Student Visa (Step by step)

@Yanna ...try to check also considerations in lodging your papers like sino sa inyo dalawa ang may chance na mag aral..if ano kurso kukunin at related ba yong degree mo at experience sa atin etc...so consider first other things pertinent to the application before deciding sino ang mag aaply...tapos yong ielts pa sino ang magtake sa inyo dalawa...

Yanna · July 2014

I see. Better to check IDP first before deciding kung sino nga mag aaral. Okay, I need a lot of prayers. Hehehe. Thanks so much!

@agentKams Thanks kuya Dan. dito ko naman pinanganak iyong anak ko. ahehe. as for Brissy, we frequent kasi this place everytime nagbabakasyon kami sa Oz so iyong familiarity sa place meron kami. As for Melby, i heard good things as well. i just have to find the uni na swak sa budget namin.

minor setback..hindi tinanggap nang VFS yung papers namin kanina kasi need daw nang original passport of me and my wife, yung sinubmit kasi naman is certified true copy lang. didn't know ganun na pala ang required ngayon. Humingi din nang pasensya ang IDP sa akin kasi daw everyday meron talaga changes with regards to required docs...:( oh well, guess this will just have to be delayed for a while. yung wife ko kasi nasa singapore and it will take days pa bago dumating granted mapadala nya asap..hahay

@jie1234 Hopefully po maayos po yung minor setback niyo po. Ask ko lang po sana if nagappointment po ba kyo sa VFS or nag walk in po kayo?

jie1234 · July 2014

@ozdreamer0323

i don't know po, kasi yung IDP agent na po yung nagsubmit so most likely it must be a walk-in right? Anyway, anybody here who got the same situation as mine? Di po ba hindi naman talaga kailangan ang original passport dati? or maybe i was just uninformed of new guidelines pero sabi talaga nang IDP agent ko ok lang naman yung cert. true copy ng passport lang ang isubmit..pati siya na dismaya sa pabago-bagong directives ng VFS.

Hi im new here. Ask ko lng po. If na grant ka ng Visa subclass 572 vocational and training. Can you also do the bridging course for nurses in this visa, granting nasa oz ka na and papayag ang school na defer muna studies mo sa vocational .

dreamprayhard84 · July 2014

@jie1234 ask ko lang po ano meaning ng VFS?

danyan2001us · July 2014

@santosjed21 ...IMHO...i think you need to stick to whatever 572 program you will have here in OZ.....bridging course in nursing means another program for you...just to give you an example, check this reference for those who will apply for bridging course in nursing in NSW....

==============================================
1. Take IELTS first, all 7 on all the components
2. Read the instructions on the website--www.nmb.nsw.gov.au
basically here are the most Important things:
a. go to PRC, request for verification of registration to be sent directly to the board
b. go to your university or college, request for transcript and nursing course description to be sent directly to the board
c. go to IDP or British Council, request for a copy of your all 7 each in all components of your report grade to be sent directly to the board
d. fill up the application form-http://www.nmb.nsw.gov.au/please-proceed-RN/default.aspx
(with the application form, you need to have it notarised, and pay $105 through credit card or money order etc)

that's basically the initial requirements to be sent to the nursing board
here is the information booklet that will guide you/checklist in filing your application:
http://www.nmb.nsw.gov.au/Info-Booklet/default.aspx
===============================================

see how detailed the application could be if you want to apply for a bridging course in NSW.....on the other hand, your 572 program will required from you your full attention like attendance, marks, etc.....why don't you apply directly to the bridging course for nurses?

dreamprayhard84 · July 2014

@danyan2001us Boss. Dan tanong ko lang po ano meaning ng VFS agency po ba yan? Salamat po boss dan and god bless po.

danyan2001us · July 2014

@dreamprayhard84 ...VFS stands as a middleman between the visa applicant and the embassy......correct me if I'm wrong here.....kasi I'm not sure if that's exactly what @jie1234 meant in his post.....

