hello sis/bro....need ng sponsor mo to show the proof of funds at may ma iproduce siyang bank account/statement within the timeframe then needs to issue the statutory declaration of his desire to sponsor you......by the way, just call me kuya dan (napakapormal ng sir hehe)

Hello, kamusta naman po ang lahat na waiting sa visa nila? 23 days after ng acknowledgement from embassy is wala pa rin balita regarding my visa. Though I still have like 12 days before my intake, I can't deny na I feel I am running out of time. Is it advisable ba na ipachange ko na yung intake ko from October to January? Quarterly kasi ang opening sa papasukan ko. Please enlighten me. TIA and God bless sa lahat!

try to ask for an extension from your institution...then if medyo alanganin pa rin ..arrange for an adjustment of your course commencement maybe next intake

@danyan2001us ay thank you sa info po.

JoeyPuno · October 2015

@danyan2001us Kuya, when po should I notify the institution? Oct 19 ang intake ko. I am not sure what to do. Next intake pa kung ganun ay January 2016 na. Anyway kahit pa next intake, mahalaga ay dumating ang visa. Baket po kaya natatagalan ng husto?

superluckyclover · October 2015

@JoeyPuno hi joey, di ba SVP ka but 572? Tama ba? Is IDP clarified you kung 14 days din yung processing kung 572 naman?

try to ask for an extension from your institution kasi nga delay ang visa mo

JoeyPuno · October 2015

@superluckyclover Yes po, Subclass 572 pero SVP kaya sabi ng idp ay 14 days din po ang processing nung saken. however since I had previous application daw ay may possibility daw na di masunod yun. Haaay.

superluckyclover · October 2015

@JoeyPuno just stay positive, Joey. Have faith, I believe ma grant din yan. May time pa

valiantboy · October 2015

@JoeyPuno don't lose hope! Ako nagrant sa akin 5 days before first day of classes. Na miss ko nga yung orientation week eh. Tapos yung dating ko first day mismo.

superluckyclover · October 2015

ang mahal nung ticket na direct kasi kakatapos lang din ng school holidays. So kumuha ako ng iba't-ibang airlines. Sa sobrang mahal, bargain na yung Emirates. lol Nagbigay lang ako ng mahabang allowance in case ma delay o macancel. 30-40,000 gastos ko nun.

Cebu Pacific: Hometown to Manila
Tiger Air: Manila to Singapore
Emirates: Singapore to Perth to Melbourne

siyempre naman, malaki yung naitulong ng forum na ito para sa mga applications. Tsaka paano mabubuhay yung forum kung walang nagbibigay ng new info o tumutulong sa iba.

Lahat ng pera na nasa bank kailangan.3 months sya na hindi nagagalaw before ka maglodge. Computation ng show money mo ay dependent sa years ng course mo

@rizza12 pasend nmn ung pra sa show money. Salamat

Hi all,

I am a licensed architect here in the Phils and I am planning to take up NURSING in perth through IDP. I am concerned if my visa will be denied considering my profession and why I chose nursing instead.

I initially plan to take a masters degree in Project management but i really want to shift my career to nursing. All my friends who are in Australia are all successful nurses and I don't know anyone from a different field or project managers from Phil who are there.

I am scared re the visa application if i really pursue nursing.

may I ask for your inputs

superluckyclover · October 2015

@pc3 Hi I suggest you take your foundation to the next level. Maybe project builder or construction project manager? Nasa SOL din naman yan and high-paying as long as it is skilled.

Hello poh!! New lang ako dto pero nabasa ko na yta lahat ng discussions dto sa forum… right now still waiting pa din po ako ng visa…

Under ako ng agency and nakakakaba lang kasi wala ako idea if til kelan ako magwait tapos ask ko agent ko sabi lang nia antay antay lng…

mhaydi0903 · October 2015

Nanghihinayang nga ako kasi ngaun ko lang nasearch tong forum bout student visa in Australia… and ang dami ko nalaman na nd na nadiscuss sakin ng agent ko eto konting konti na lang mamumulubi na po ako…huhu!!

Kung alam ko lang na may idp pa lang free ang consultation sana dun na lang ako nagpunta mabilis pa iprocess…

xuegee · October 2015

Hello Everyone!

Nakapaglodge ng papers ang friend ko noong September 18. Dapat sabay sana kami, but it happened na nauna ung sa akin due to some reason our agent only knows. Anyway, I got my Student Acknowledgment Letter on September 23. Hinihintay naman sana namin na mareceive ng kaibigan ko ung Student Acknowledgment Letter niya para sabay kaming maka pag medical, but i went ahead nalang since I read in the letter na i should go ahead with the medical within 5 working days. I'm done na with my medical check and per my eMedical records na forward na sa DIBP ung results noong October 5. So technically, for me, waiting for any communication nalang be it additional documents or visa grant na.

The reason I posted this is to consult you guys yung sa case ng kaibigan ko. Na curious na kami why he still did not receive his Student Acknowledgment Letter. So I checked his form 157a copy, and i noticed na ang email address na nandoon was [email protected]... hyphen ang na indicate ng agent instead of an underscore. So i was thinking, that must be the reason why hindi pa niya natatanggap ang Student Acknowledgment Letter niya.

So what we did was tumawag kami sa VFS contact center...actually we called pa nga 5 times as a general inquiry para ma sigurado namin na consistent sagot ng agents. So the agents we talked to advised us to fill up and submit Form 929 via email. We already did that, but 3 business days later, we did not receive any updates.

About the same time that we discovered about the error in the email address, we talked to the agent and she just advised us to make a follow up through email , using the correct email address. We got a response from immigration telling us, that "Records show that the email address used in your application does not match that of this one. By default, your email to us is considered an unauthorized recipient." so we were asked to fulfill form 1193 this time. We already did that last October 6. We were expecting a response nitong Monday, October 12, but wala kaming natanggap.

So, we're really wondering kung ano nang next steps namin. We're very frustrated with the agent kasi she's not even apologetic. Nung una, sabi niya na pa in as early as 2 weeks okay na... but now sabi niya naman 8 weeks. We're okay sana basta lang sana may accountability siya sa error sa side niya, and be honest lang sana sa amin.

Anyway, I'm hoping we'd get some encouragement dito sa forum. By the way the visa that we are applying for is 572 - Vocational Education and Training Sector (Temporary).

Any advise po? next steps kaya? or if any of you experienced the same? I'm still hoping na we here from the immigration this week and magka hap id na siya para makaka pagpa medical na... if wala, we don't know ano na...

Sorry po, mahaba na.

Thanks in advance to anyone who will read this, and mag reply.
