    HI all!!! Im new here po! Im in SYD now holding business visitor ( presented my thesis paper in a conference last Oct 21-23. Leaving Sydney this Nov 6.

    Dumalaw po ako sa UTS coz i am interested to take Masters in Tourism Management, the international students affairs under business department checked my IELTS (8.0 pero under GT) said pasok daw even if its not Acad. Also i have masters in urban management and so they said I would be qualified to take up the course. Isasama ko my husband and 7 yr old kid, i also understand the procedure to lodge his TRV to book him in the appropriate school in a Suburb where we will stay --- we will stay with my dad and brother na both are australian citizens na....
    Since it would be under VISA 573:
    1. my concern now is the GTE.. Since i would seem unemployed na when i leave phils and same with my husband.
    ---- But granted i secure papers to prove i am a GTE like affidavit of paid leave from employer and my husband to resign from work but will return to Phils to manage their properties and his uncle will also submit an affidavit stating the business plans for the family owned properties, do you guys think that would be enough?

    2. can anyone pls share the timeline ng visa grant sa same situation as me na may 1 school age dependent, spouse and under 573?

    3. I dont fully understand the assessment level 2 for 573 as well...

    4. If i submit a study grant notice from an NGO, affidavit of support from my dad here and paid leave from employer, do i still need to show proof of funds?

    I plan to:
    - process application letter sa UTS
    Expect the letter of offer after 4 weeks (tama ba?

    - pay enrollment fee
    - expect CoE after 5 days?
    - get BUPA (cheaper)
    - process my son's TRV and tuition ($4500 for holders of 573)




    Hoping for replies... muchos gracias!!!

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!

    @Misyel yung kasamahan ko sa work sito na pinay na nag aaral sa UTS under sub class 573 din hindi daw sila hinanapan ng UTS at ng immigration ng show money. Pwede mo hingan ng declaration of support brother mo at father mo . Hingan mo sila bank account pang dagdag sa personal na funds mo
