ozdreamer0323 · July 2014

up ko lang po ulit.....

hi @all anybody who recently lodged their application via VFS na nagwalkin lang? Or is it required na magpa appointment??

markier87 · July 2014

@ozdreamer0323 Lodged mine in VFS Cebu na walk-in lang. Visa fee in manager's cheque but the other fees should be paid in cash. Not sure though if the same sa VFS Makati.

Hi all!

Currently in KL awaiting my flight to Perth. Ask ko lang if you had any problems in arriving to Australia when you brought your gadgets? I have my laptop and scanner/printer with me. All are used for more than a year.

Also, baka may alam pa kayong magpapatuloy ng housemates (me and my partner) sa Perth, preferably near Curtin University.? PaPM naman po. Please?

Thanks! God bless to us all!

Haaay....nakakaiyak pala maghintay! Referred medical ung sa daughter namin. Sana makahabol pa rin kami! Kung kulitin ko ba ung CO, posibleng mapabilis ang sagot nila?
Thanks

@danyan2001us thats one way of looking at it. But Kuya dan, do you know someone who took the 572 route? They claim that you can do the bridging course for nurses while on vocational study. I dont know if its true or not, but maybe, if someone can give a first hand opinion, it would really clear things up..

danyan2001us · July 2014

@Newleaf2014 ...no.....if kukulitin mo ang Co baka mas lalong matagalan kayo....and besides the CO has nothing to do with your medicals.......as per experience, you can't expedite your visa application since these COs have their own priorities also....

danyan2001us · July 2014

@markier87 ......happy trip bro.....just be sure walang laman na mga x rated na materials ang laptop mo hehe...baka magaya ka nong isang pinoy na pinauwi dahil nahuli na maraming x yong laptop nya hehe.....kaya be sure to double check yong laman ng laptop mo.......though i believe they do the checking randomly naman......

danyan2001us · July 2014

@santosjed21 ...honestly i haven't heard of someone taking that route but i think that would be possible as long as you have a positive assessment with APHRA and they will recommend you to the BP then you can take that as a follow up route after 572.....my wife started with 572 then now she's finishing her 573 masters course ( though she is into a different path - accountant).....why would you not choose that path? though if you consider that one then that would mean more gastos from you.....may dependent ka ba? if may dependent ka then you can have someone to assist you financially here.....

markier87 · July 2014

@danyan2001us hehehe okay kuya dan, salamat sa tips. Check ko na lang baka may hindi na delete. Joke! Basta kuya dan, parefer po kami sa mga kakilala nyo dito for any kind of jobs po. Full -time for my partner and part-time po sa akin. Salamat po.

danyan2001us · July 2014

@markier87 .....cool....i'll do that...we'll make use of our contacts....anyway nasaan na kayo ngayon? already in perth? yong close ko na friend nasa perth kaya lang nasa field siya medyo malayo pa sa perth mismo.....ano ba background/field mo?

markier87 · July 2014

nasa Kuala Lumpur pa kami now, mamaya pa mga 9:30am ang flight to Perth. ngaarrange pa nga ako ng short stay accommmodation online. Sana may maarrange on time

My field is Chemistry (Licensed Chemist sa Pinas) and my partner has NCII on Housekeeping and various job experiences sa food chains and malls.

danyan2001us · July 2014

@markier87 ....happy trip bro...and welcome to OZ...pareho ang perth at pinas when it comes to time so advanced kayo ng 2 hours sa amin dito sa melbourne....

lilsaint · July 2014

hi everyone, congratulations po pala sa mga visa granted

anyway, Im reapplying for Subclass 572 with de facto partner. Supposedly for July kami but unfortunately our application was denied because of our evidence of funds (we had a back to back loan). Now, we are re-lodging our papers around Aug 1-3, my dad will be our sponsor and hindi na kami ng loan.

Is there any chances na they will change the required amount for the evidence of funds from our 1st application? (mag increase ba or mg decrease?) Any advice po from anyone? especially yung sa mga nag relodge din?

