Two sisters and one brother, from China



The Dream
For all three siblings to study in Australia



The Difficulties
Past experience shows siblings from China applying to study overseas increases the chance of visa rejection. To be successful, extra evidence is required to prove that the applicants are genuine students, which is often an extremely difficult task.



The Process
ACIC Shanghai has one of the highest visa success rates in China. As with all other cases, ACIC handled this application with great care and prepare each document with attention to detail. In the end, ACICs efforts and experience as well as its strong professional reputation with the embassy have turned this difficult case into a successful one.

The comment from the parents (translated from Chinese)
It has always been our dream to send our three children to study overseas, but everyone told us it was impossible to get visas for all three children. We never thought our dream could become reality until we came to ACIC Shanghai Office. We are very impressed by their high quality service and the effort they put into every individual case. We are proud and happy that our children are doing very well in Australia and are looked after by ACIC head office.
