Visa threat to college students in Australia

About 20 students from an Australian international college will meet immigration officials on Tuesday to stop the government from cancelling their visas.

Scott Bills reports the Adelaide Pacific International College - in South Australia state - offers business, aged care and automotive courses to 450 mostly Indian students.

The Federal Government suspended its registration because of discrepancies in its attendance record-keeping.

But on Monday the Administrative Appeals Tribunal lifted part of the suspension, allowing the school to continue teaching.

About 70 of the college's automotive students are at risk of having their visas cancelled because of supposedly poor attendance records.

Migration agent Mark Glazbrook says he and about 20 students will meet officials from the Immigration Department.

The college says it will fight to get the suspension lifted in total.
