Hey everyone,

I applied for my student visa (subclass 500) for Master of Computing (Artificial Intelligence) at Curtin on 25th June 2026. My course starts on 20th July 2026 (Semester 2, 2026), so I'm keeping a close eye on processing times. I'm an Indian applicant and wanted to check in with others going through the same process.

A few questions for the community:

• Has anyone applied for the same course recently? How long did it take for your visa to get granted?
• Are there any noticeable trends in processing times for Indian students applying in June 2026?
• With such a tight timeline before semester start, has anyone had experience with priority processing or expedited visas closer to the intake date?
• Any tips on tracking application status or what to prepare while waiting?

Would really appreciate hearing about your timelines and experiences — trying to get a sense of what to expect before my course starts. Thanks in advance! 🙏
