May question po ako mga guys regarding sa proof of funds, diba hindi na pwede in-laws mag sponsor kase tita ko sana mag sponsor para sa wife ko. Pumunta kami sa Agent ang sabi pwede daw palabasin na yung wife ko ang tunay na pamangkin ng tita ko. Pwede kaya yun? hindi nadaw bother mag investigate yung consul dyan as long as nag certify si tita na sumosuporta cya.
Someone enlighten me please...
Thank you and Godbless us all!

Regarding din naman sa dalawang anak namin 1 yr old and 4 yrs old, sabi pa ng agent na hindi ndaw namin e-declare na may anak kami baka daw ma deny kase iisipin ng co ee-wan pa namin mga bata dito na maliliit pa and sino mag aalaga. Anyone po ba dito na may ganitong situation na may anak sila at iniwan nila mag-asawa? kumusta po application ninyo?
sa 573 poba Bachelor degree dapat ba 1 sem ebabayad sa school in advance? medjo mahal po kase yung Bachelor. May nabasa po ako dito na package from tafe to uni, ano po sa tingin nyo?
pasencya na po daming tanong.. confuse lang kase.

as for sa anak po, need niyo ideclare sila kasi kung hindi mahihirapan din kayo pag gusto niyo na pasunudin sila sa Australia. Include them as your dependents. iyong cousin po ng hubby ko nasa oz under student visa din with 1 child, may nakilala kami dun nung ngvisit kami 3 anak ang kasama under student visa. ako po, next year pagmag lodge kami isasama ko anak namin.
subclass 573 dahil SVP po siya, kelangan po magbayad ng 1 sem in full, kelangan ng COE pag magaapply ng visa eh. sila kuya dan @danyan2001us, iyan ata iyong path na kinuha TAFE to uni.
