I am currently offshore and have received both a fully funded PhD offer in Australia (commencing February 2027) and an invitation to apply for a Subclass 189 visa.

I plan to lodge my 189 visa application in December but have not yet applied for a student visa. Given the uncertain processing time for my offshore 189 application and my inability to defer the PhD, would applying for a student visa later (while 189 decision is pending) create any issues?
