hi everyone, ask ko lang kung ano ang criteria/requirement for a student visa application? ok na ba ang nakatungtung ng second year (1st sem) college? I'm planning to sponsor(finance) my niece for a student visa but di ako sure if she's already qualified. Thanks in advance.
artisteSydney Posts: 67Member Joined: Jan 04, 2012
@RF_angel25 depende po kung ano kukunin nya. Pag bachelor, kailangan at least year 12 dito which is dapat makatapos ng at least 1 year sa college sa pinas.

@pepay hi pepay! kamusta ba ang first day mo? meron ka na bang nahanap na work?
@markier87 pwede mag avail ng credit card kahit nasa student visa tayo. As long as u can pay on time. Open a bank acct first, thats important. Lahat na din kasi dito may online payment kaya its useful to have debit/credit card.
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
Thanks sa mga nagresponse. iba kase ang case ko.. sinabi ko sa IDP na yung mag sponsor sa akin ay in-laws ko na nasa US pa. sabi sa akin ok naman daw yun basta willing at makapag provide ng show money na 1.6Mphp. may nagkaroon na ba ng ganitong case dito na hindi sa loob ng AU ang nagsponsor?
Sponsor ko pinsan from new zealand pero hindi tinanggap ng immi at nagbigay ako ibang sponsor. Kung sinabi ng IDP agent mo , baka nga pwede

@Siopao23 kuya ..ok lang bah ang 200,000 philippine pesos na baon naming dalawa ng partner ko poh? kukulangin kaya yun?
@goofygoofbot depende yan kasi. Kung magkano rent nyo sa bahay. Kasi ako pumunta ako dito $100 lang dala ko hehehe. Kasi nakitira muna ako sa bahay ng kuya ko , kaya libre lahat. Tapos after a week siniwerte ako nakapag work agad sa fastfood dito. Yung isang kuya ko ganyan din dala amount mga $6k pero super tipid at naghanap agad sila ng work. San ba kayo magrerent ng bahay?

@Siopao23 subclass 573 nga sabi sa akin ng agent sa IDP. unang choice ko kase is diploma lang which is 1 year lang pero dahil wala akong relatives sa loob ng AU di daw pwede ang vocational lalo na kulang amount ng money ko sa bank. since plano ko namang icontinue as bachelor gawin ko daw package yung 1yr course + 3 yrs course para daw iallow nila ang sponsor ko kahit nasa US. sana nga magrant..

ask ko lang kung ano ang criteria/requirement for a student visa application? ok na ba ang nakatungtung ng second year (1st sem) college?
I'm planning to sponsor(finance) my niece for a student visa but di ako sure if she's already qualified.
Thanks in advance.