Godbless po sa lahat ng applicants!
To God be the Glory

dreamprayhard84 · July 2014

@lilsaint same lang po ng show money pag mag relodge kayo, at kung may new sponsor kayo be sure lang po na may valid docs ang dad nyo like kung working pa siya need nyo ng itr at certificate of employment with salary range kung business need nyo naman magpasa ng business permit kasi mag base ang CO sa pera sa bank versus sa docs ng sponsor nyo na sinubmit nyo at be sure lang dn na 3months old na sa bank ang pera ng sponsor nyo,., god bless po and good luck satn lahat.

lilsaint · July 2014

@dreamprayhard84 okay po. thank you very much. Godbless to us po.

danyan2001us · July 2014

@lilsaint ....good luck at tama yong mga sinasabi ni @dreamprayhard84....at saka maybe this time around you will have a new CO....dahil marami naman yan sila na mga CO sa atin....

santosjed21 · July 2014

@danyan2001us Exactly. It is more expensive.However,the agency claims that you can live off by working 20hrs a week and pay your tuition fees at the same time. Regarding the Visa, By going the 572 route, you will have to change visa to apply for the bridge. Thus, shortening your stay in Oz as 575 gives you just enough time to finish the program. Also, this negates the agency's claim that 572 buys time in Oz. This dilemma is applicable only to the nurses though..

danyan2001us · July 2014

@santosjed21 ....yes since BP is a 3-month duration course...whereas with the 572 visa that will allow you to stay more or less for two years then after the course, you can proceed to 573 or look for another 572 program (actually some of our friends are doing that here just to be able to stay for a longer time in melbourne with the hope that they can find a sponsor later on)

santosjed21 · August 2014

@danyan2001us When reapplying for a student visa in Australia, does the DIAC assess you as a level 3 applicant? 3 months processing, show money etc.. Does this mean that you need to process the application 3 months before the end of your visa?

danyan2001us · August 2014

@santosjed21 ...bro napakadali nong maglodge kami ng application dito sa melbourne....it took us only a week bago dumating yong visa namin....at hindi sila strikto dahil nga svp ang school ni mrs and we have been here since 2010....you can send your application before your substantive visa will expire....at pagreceive mo ng communication from DIBP through email they will state it there that you will be on bridging visa A halimbawa di pa dumating yong new visa mo

cody · August 2014

Question po regarding medical for student visa.. Hep b po ba can affect application for student visa?
Waiting for replies po slamt..

danyan2001us · August 2014

@cody ..i won't say either yes or no bro since i am not an authority on that...at times depende yan sa CO nyo however I would add na how's the hepa b of the person concerned? is it a chronic Hep B---? if it will not be affecting the liver when the time that person will undergo the medical exams then most probably he/she would be fine. However if presently the Hepa B is affecting the liver thus requiring for further medication then that would might be a negative factor.....at the end bro/sis everything lies on the hands of the CO who will handle your papers......good luck anyway

cody · August 2014

@danyan2001us thanx so much for the reply.

danyan2001us · August 2014

@cody ...you're welcome....welcome to the forum in behalf of aolee our admin and from all of us.....

Newleaf2014 · August 2014

Matagal ba talaga mag reply ang immig sa follow ups? Is there any way that we can check online kung ano na ang status? Share with me, please, any tips on how to get a status check on our application. Mga 2x na kami nag follow up in the past two weeks, no reaction pa rin si immig.

lockhart · August 2014

Hello all! Thank you po sa sumagot sa mga tanong ko. I just read about GTE the other day. Lahat ba nag daan sa interview or case to case basis po yun?

And follow up question regarding source of funds. So as I have mentioned, the money on my account was transferred from my parents' account. Will I still be required to submit evidences on how they were able to come up with the money? We used to have a business but we stopped operating 2 years ago. The money we have mostly are savings from the previous business and special bank deposits that have grown from interests. As of today, my parents are both retired so they will not be able to come up with ITRs and payslips.

Maraming salamat ulit!

cody · August 2014