danyan2001us · July 2014

@santosjed21 ..in addition to what I shared beforehand, you need to be registered in AHPRA it is the Australian equivalent to PRC ..and they will be the ones to recommend whether you can be registered as a nurse in OZ or you have to do the BP (bridging program)....and remember the IELTS needed for the bp is 7 in all bands....or take the OET as an alternative to IELTS.....

santosjed21 · July 2014

@danyan2001us I was told by the education provider that they can "give way" for the BP and then I can come back after and finish my vocational studies. I did not realize that you needed to change visas in order to be eligible for the BP. So student visas under 572 is a waste of money and time if your main goal is registration.

feelijalde · July 2014

Hello everyone!!
I'm a newbie here..I'm looking for people who can answers my questions about applying for a student visa in Australia. I really don't know how to start. I can see a lot of agencies who assist people who want to do 'study and work' in Australia. I'm a registered nurse here in the Philippines and I've decided to take shot at this. Please help

Thank you

feelijalde · July 2014

****people who can answer

dreamprayhard84 · July 2014

@feelijalde may agency ka po ba, kung wala mag back read po kayo dito may mga list ng documents na need dun at para magka idea kayo sa process ng student visa, at about naman sa course na pwede mo itake dapat related sa course na natapos mo dito sa pinas or may mga agency po na free service like idp pwede dn po kayo pumunta dun para makakuha dn kayo ng mga idea pero in your own pwede ka naman mag lodge ng sarili mo na student application basta read mo lang mga details na need at post kalang dito may mga mag share din dito ng mga idea lalo na yung nagka visa na tsaka lalo na read ka dito http://www.immi.gov.au/Study/Pages/Study.aspx good luck po and god bless to all.

danyan2001us · July 2014

@santosjed21 ....hi bro i would not say 572 visa is a waste of money since as what I shared earlier it would be upon the recommendation of the nursing body (taking your concern specifically) whether you will pursue first a diploma course in nursing or if you can be recommended to the BP in nursing......and going back to your agency, i think it's AHPRA which will recommend you to your appropriate program.....i would suggest go to AHPRA first and seek for an assessment in your case then proceed from there.....

danyan2001us · July 2014

@feelijalde ....yes i would agree to @dreamprayhard84 ...it will help you if you back read the threads here on student visa then share with us later whatever your query could be.....and we will help each other to seek for answers to them.....good luck and welcome in behalf of aolee, our admin and from all of us......basta tulungan lang tayo dito para sama sama tayo dito sa OZ......bayanihan guys.....

agentKams · July 2014

@danyan2001us kuya MPA program kukunin ko, nacheck ko FEDUni, kaya lang iyong business school nila nasa mt ballarat ata wala sa CBD.

danyan2001us · July 2014

@agentKams ....good....that's the program that my wife is enrolled in at the moment...ang campus nila ay nasa CBD melbourne lang...nasa city mismo.....

santosjed21 · July 2014

@danyan2001us thanks for answering my query. But sir, i think were not in the same page. What i meant was certain agencies here in the ph are advising on taking up "aged care courses" rather than going straight for the bridging program, which they claim is riskier. After you have been granted the visa and your in OZ studying, you then apply for the bridging program, if your eligible. This is their plan, but I dont think it's possible citing that bridge course is under another subspec "non award" visa 575, i think, while the aged care course is a 572 vocational. You will have to change visa for the bridge right? Also, they claim that this pathway is better for nurses because it "buys you time" in oz so that you can find a sponsor. How then can you buy time if you have to switch visas for the bridging course, which they only grant 3 months for it.
Care to comment on this.

danyan2001us · July 2014

@santosjed21 ..hi bro...just call me dan or kuya dan...never address me as sir hehe...anyway i think the short way to see their suggested path is for you to be able to enter OZ into the 572 pathway then when you're here, that's the time then that you will opt for BP.....some are doing that hence it's a one program after the other......meanwhile considering our reference point on BP, the BP itself is a long process thus it solicits from you a much longer preparation.....
