Most SI students studying at University of Papua New Guinea, the University of Goroka and Divine Word University in Madang deferred their studies last year because they arrived late for the start of the academic year due to visa delays.
This came about after the visa processing was shifted from Honiara to Port Moresby Immigration Department following a row between PNG and Australia early last year.
This has put constraints on the National Training Unit in Honiara because it has to send the visa applications to Port Moresby for processing.
