    Sunod sunod tayo! I just received an email from my CO about my visa grant! Congratulations sa atin lahat! And thank you to everybody for taking time to respond to the never ending queries from us. Sobrang helpful ng forum na to dahil ang dami mo ng matututunan at matatanungan, ang dami mo pang support na nakukuha from the other members just from talking to each other. Napaka daunting at stressful kasi ng process pero with people like you, mas nakakabawas kahit papano ng kaba. Dahil parepareho tayo ng pinapagdaanan at pinagdaanan. Thank you ulit sa lahat :) God bless x

    Hello, po! First time ko po mag post dito...Nagpplano po ako pumunta sa Australia...student visa po ang aaplyan ko... Married po ako with 2 kids. Nakapag inquire po ako sa isang agency. Nasabi po sa akin na 2.8M to 2.9M ang kailagan kong show money na ihanda dahil with dependents daw ako... nalilito po ako...kasi kaiba po ito sa nabanggit sa akin ng pinsan ko na 1.2M show money (figure given by school). Vocational lang po ang aaralin ko.

    sana po eh meron pong makapag share sa akin..about sa source of funds... anu po kaya ang dapat naming i-prepare... 1.2M or 2.9M? :)

    @lovabelle hi! Same tayo. Ako naman 1 lang anak ko then si hubby. Bale if kaya, 3 kami sa application ko. Di ko lang alam if pwede source of fund ay pag galing sa inlaws. Aunt/uncle ng asawa ko.

    @jenmac Magkanu daw ung dapat na show money mo? Sabi kasi ng agency, kahit hindi ko sila kasama muna sa pagpunta, kasali sila sa computation.

    Hindi ko din alam kung pede Aunt/uncle ng husband ang sponsor.. ang sabi lang sa akin, pede daw ung Aunty ko. :) pede kaya father-in-law?

    @lovabelle yung pinsan ng hubby ko ang kausap ko, sabi nya yung funds daw for atleast 12months. Sinuggest din nya, na much better daw if kasama ko na hubby and baby sa application. Kasi mas madali yata yun once na magapply ng PR. Sila yung magssponsor samin nasa sydney sila.

    Check immi.gov.au.

    Andun nklgay kng mgkno at ano acceptable sources. I think ang minimum per person ay 18k aud. Pag additional is 13k aud yta. Not sure. Mas mliit pg sa minor age. And if schooling n anak mo dgdag pa sa school costs un. Pero mas mura nmn compare sa tuition mo. Sama mo rin ang air fare. Roundtrip dpat. Pti visa application fee at oshc (health insurance) 1800 aud something yta pg family. Not sure.

    Pwede cguro, ang mhalaga yta yung supporting docs. Kelangan lng nmn dun mptunayan mo na willing sila magbigay ng financial support e.g. bnbgyan ka ng access sa funds nila something like that daw. My nabasa ako dito na statutory declaration daw na pwede mnggling sa mgsponsor sayo na mgssbi na willing sila support ka sa living costs, tuition, accomodation, food etc.

    Baka hindi kami kumuha ng agent, andami ko rin nbbasa dto hnde nmn cla nghire ng gnun pero success nmn.

    Im still researching kasi kung ano tlga kkunin ko. Step by step pa. Kkuha plang ako ielts. Pero 1st choice ko early childhood services, un din kc nirecommend skn ng tita nya sa sydney. Mejo di gnun ktaas dn ang recquired na ielts score. Ikaw? Ano blak mo kunin? San mo balak? Think positive lng. Walang imposible. Tiyaga lang at mkkrting din tayo sa visa grant na yan hehehe. :)

    Hi sis.. Same po tyo kc i applied with my hubby and 2 kids. Last year po ang pinprepare po sakin n show money ng agent ko is 3.3M kc dpt ang funds m is good for 18months yta plus ung tuition ng school aged dependent w/c is defaulted to $8k aud. tpos this year ngbgo rules ng immi sbi 12months nlng n proof of funds pero sbi p din ng agent ko its 2.5M prin khit daw. Pg vocational nman sis mas mhigpit cla s source of funds dpt immediate family lng or uncle/auntie n australian citizen lng ang pwde.
