Australia Visa Refused after Refusal!
**Hello everyone,**
Thank you to everyone who supported and guided me throughout this journey.
I wanted to share my experience because this was my first time applying to study abroad, and I am the first person in my family to pursue an international degree. Along the way, I faced setbacks due to a lack of knowledge, limited guidance, and at times, relying too heavily on others( **Agent IDP** Ayushi Vijay ) instead of understanding the process myself.
I'm not an expert, nor do I have all the answers. But if my experience can help even one person avoid the mistakes I made, then sharing it is worthwhile.
If anyone needs guidance or simply wants to understand the process better, I'll be happy to help in whatever way I can.
