    @Newleaf2014 ...just be patient with their process bro/sis....mamaya lagi mong kukulitin baka magiging delay pa lalo yong applkcation mo hehe....anyway i know how you feel....been there before...ang ginawa ng agent namin before dahil nga malapit na ang pasukan ni mrs ay tinawagan yong CO namin at nag email pa pero ang advise sa amin na wala raw ini expedite sa application sa student visa........basta tinitingnan naman nila yan na if wala lang problema sa papers mo, makakalipad ka talaga at you can join your course commencement.....

    @Yanna ...that's one thing that still to be discovered though they have an office in Sydney, OZ.....kasi with IDP they don't normally ask for payments (kasi nga the institution here in OZ is giving them commission everytime may student sila na mapasok sa school)....hopefully may kasama tayo dito sa forum na nakaexperience talaga concretely with their services and is willing to share the experience....

    @lockhart bro/sis pag show money po lahat ng magiging sponsor mo or ikaw sponsor ka sa sarili mo need nyo magpasa ng valid docs kasi po mag base ang CO sa docs vs sa pera nyo sa bank, kung retired na yung parents mo at may business kayo dati dapat natabi nyo yung mga employment certificate nila with salary at business permit kahit expired na pwede nyo yan ipasa at gawing supporting documents, kasi pwede kayo gumawa ng letter na yung pera sa bank ng parents mo ay galing sa work at business at pa notary mo lang yan. Pero pagisipan mo mabuti kasi mabusisi ang CO pag dating sa mga ganyan case. God bless to all.

    @iheartyouboy Hi ms. What prompted you to take up Bachelors in Nursing again? Why didn't you enroll instead for the shorter, less expensive bridging program for nurses? Do you have family in Australia? I am also queensland bound, brisbane in particular, on a 572 Visa applicaton studying aged care courses.

    @cody Regarding Hepa B, I think that it will only affect your application if your applying for a medical course. However, it still depends on what type of hepa B the person is infected with: acute or chronic type. If the person is infected with the chronic type,regardless of the course pursued, then this is a problem since it will pose as a health threat to their citizens. But with the acute type , the person might have a chance, although, he/she might need to pass the medical exam to prove that the disease is completely cured.

    @danyan2001us How about the visa requirements? Is it still the same when lodging in the PH? Kuya Dan, I am having a hard time answering the questions in my 572 visa application, especially the essay part. My reasons might not be sufficient enough for them to grant me a visa. Although all my documents are in order, they might still suspect because of my nursing background. Can you give us tips in answering the questions? Do you have a guide for newbies in this? Thank you!!

    Hi all!

    Nasa Perth na kami ng partner ko. We are trying to settle in na. Faced some challenges along the way. Ask ko lang ano mas mabuti na phone plan for us with a student visa? or prepaid lng talaga tayo? I dont have a working phone kasi na dala. And I was hoping to get an Oz number soon.

    Salamat!

    if you have job opps for us here in Perth. PaPM naman po. kahit ano na job pwede. :)
