Interviewhin ka naman kung may question pa sila sa application mo, pero usually pag 572 talaga kailangan maging prepare for interview. Meron din namang hindi na iniinterview kung ok naman or satisfied sila sa nakasulat sa statement mo. Base lang un sa mga nababasa ko dito. Pero to be sure be prepared na lang until mavisa grant na

Although, alam naman natin yung "dual-intent" na tinatawag sa nga temporary visas.. you may want to establish na wala kang plano mag-stay sa Australia after your studies.. so during your interview kung meron man, alam mo na kung paano..
Tama, worrying doesn't help.. focus ka muna sa mga kailangan mong i-close na items, and pray a lot
