  @bebangau I guess Year 12 is 2nd year college, so if you were a Bachelors degree graduate, just tell them what school you attended and attach evidence. Transcrpts (will prove what grades you had in school), college diploma, cert of completion. Yes, answer them straight, ayaw nila ng palabok. bebangau, please seek help from IDP. I do personally and strongly suggest to seek their professional help, free lang sila.

  Meron ba dito sa inyo online yung work? Red flag ba yun for student visa? Kasi nung nag tourist visa ako few years ago sa australia, di ko dineclare na online work ko. Baka kasi sumabit. Nabigyan ako ng tourist visa nun. This time for student visa, declare ko ba or wag na lang? Di rin naman ako makakapag ask ng certificate. Kaso naisulat ko na sya sa university. Help. Please.

  usually mabilis lang yan, pero pag weekend, walang processing. I think wala namang problema kasi may BSB number at account number sa Oz, so medyo specific yun eh. Siguro kunin mo yung transaction number from BPI. Otherwise, i follow-up mo ng i-follow-up sa school.

  Hi. Newbie here po.. I've been a "spectator mode" of this forum and read almost every convo here. I have learned a lot and got scared na din kasi sa mga refusal stories na din. Got a great news a while ago lang from my agent na approved na visa ko. Thank you for the people here who encourages and shares some tips and advices. I hope na you'll help more people pa! More power and God Bless.

  @valiantboy ika 6 working day ko na ito.. waiting sa eCOE ko.. nakak praning kasi my visa application, medical and baka interview pa. tapos 572 lang yn enenrol ko kasi namahalan ako sa 2 yrs tuition ko although SVP na yun pero mas pinili ko 1yr. eh kasi sa jan 25 2016 na intake ko baka ma alanganin nako nito. dapat nag egent nalang siguro ako sa manila kaso mas mahal ang service fees nila. sa ngayon ang school muna kinukulit ko, after this week kung wala pa ang bpi na. tama naman lahat ng bank details na bingay ko my copy pa nga sila ng bank details ng school.
  
  possible ba na pwede kong kausapin ang school ba gawing SVP 2yr course nalang ang ecoe ko. due to very late visa processing na dala ng wire transfer. kaya naman ang funds ng sponsor ko kung 2 years din.
