Student Visa (Step by step)

blue3319

Hi everyone. I just have a few questions:

1. Yung GTE ba sa portion nung application (the one with 2000 character limit), is the same as GTE Document na i-aattach sa Attachments section?
2. What are other possible attachments sa GTE part?

Salamat po

@blue3319 I wrote a short summary of what I wrote in the GTE letter and pasted it in the 2000-character limit textbox, and then attached the GTE letter after. I didn't attach anything else with the GTE letter.

hello po, sa mga nagpa medical sa st.lukes BGC, mga ilang araw po na upload yung results? last monday po kasi ako nagpa medical

blue3319

@athelene This is noted. Maraming salamat po.

blue3319

Sa mga nagpamedical po sa SLEC Ermita, how was your experience? And question, yung tests ba na gagawin ay yung nasa referral slip? In my case kasi, 501 at 502 lng yata which is chest x-ray and medical examination. Salamat po.

@blue3319 Hi blue, sa SLEC ako, pero BGC. CXR, urinalysis at Physical Exam lang ang standard. Kapag nurse/doctor ka here sa Pilipinas, required ka na mag HIV at HepB/C test. Kapag yung standard lang, 7,000 plus. kapag may HIV at Hep test, 11k.

@caramel11 Salamat po sa clarification. Last na po, how long yung process usually?

@blue, monday ako pumunta, bale, half day lang tinagal. Medyo marami pang tao nun. 1:30 PM ako nag start, natapos ako ng before 5. Mas maganda ata pumunta ng morning, mas konti ang tao. Make sure na uminom ka ng marami tubig before medical kasi baka ipa ulit ang urinalysis mo, meron akong mga kasabay na inulit, tapos yung sa Xray, pag may nakita sila, i re refer ka sa specialist. Magdala ka ng passport mo. Medyo nakipag talo pa ako nung monday dahil ayaw nila ako i allow kahit na may driver's license naman ako, at nakalagay sa website nila na pwede yun. Inallow rin lang ako nung pinakita ko na nakalagay sa website nila na valid ID ang driver's license, pero may dala rin naman kasi ako scanned copy ng passport ko, yun nga lang wala akong passport that time dahil nasa NZ embassy. Medyo matagal lang ata encoding nila ng results.

aranayad

Hello po! Question po, yung bf ko currently studying in Monash. Nagapply po ako ng student dependent visa. Nadecline po kahapon kase hindi daw solid proof na naglive in kame. We provided joint account statement and our domestic partnership certificate, pics, convo, plane tickets, fb post, stat dec from friends. Kaso wala po kameng lease of contract. Hay! Need daw po nun. How soon po pwede mag reapply from the time sinend yung refussal letter ng immigration?

Check mo yung requirements ng schools pero I believe 73 is a passing score.

Hello! Question lang, saan po pala pupunta dapat for biometrics? Thank you.

Hi all, question.

I applied online last night for MnM Institute and received a Letter of Offer today. Kailangan ko lang gumawa ng 90-second video explaining why I want to study there and how they can help me. I didn't pass a GTE or SOP during the application. Ok lang ba to? Or sa visa application na yun papasok?

MLBS

@catofallseasons may isa pang SOP na essay style dun sa mismong immi. Meron din kanya kanyang gte requirements ang school. Sa inapplyan ko they gave me a gte form, sa kakilala ko naman may interview sya. So depende sa school yan.

So helpful! Thanks! Pinag-iisipan ko pa 'tong school na 'to kasi gusto ko rin ng ECE na course so nag-consult ako sa isang agency.

Raeji

@catofallseasons null thank you. They said it's fine but it's still low for AHPRA.

nickoryanfang

okay lng ba kahit certificate course ang kuhanen kaht hnd bachelors degree? mkaka hanap p din ba ako ng work non after ko matpos ung certification course

nickoryanfang

@aranayad ano meaning nung unconditional offer - no ielts?
walang ielts na requirements?

aranayad

@nickoryanfang No unconditional offer letter kasi i haven't taken my ielts.

MLBS

@nickoryanfang paghahanap ng work is highly subjective sa swerte kung may mag ssponsor na employer sayo o wala. In my case, yung bachelors ko sa pilipinas is already on the mltssl, so I'm going to study simply for the points itself kaya murang diploma course lang hinanap ko. If PR is your goal make sure na may way ka to get a positive assessment in sa skilled occupation lists

Hi everyone! Sharing my experience with all of you, since this forum has also helped me a lot.

Timeline:
Feb 2018- Took IELTS Exam
July 2018- Applied for a PhD at Macquarie University
(Entire July, I have been in constant communication with the Uni since they requested for additional documents such as my Masters Thesis, etc.)

August 15- Received my unconditional offer letter from Macquarie (3-yr PhD)

I was unsure yet if I would push through, so I maxed out the deadline given by the Uni.

November 27- Confirmed my enrollment (returned the Acceptance pack and paid 1 sem tuition plus OHSC)

November 29- Macquarie issued a COE for Visa Application

December 10- Medical at SLEC Ermita

December 13- Medical results uploaded, no further action required

December 15- Lodged my visa application

December 17- Visa granted. (mainit init pa)

I didn't expect it to be this fast since, December na ako nag lodge and peak season ito usually, plus ang tagal ng global processing times for Postgraduate Research Sector. And my supervisor expected me to be there by March pa, since he also told me na baka matagalan yung application.

My entire application, from applying to the Uni, medical to lodging my visa is DIY. Kaya kabado rin ako kasi I just did everything by myself, and just asked some forumers here for some clarifications.

Hello po, ask lang po if pwede ba mag full time work ang student dependent during school breaks? Hindi po masteral or Phd ang kinukuha ng primary holder. thanks!

aranayad

@mrsespejo pwede po pati po yung main applicant allowed to work full time during school breaks.

athelene

@mrsespejo vocational po ba ang inaaral? or bachelor's degree? As far as I know, the student can work unlimited hours during recognized school breaks, but the dependent can't (meaning they're still limited by the 40-hours per fortnight). Of course, DHA has the final say on what the dependent's visa conditions will be (if they are allowed to work the 40-hours/fortnight or not).

mrsespejo

@athelene hi mam, thanks for answering. oo nga po, I called na po DHA to confirm, hindi daw po entitled and dependent sa full time during school breaks ng primary holder.

mrsespejo

@aranayad hi mam thanks sa reply. I called DHA to confirm, hindi daw po pwede kasi ang condition ng primary holder 8105 sa dependent 8104. Primary holder lang daw po pwede mag full time during school breaks.
