Help TRV re-applying (Bryanna)

[bm12]

My TRV got refused and I need your help. I want to re-apply right after.

I am an international student in Australia on a study permit and currently enrolled in an Australian university. I have the US visa up until 2020. I traveled to UK once and to kuwait multiple times. I have never exceeded my stay. I proved that I have $16000 in the bank account and said I would take $6000 with me. My invitation letter was from my female childhood best friend.. we have met in Kuwait. I did not prove our friendship; she provided Canadian passport and her parents' consent to accommodate me but leaving the expenses on me along with their Citizenship Certificate and her employment contract. I provided an employment letter, bank statement, tax declaration as financial proofs. I also provided an explanation letter with COEs from my university. not the stamped one though (can get it). My travel history included my passport and my study permits. I uploaded a draft itinerary (touristic places without prices or dates) and a ticket (a month and a half) as my purpose of travel. I got refused because of the immigration status in country of residence and purpose of travel.

The things that I can add to my application are (Thanks to the forum and input of members here)
my sister's birth certificate along with mine, her PR, her marriage certificate, her husband and my nephew's Australian passport.
I also have slips that my mother and I applied for a family visa. My mom is the main applicant and I am the dependant one. I also have slips of payment of the necessary fees $4000 for the family visa application.
I can provide Tax returns and some invoices
I can provide the stamped confirmation of enrollment, along with my grades (never failed).
A letter from one of my professors if necessary stating that I am a good trustworthy student.
A more complete and detailed travel itinerary.
Can try to make my friend (the girl) find her old passport with stamps and visas from kuwait that match the time of my stamps in Kuwait.

Let me know ur suggestions
is there a chance of acceptance if I re-applied?
is it possible to change the duration? or add the USA in the plan?

If anyone have any other suggestions or input please help ... as I already made my plans and did not expect a refusal

Hi,

I will surely try to help you.


1. Please post a point-wise list of documents you submitted for yourself + of your host

2. 1.5 months is a very long visit. Did you plan a trip to Canada during the school break?

3. I would not expect the visa officer to go through my old passports to figure out my travel history. I would make a Travel History explanation

4. What evidence did you provide of your immigration status in Australia?

5. Was any money transferred recently to your bank account? Or is it your mom's bank account/


Cheers
