  Just wondering, is there anyone na nagapply ng 573 that had to provide bank statements? I know that no need to show financial proof pag 573 visa kinuha..pero baka lang may co that asked for it kahit 573?

  @attila Im on 573, di ako hiningin ng bank statements of my sponsor. Pinagawa lang ako ng statutory declaration. IDP nag process ng visa ko. All went well kahit medyo natagalan dahil sa medical ko. I think 573 SVP doesnt require any financial documents.

  11/17/12: passed school application thru IDP * 12/4/12: received letter of offer (univ. of newcastle) * 12/12/12: credit application * 2/22/13: received new letter of offer * 2/26/13: paid deposit fee * 3/8/13: received COE and paid visa fee * 4/10/13: visa application thru IDP * 4/11/13: medical request from DIAC * 4/12/13: medical exam done * 4/19/13: SLEC uploaded my medicals * 4/12/13: medical exam done * 7/11/13: VISA GRANTED

  we did it way back 2010..the process then was that our agent did the negotiation with the bank....dapat yong agent mo ay may contact sa bank kasi pag tatawagan yong bank yong bank manager na contact mo ang sasagot sa CO para walang problema just to confirm that you have that amount in your name and in that bank/branch...
