Sorry for this, I had posted this message on another thread but I'm quite desperate and anxious...
I really need advice.. my intake is supposed to be on Feb 2015 for a VET course in melbourne but I decided to lodge last July30, 2014... last week, after completing medical and submitting the additional documents, my CO called me suggesting I withdraw my application otherwise they'll decline it. As for the reason mentioned to me, it was because I didn't meet the year 11 requirement, since I only had 7 months of studying Chinese language in Taiwan. I had asked if it was possible to take a 5 months cert course from tesda to add it all but she said "No.. kailangan talaga na 1 year straight in one course and one education provider" now, my question... if I upgrade my visa application to SVP since I got an offer letter from University of Canberra which is a pathway partner of the VET school I applied in.... will this issue still arise? Ang hnd ko lang kc mainitindihan, bakit kailangan year 11 for visa application especially when the VET course only requires year 10 holder. Medyo unfair lang ng feeling...
Another question, if I withdraw the application will I be able to get the refund from the school (the downpayment), or if I appeal how long is the duration for someone to make an appeal and what would my chances be?
