Hi all
Urgent
Please anyone help me
I had applied for SOWP on Sep 11 along with my wife (student) visa. We both had applied together.My spouse got her student visa in Sep'17 itself. and mine SOWP was refused yesterday.Exactly two months, 8 weeks.
It was Paper based - Banglore VFS.
REASON FOR REFUSAL: No confirmation from the college regarding spouse enrollment study permit status or spouse active permit status.
Need advise how to go about it. Can somebody help me in this regard. As my wife has to board the flight by Dec'17 for Jan intake. But she can't go without me.

Hi guys,

How do you suffer with the waiting time of SOWP?

Nowadays I’m so nervous and upset, nothing makes me happy...

Hi everyone.

I have a question about the spouse open work permit based on PGWP. Is there any restriction on the duration of the PGWP holder's job?

I am working as a full time contractor in a NOS A job, yet the contract is for 3 months only (can be extended). Given that, does anyone know if I can apply for an open work permit for my spouse now or I should wait until my contract is extended or offered a permanent job?

Thanks in advance.
