Just want to share my timeline with IDP handling my application since day 1 ")
Subclass 573 ( SVP Level 1 ) 14 to 21 days processing as per my agent.
August 25 - Medical examination at SLEC
August 28 - My results were forwarded to the Australian Embassy ( i am the main applicant )
September 01 - My Agent lodged our application to the Australian Embassy
September 04 - My husbands medicals were forwarded to the Australian Embassy (a bit late because we declared his scar from previous condition)
September 14 - Agent sent to us the Health Undertaking form from the Embassy to be signed my husband. The same day he signed it and sent it back.
September 15 - VISA GRANT!!! Thank you Lord!!!
* the agent told me that CO started the assessment just last sept. 4 eventhough our application were lodged sept 1 because all medicals should be submitted first daw before starting the assessment. So considering that, our visa process was just 7 working days

IDP experiences of everyone may not be the same for everyone but I believe IDP
May be able to help you further when you arrive here particularly on consequent visa concerns.
From what I hear also among other students who had their visa processed thru other educ migration agents, they give less priority and attention once the students are here already. Problems with enrolment, health insurance and so forth.
Anyway, to each his own--your research abilities should give you more informed decisions!
Goodluck and Godbless to the others waiting, and for those who've made it, Keep the faith! Hope to see some of you in Sydney if you're headed here!
Cheers!!

Hello, thanks sa reply. Yup, as per my IDP counsellor, dapat daw related sa course na tinapos ko dito, which is Bus. Ad. Pinakukuha ako doon ng Adv. diploma. After kaya maka-graduate ay mabigyan ng chance na magka-PR while having work? Pwede ba magstart ng application habang naka-post study work visa? Nag-GTE ka po? ano po nature? Exam or interview? May maisusuggest ka po bang business schools dun na mura? Is SVP always visa 573? Sayu po ba, di na daw need ng show money kapag visa 573? Daming tanong.. haha. Salamat in advance

Nabasa ko na IDP ang agent mo and Alma yung name ng counsellor mo? Is she Alma Galvez? Diba NZ ang hawak nya? Siya kasi yung kumausap sa akin and magiging counsellor ko once I decided to choose studying in NZ. Dalawang agent kasi pinuntahan ko dati, for AU and NZ
Ano po pala ang graduate course mo dito? At ano po ang inaplayan mong course dun? ano pong degree? - adv dip, dip, cert 1 2 3.. at ano pong school? Hope you don't mind asking po Salamat..

Thanks sa info. Mentioned lang ni agent yung 573 but not SVP. According to him, di na daw need ng show money kasi yung course na pinili ko ay kasama dun sa 573. Regarding po dun sa nabanggit mo na "visa lodging need lang ng declaration". Declaration of? Ito po ba yung GTE or proof of funds? Di din nabanggit ni agent na may mga universities na nanghihingi ng show money, sabi lang nya, per term ang payment. In case 2 terms, bayaran ko lang daw muna yung 1st (instalment) then saka magwait ng admission from them. Kaya sa tingin ko, basta 573, no need ng show money, mapa uni man or hindi.. tama po ba thanks..
