    @markier87 bro, ako lang din naglodge ng docus sa school kasi may option ka naman na online mo isend.. o thru post yung initial pero online yung follow-up. Kaso be prepared to follow-up regularly and to make international calls occasionally. Kasi sa akin, hindi narerecognize ng case officer ko yung mga documents. Hindi ko alam kung first time niya humawak ng Filipino case kaya natagalan ng sobra-sobra. Kunyari ang hinihingi registration certificate, hindi ko alam kung license card o board certificate. Isa pa, yung transcript at transcript of results. Yung former, course description, yung latter naman, transcript of records. Try mo rin pala mag IDP.

    Loving Lord!The Scripture says that You are aware of all our needs, even before we ask You. So I come to You and place this request at Your loving hands.You know how desperate I am for getting the Visa. My soul has become weary and anxious over this delay in getting the visa .O Lord! Speak in the hearts of the concerned officials, grant me favour in their eyes and help me to get my visa on time so that my purpose is fulfilled. Perfect everything for me my Master. I wait at Your feet and trust in You to make this possible. I know that You will do it for You will never let Your children down. I thank You for listening to my plea! To You alone be all honour and glory. In the sweet name of Jesus I pray.Amen.

    Pero yung school naman magbabayad sa kanila. Plus, theyll get a demerit per visa refusal kaya dapat ka nilang asikasuhin nang maayos. Yung iba bang applicants sa agency nagpapabayad ng tuition fee? Ako kasi diretso akong nagbayad sa bank account ng school.

    @maemae19 ...Hi mae...check here the qualified individuals who can stand as a possible sponsor for any applicant:
    ================================================
    The Assessment Level (AL) of the student determines how much funds need to be shown, who can provide these funds and how long these funds must be held. In order for the funds to be admissible they need to be held by an acceptable individual one who qualifies as someone whose income can provide for the visa applicant's education and living expenses.

    An acceptable individual; can be one or more of the following:

    (a) the applicant;
    (b) the applicant's spouse or de-facto partner;
    (c) a parent of the applicant;
    (d) a grandparent of the applicant;
    (e) a brother or sister of the applicant;

    (f) an uncle or aunt of the applicant who is:
    (i) an Australian citizen, an Australian permanent resident or an eligible New Zealand citizen; and
    (ii) usually resident in Australia.
