When you say, "Hindi na yun aabot sa embassy unless hihingin ng officer for further evaluation," once nakakuha ka ng offer letter from school, ikaw pa rin ba magpaprocess ng student visa or school na bahala?
I've contacted Fortrust consultancy and they will send me the list of schools next week. Need to backread a lot here pero for now concentrate muna ako sa IELTS. Wala kasi ako masyado alam sa AU mas nauna ko i-research NZ.

>>> I don't know the reason as well bakit ganun ang standards ng Australia govt sa AL3 country like us! YES - 12 mos lang. If you ask Fortrust, they will answer you the same. It is included in their Sample Computation Sheet. I went to Fortrust as well. But I did not process with them kase I got direct communication na with the SVP school.
>>> Ganito yun... Pag SVP ang school mo, your application will be assessed as Assessment Level 1...SVP schools are authorized by the Aus govt to evaluate your papers and tell the immigration that they have assessed your docs and you are qualified and you passed the GTE... Pag NON SVP ang school mo, your application will be evaluated as Assessment Level 3...because Phils is Assessment Level 3...
