STUDENT VISA 2015

jonboyjonboy MandaluyongPosts: 3Member
Hi All,

I'm planning to study in Aussie this feb 2015 po. I'm a registered ECE and CCNA with 2.1 years experience in the telecom industry.

1. Ano po suitable course considering po yung budget, the lower the better hehe.
2. Malaki po ba yung chance na makahanap ng sponsor for work after ng studies sa IT/Telecom industry?
3. Ok lang ba mag VET kahit may bachelor's degree? Di ba ito questionable ng GTE?

Maraming Salamat :)

    @jonboy same tayo sa feb2015 ko din balak magaral. may tinatawag silang SOL search mo dun if may job related sa course mo.baka pwede ka naman magqualify sa skilled independent visa instead of student visa. so far dito sa forum may mga naaapprove naman under 572 kahit nakatapos n ng bachelors degree dito and most of them are nursing grads.. where ba sa aussie mo balak pumunta?

    sept 2014: IELTS done
    oct2014: IELTS result 7.5
    nov2014: applied at AIH, CSU(got interviewed) and Kent Institute
    dec2014: got offer letter from all schools
    jan2015: still undecided where to study :(

    Hello @jonboy . Nakuha ko yung 572 visa ko last May. Bachelor's Degree holder din ako and unrelated pa sya sa kukunin ko (Children's Services). Pero kasi yung line of work ko related to teaching in a way. :) Basta dapat ipakita mo sa GTE mo na gusto mo talaga yung course and may concrete plan ka na on what to do with it pag tapos ka na mag-aral and dapat naka emphasize na uuwi ka sa Pinas para iapply yung pinag-aralan mo. :)

    @winks ....hi bro alam mo bang just this year ay dinagdag nila ang chef sa SOL so if you take that course (food related) then you can apply for pr after completing your course....look at NMIT website they are offering certificate course in cookery.....NMIT also is not that expensive...

    @5000rpm ...hi bro so far sa mga nakilala ko na mga students dito, and not to discourage you also....wala pa akong nameet na isa sa kanila na carpentry ang kinuhang course dito....kung mahilig ka sa mga linya na ganyan ang ma suggest ko sa iyo ay locksmith....mas preferable pa yan siya bro at marami ding opening yan dito....however, if you really like that field (carpentry) ok lang yan bro just make it sure na 2 year program siya, if not, then you can opt for something else after your course....

    naku, hindi ka mauubusan ng work kung carpentry ka. madami ako namemeet sa daan mga painter, carpenter, tradesman, basta sa construction.. obs ko lang yun ha, i can't verify kasi yung field naman ng mga pinoy karamihan ay nursing..

    hello, I really need advice.. my intake is supposed to be on Feb 2015 in melbourne but I decided to lodge last July30, 2014... last week, after completing medical and submitting the additional documents, my CO called me suggesting I withdraw my application otherwise they'll decline it. As for the reason mentioned to me, it was because I didn't meet the year 11 requirement, since I only had 7 months of studying Chinese language in Taiwan. I had asked if it was possible to take a 5 months cert course from tesda to add it all but she said "No.. kailangan talaga na 1 year straight in one course and one education provider" now, my question... if I upgrade my visa application to SVP since I got an offer letter from University of Canberra which is a pathway partner of the VET school I applied in.... will this issue still arise? Ang hnd ko lang kc mainitindihan, bakit kailangan year 11 for visa application especially when the VET course only requires year 10 holder. Medyo unfair lang ng feeling...

    Another question, if I withdraw the application will I be able to get the refund from the school (the downpayment), or if I appeal how long is the duration for someone to make an appeal and what would my chances be?

    Please, I really need advice. :(

    Though he transfered the money in my acct? And he made an affidavit? he is my bf for almost 4 years now, both working here in Singapore but no way that I can earn my show money, we can prove naman na he is the one who supported my studies also in the Philippines. He just really want to send me in Au for further studies.. we are ready to lodge na next week but i am very anxious.. Worried if they will grant it or not... :(

    @ann006 tama po si Boss. Dan hindi nyo po pwede gawin sponsor yung b.f nyo kung kasal na kayo pwede kasi asawa nyo na siya, at kung ililipat naman sainyo ang pera ni b.f nyo make sure lang na may valid documents kayo na maprovide kung saan nyo naincome ang pera example kung working need nyo ipasa ang pay slip at employment certificate indicated the salary range at kung ilang taon na kayo nagwowork at pati b.i.r at kung business naman need nyo ipasa ang mayors permit at actual picture ng business nyo,. Tip ko lang po pagisipan nyo po mabuti regarding sa show money mahigpit po kasi mga c.o pag dating sa ganyan at baka magka record kayo sakanila. Good luck po and god bless sa lahat.

    @ann006 suggestion lang po, dont risk ur application if u r not satisfied na stable ang stand ng documents mo. I experienced that, my sponsor was may gf, we have all affidavits that proved na i can withdraw anytime in our account, we have showmoney,payslip,itr, etc.pero di parin sapat, they are very suspicious kapag live in partner lang ang status ng applicant. So after ng refusal nmen, we decided to get married (dun naman pupunta un ) now we are waiting for a positive result . Hope this will help, think twice or thrice, mahirap kasi magkarecord ng ndi maganda ;)

    @ann006 kung svp ung school na papasukan mo I think d masyado mahigpit sa proof of funds base sa mga nababasa ko sa ibang thread. So sa kaso mo siguro d na masyado kukutkutin kung saan galing funds mo, kung d ako nagkakamali. Basta sa pagkakaalam ko yung pera nasa pangalan mo tapos andun sya ng hindi bababa ng 3 buwan bago ka mag lodge. :D

    @ann006 bali po ang ginamit namin ay ung joint account namin na almost 2 years na, pero concern lang po, parang mas advisable po sa situation nio ang subclass 573, mahigpit po tlga sa showmoney and sponsor ang 572, pero its ur decision nman po. Goodluck po sa ating lahat :)

    If you believe, you will receive whatever you ask in prayer
