Does Anyone here has idea how long a COA can be received from IHNA after paying AUD1,500 enrollment fee?It's been around 2 weeks since I paid.I hope someone can reply.Thank you.

Hi, don't expect COA to be sent so early. You may receive it just few weeks prior to the course commencement date and yes do not worry about that too because Offer letter is enough for application of visa. However, you can always call IHNA to make sure that you are confirmed for the desired intake

for those who had their immunizations for ihna, are they strict about the lot #, brand name, etc? and is the PPD really required? has a postive result ever been a cause for delay? thanks!

From my experience I don't think they are strict about the brand names, etc until and unless you have genuine immunization report. For TB you can either do the Mantoux test or Quantiferon test. Its better to do quantiferon test if its available in your place and there are higher chances of having a positive result in PPD. Or if you have positive PPD result though you do not have TB just take some supporting results as chest X-ray to prove that you do not have TB. I had to spend another AUD 45 just because my doctor mentioned the PPD result as positive though the reading should have been negative

I hope this answers your question.

Hello Jems,did you follow up yours?I emailed them and they replied will send it but until now I didn't receive it

me too, i paid last nov 15 and until now i havent received yet the COA too..

[moonyen2012]

Hi Seph,I'm not quite sure about the offer letter.Anyway I will try to follow up with IHNA.Did you sign for the accommodation declaration?

have you called them yet? I have read in the previous discussions that you dont need the CoA to apply for a visa, bacause the offer letter will suffice. you should call IHNA to clarify this.
