Tpos may isa p ako knconsider n course which is ASSOC. DEGREE (573) mas mbaba ang POF required and bank cert lang daw. I've read somewhere dto sa forum n pg subclass 573 pwede n wlang show money?

    @Pattycorky - yes based sa mga information ng mga students dito..

    Ask your agent about "SVP" streamlined visa processing.. This is for selected universities/courses only.

    Or you can google it para makita mo ang detailed information abt it..

    @lock_code2004. Hi po... kc ang sbi po ng agent and mom in law ko every year daw po ngbabago ang regulations ng immi jan s oz specifically every July..So maybe dti if they allow non relatives to sponsor a student..after July 2013 do they still allow it? I tried to google this topic already pero limited info lang.. And dito lang sa forum ko nkita prang halos lahat ng answers s questions ko...
    :D

    Ask ko lang po how long does it take for an applicant to get an offer letter from Canberra universities like Australian National University and University of Canberra? I got my offer letters from Sydney universities a little over 3 weeks after my agent sent the applications (lahat naman sabay sabay pinasa). Thanks in advance po sa may alam. :)

    @Pattycorky if it's not SVP, you need to show proof of funds pa rin. if you backread sa mga discussions dito, you will know na they allow non-relatives to be sponsors. as far as i know, it wasn't mentioned naman na they don't allow it anymore. pero, based sa recent trend natin dito, parang nagiging mas mahirap silang i-satisfy sa access to funds pag non-relatives. mas mabigat yung burden to prove na may access ka nga sa funds ng sponsors mo. yun lang naman ata ang problema dun.

    Hi @Newleaf2014! I see, wala pa, I still have to fulfill some conditions on my Offer Letter which I probably can by March next year. So by then, I will lodge our application. Free din ba ang Australia Bright? I'm contacting AMS but until now, still no reply from them eh.

    Hi everyone,

    I'm new here, as in I just registered few mins ago. hehehe
    I need each and everyone's expert advise. Pasenxa na kayo sa napaka-habang comment na'to, please bear with me.

    I am currently working in Singapore for 5 years now and recently got married but my husband had to go back to the Phils kase rejected na yun renewal ng employment pass nya (pahigpit na ng pahigpit dito).

    I am now very interested to migrate in AU, and I've been reading posts here and realized that applying for a student visa is the easiest way in. I am an IT graduate pero I never practiced it as a profession, actually naging "call girl" ako since gumraduate (call center agent) hehehehe... I have very few concerns that I want to raise bago sana ako sumabak sa isang malaking desisyon na gagawin ko..

    1. I've learned that there are agencies in the Phils which can help us process our visa application and I've already chosen one - FORTRUST Education Services. Has anyone heard about this agency before? Any candidate here who is now already in AU?

    2. I have already booked my IELTS exam and I am scheduled on the 25th of January (**fingers crossed**). Kung maging okay ang lahat and if ever makapili na ako ng school (which I already have), I am planning to bring my husband as my dependent. I'll be taking Bachelor of Business and I understand me and my husband can both work part-time up to 20hrs/week. Is it even feasible to sustain my study for 3years while me and my husband is just working part time? Is there anyone here who's able to do it and kasya ba ang kikitain from part-time job for the next semester's tuition fee? I really hope someone could advise me on this, it'll be a great help.


    I've more questions pa pero eto muna sa ngayon, baka hindi nyo ako sagutin pag masyado mahaba.. hehehe.. Salamat sa lahat ng sasagot sa kahit isa lang sa mga tanong ako, will really appreciate all your answers and feedback.. God bless you all! ☺️
