GaltravellerGaltraveller San Pablo CityPosts: 41Member
Looking for other options. Already spoke and met up with a rep from a school in Melb. They are willing to give me an offer of place for an MBA. The prob will be once the visa is lodged. Any suggestions?

    All you need is to satisfy that your intention in Australia is to study. Can you share also the reason bakit ka na-deny? Baka pwede pa i-appeal

    Mark 11:24 Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours.

    The applicant’s claims
    The applicant claims to travel to undertake a holiday as a genuine visitor to Australia and has
    submitted relevant supporting documents supporting this claim including information relating
    to the applicant’s personal and financial circumstances in the Philippines.
    Information and evidence considered
    I am a delegated decision maker under section 65 of the Migration Act 1958 (the Act). In
    reaching my decision, I have considered the following:
    ● Relevant legislation contained in the Act and Migration Regulations 1994 (the
    Regulations)
    ● Information contained in the department's policy guidelines Procedures Advice Manual
    3;
    Findings
    From all the information available to me, including the documents and information the
    applicant provided, I find that the criteria for the grant of a Visitor (Tourist) visa are not met
    by the applicant.
    Reasons
    I have assessed the application by the applicant and the reasons for my decision are detailed
    below.
    An application for a Visitor (Tourist) visa has been made by the applicant.
    Under the migration law, a visa cannot be granted unless the applicant meets the relevant
    legal requirements that are specified in the Act and the Regulations. Clause 600.211(c) has
    not been met by the applicant on the date I made my decision.
    This provision states that:
    600.211 The applicant genuinely intends to stay temporarily in Australia for the purpose for
    which the visa is granted, having regard to:
    (a) whether the applicant has complied substantially with the conditions to which the last
    substantive visa, or any subsequent bridging visa, held by the applicant was subject; and
    (b) whether the applicant intends to comply with the conditions to which the Subclass 600
    visa would be subject; and
    (c) any other relevant matter.
    Relevant considerations in deciding whether the applicant intends a genuine visit can include,
    but are not limited to, the following:
    Personal circumstances or other conditions in the applicant’s home country, that may
    encourage the applicant to remain in Australia, including:
    - the applicant’s economic situation - including unemployment or employment that, based on
    knowledge of local employment conditions, such as salary rates, would not constitute a strong
    incentive for the applicant to leave Australia;
    - the applicant’s personal ties to Australia, that is, does the applicant have more close family
    members living in Australia than in their home country;
    - military service commitments;
    - civil disruption, including war, lawlessness or political upheaval in the applicant’s home
    country; and
    - economic disruption, including shortages, famine, or high levels of unemployment, or
    natural disasters in the applicant’s home country.
    Whilst the applicant has supplied relevant information relating to their personal circumstances
    in the Philippines, the documentation supplied by the applicant has failed to demonstrate that
    the applicant has significant ties to the Philippines that would induce them to return home
    within the validity of their visa nor would it be reasonable for them to be away from the
    commitments and responsibilities that they have demonstrated for the purposes of a holiday.
    Therefore, I give no weight to asset ownership, business ties or cultural ties as evidence that
    the applicant intends a genuine visit to Australia and cannot consider these ties as factors that
    will induce the applicant to depart Australia within the validity of their visa.

    @Galtraveller Hi Galtraveller, thank you for the reference. Are there anything that can prove na may strong ties ka sa Pinas like you have properties, car or you got kids here or family members? I won't discourage you na magtry sa student visa kasi I guess, it's every CO's way of thinking or interpreting the intentions of the applicant. Lalo na sa SOP, wala dapat loophole na I want to stay in Aussie and work. Just say, many times na my intention is just study.

    Mark 11:24 Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours.
