Seeking Guidance
Hello everyone,
I find myself in a bit of a dilemma regarding my Australian migration journey.
My student visa is set to expire on March 15, 2025, and I’m currently awaiting my Post-Study Work Visa (PSA) certificate.
In the “attach documents” section of my Temporary Graduate visa (subclass 485) application, I’m required to submit a copy of my PSA certificate.
Should I go ahead and submit my 485 application without the PSA and include an explanation letter later, or would it be better to wait until I receive my PSA to complete the application?
Your insights and advice on this matter would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Hi Aarav, and welcome to Oz Visa Forum! 😊
I suggest you lodge your Temporary Graduate visa (subclass 485) application before your student visa expires to ensure you remain on a Bridging Visa A (BVA) while waiting for a decision.
If your Post-Study Work (PSA) certificate is not available at the time of application, you can submit your application without it and attach a statement explaining the delay. The Department of Home Affairs may issue a Request for Further Information later, giving you additional time to provide the PSA.
However, if you expect to receive your PSA before March 15, it may be worth waiting to submit a complete application, as this reduces the risk of delays.
I recommend checking your ImmiAccount regularly for updates and ensuring you have attached all other required documents.
I hope this helps! Feel free to let me know if you have any other questions and best of luck with your application!
All the best
Mark
