boyfriend is Australian and I currently live in New York City. I am planning to move to Australia in July 08 on the WHV (Working Holiday Visa). While there, I plan to work and apply to Australian law school for entrance in March of 2009. So basically, I would like to use the WHV Visa from July to February and then, pending acceptance to Australian law school, switch to a student Visa. My questions are:

1) Can I do this?
2) Can I do this WITHOUT having to leave Australia in between (some places say you must apply for your student Visa from outside Australia)?
3) Does anyone know how long it takes to get approval for the WHV?

Answers of information on any or all of the aforementioned questions would be BIG help! Have a great day!
