i've tried searching through the many visa threads, but just like everyone my situation's a little unique.

Good news is i've found a job, and correspondingly a company to sponsor my work visa.

bad news, and the company wasn't sure, is that I don't OFFICIALLY graduate from university until october. I've finished all of my courses but my U's convocation is not until october.

what documents could i submit for the visa application? will this hinder my chances for approval?

thanks in advance for your advice..

Have you got anything like a letter to confirm that you've completed the course and anything like what your predicated grade will be?

well i can get a letter saying that i'll be completing the course by the end of august and graduating in nov.

or

i can wait, get a letter saying that i've completed the coursework, and will be graduating in aug.

damn. and to think i just opted out of graduating in may to do an optional honours essay..

Hi, just submit anything you got from your University so far (transcripts, certs, etc). Also, if you have any working experience (even internships, summer jobs) related to your new job get reference letters and submit them as well. I used that approach several years ago and got my working visa 6 months before I graduated.

Transcripts from your registrar office indicating that you've completed all the requirements should be sufficient.
