Student Visa (Step by step)

iheartoz

@bbgirl i believe nasa immigration site ang info on how you can make an appeal.

Not all decisions are 'reviewable decisions' daw. Based sa decision sa akin parang ang naiisip ko na lang is to seek advice from IDP/immigration lawyer. I still hope I can appeal though. Naiyak ko na ang result ng visa application ko. Nakakaiyak yung effort ng in-laws ko to make me feel better. Hay, mas lalo ang hirap huminga given they wanted to support and nasayang ko ang pera nila.

@bbgirl Yun yung sinabi nila sayo sis? Ang unfair naman nun. Sige sis ask ka ng advice from IDP para at least you can get a professional feedback kung ano usually ang cases ng mga SVP na refused ang visa.

I feel for you masakit talaga what happened pero look at the brighter side of things nalang, at least you have several months pa to come up with the best plan of action in your situation. And be grateful for your in-laws, for everything they've done for you. Kasi di naman lahat may mga ganyan kababait na in-laws hehe. 🙂

<blockquote rel="bbgirl">@iheartoz @ten2six akala ko rin eh. hay sobra parang rollercoaster ang emotions ko. sabi pa ni kuya sa Air21, "maam positive na yan!" pagbukas ko refusal letter.

Hay! Di ko pa din matanggap. Tumawag na ako sa IDP. Naka schedule na ako sa Friday I will seek visa assistance application. Sana may hope pa. 🙁</blockquote>we will include you in our prayers......

@bbgirl Hello bbgirl, sorry to hear the refusal of your visa. Gusto ko lang sana mag-ask, direct application ka ba or may agent ka? I'm not familiar kasi with "VIA"..

Anyway, believe that God has a reason for it. Never lose hope 🙂

bbgirl

@asdfghjklqwerty thank you. I am still hopeful I can re apply the second time and ma-grant na ako. Sana masatisfy ko na GTE and genuine student talaga ako. Direct application kasi ako sa UNI kaya nag direct apply ako sa VIA.

@danyan2001us thank you po.

@ellajing yes I am so grateful to have supportive inlaws. Im sure my inlaws are saddened with the outcome of my application and bilib ako sa kanila ngayon kasi tinatry pa din nila ako pasayahin. Yun ang masakit for me. I can just imagine the hard earned money that they have spent. Iniisip ko what went wrong with my interview when I told them the truth.

Good evening to all!

@bbgirl I see. Is it possible na visa processing lang sa IDP when you have your COE na? That's what I'm planning to do kasi, since may kakilala na education provider na tutulong samin sa enrolment sa school..

OT...guys share ko lang sa inyo itong speech kanina ni Christopher Pyne sa local TV dito sa Melbourne, siya yong present Minister of Education dito sa OZ....maganda ang pinahayag nyang suporta ng present OZ government sa mga international students at may mga iconsider sila na mga recommendations like i extend din ang Post Study Visa (PSV) sa mga nasa Tafe (vocational courses 572 visa). Gusto nila na irevive ang malaking income nila from international students....malaki kasi ang nadecrease sa panahon ng Labor government...hope it will encourage more Pinoy students to come to OZ....below ay ang link ng speeck ni Pyne

@bbgirl Thank you for the info 🙂 God bless you bbgirl and to all of us here..

@asdfghjklqwerty thanks!

Hi all before I sleep, nabasa ko na yung documents lahat lahat and na absorb ko na.

2 reasons why CO does not believe I am a genuine student:

Because I studied for 6 years in college (I explained her I got pregnant and was a working student), she is not convinced that I will not complete my course of study
I am also not satisfied that this course in IT will have a significant benefit to her future.

O well, hindi na lungkot pero masama na loob ko after reading it. The CO is just doing her job. Nagkamali lang siya talaga ng judgement niya. What can I do? Itutulog ko na lang ito.

Sad. 🙁

Sorry @bbgirl for the visa refusal. 🙁

I found a directive re: GTE assessment for visa officers sa DIAC website. http://www.immi.gov.au/gateways/agents/pdf/direction-53-assessing-gte.pdf Baka makatulong for anyone.

malaking tulong yang na research mo....at times may factor din yong CO na mag take charge sa application though no one could pick his/her own CO.....hopefully yong speech ni Pyne kahapon (minister of education in OZ) na OZ is welcoming more international students sana ay magiging way na ang processing ng mga student visa lalo na sa svp ay magiging madali at mabilis.....hopefully...

hi bbgirl!

Share ko lang experience ko.

Visa 572 ako. Nandito na ko sa Sydney.

I studied finished 2 courses in the Philippines. Graduated early 2000 with a Liberal Arts degree. Then worked; then studied again sa ibang school naman. I studied a Business course nung mga mid-2000s, before I left for AU (under a different Visa subclass). Sandali lang ako sa sa Sydney dati, bumalik din ako Pinas. I worked for a year sa call center, then went back to school kasi may 1 year pa ko sa new course ko. Salamat sa Diyos at naka-graduate ako last 2010. Early this year, I decided I want to go back to AU.

Meron akong immigration lawyer . Buti na lang at maswerte ako at di ako na-interview.

Sabi saken nung immi lawyer, mahirap talaga makalusot sa interview. Kailangan kasi i-prove mo na babalik ka sa Philippines, at ang "true" intentions mo sa AU ay mag-aral.

Advice ko lang, try to consult an immigration lawyer, malay mo mas matulungan ka.

Good luck and God bless!

hi.....agree ako kay toeberries na it could be of help to you to consult an immigration lawyer...though it would mean additional expense on your part yet sa opinion ko lang naumpisahan mo na ang journey mo for your fulfillment of your OZ dream ...siguro if you are willing to invest more then go and seek professional help from an immigration expert...these experts may differ in fees yet at the end of it, ang impact ng move na ito sa iyo which will count the most....IMHO...

Sobrang weird na ng DIAC especially after 2011. -___- You have to prove you're coming back to the Philippines pero may pathways for the Post-Study Work Visa. Noong nagre-research ako nung undergrad ako (09-10), wala pang GTE et al na 'yan. Mas lalo tuloy nakapanghihina ng loob dahil 'yung proposed study ko, totally unrelated sa highest qualification ko rito. Then if bumalik ako, wala namang enough work for nurses, what more kung foreign-trained pa. Bagsak agad sa GTE. GTE gave so much power to visa officers and we're under their mercy. sigh Might as well look for opportunities in NZ then...

Then again, 'yung document na nakita ko may something na nagbigay ng kahit kaunting hope, "Decision makers should allow for reasonable changes to career or study pathways."

You can the use document in answering the student visa form. Nakalagay riyan ang hinahanap ng mga VO.
