    @santosjed21 Actualy like ko sana ang bridging prog kaso wala ako experience as an RN sa pinas. So not qualified ako. Then di ko naisip yung aged care course kasi 6mons to 1yr lang ang duration. After nun, uuwi ka na ng pinas kasi they dont sponsor AINs here anymore. Just the RNs, I think. Kaya I decided to take nursing again instead of those two options. Mas mataas ang chance at I have a enough time to find an employer. Although, magastos at matagal. Pero worth it in the end. :)

    @ateckmagnaye Last year pa ako nag lodge. After 3 mons, na-grant visa ko. Tumagal sa pag process ng medical ko kasi I declared I have asthma and took chest Xray pero clear naman. Sa Univ. of Newcastle ako. :)

    Sorry for this, I had posted this message on another thread but I'm quite desperate and anxious...

    I really need advice.. my intake is supposed to be on Feb 2015 for a VET course 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?

    thanks everyone

    "IF YOU ASK ANYTHING IN MY NAME, I WILL DO IT".

    John 14:14

    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.
