Hi! May tanong lang po sana ako. Planning to apply under 572. Need daw ng show money. Pwede ba na dalawang bank certificates ipresent pero under ng isang name lang? Or kelangan talaga pagsamahin sa isang account lang? Tas regarding sa payslips, ilang months usually ang pinapakita? Thank you po.

@marchbaby@bebangau parang assessment nga sya na genuine student ka. Assumption is you will go back to the philippines after completing your studies. So they'll try to figure out how will the course help you in the future like mas mataas na sweldo, etc.

@marchbaby@traveltart hi tatanungin ko lang po kung ano un gte? naguguluhan kasi ako ilang beses ko na paulit ulit binabasa. statement po ba un galing from me na genuine student ako? o assessment po iyon? ipinapasa ba ang gte?
tama po si @traveltart yun po yung assessment ng Immigration, na dapat Genuine Temporary Entrant ka. Iaassess nila kung yung reason ba ng pagaaral mo ay para mapakinabangan mo sa iyong career o balak mo lang maging indefinite student/temporary resident para makapagtrabaho lang/TNT.
Iaassess nila kung talaga bang tatapusin mo yung pagaaral mo. Pero hindi ibig sabihin nun, na hindi ka na pwedeng magapply ng working visa/PR later on.

Okay lang yung iba ibang account basta yung total, aabot sa requirements. Make sure rin na yung account holder ay isa sa mga pwedeng magsponsor sa yo e.g. partner/spouse, parents, siblings, aunt & uncle.
With payslips, I dunno. Para sure mga 3 months siguro. Pero mas importante yung bank certificates, supporting evidence na lang yung payslips.

Hello guys
. I just want to consult. Matindi na kasi kaba nmin ng asawa ko sa visa ko. Kumpleto na ko my medical na din. Dependent visa po ung sakin under svp subclass 573. My agent din po ako. pero pati xa ngtataka bakit ganun katagal na ung sakin
I lodged my visa last august 11,2015 in vfs global sa makati
acknowledgement letter recieve ng embassy august 12, 2015 recieve by the case officer mr.danielle
Embassy emailed for follow up document by the case officer ms. Lulu last oct. 1(thursday)
we passed all the follow up docs last October 6(tuesday).
Until now wala pa din kami narerecieve na any call or email for the result came from case officer. Kinakabahan na po kasi kami. And ung wife ko ndi na makapag aral ng maaus dahil sa pag iintay ng visa. We followed up via email direct to embassy and call the vfs call center to many times. I already tried to go back to vfs to personal talk to the agents sa vfs pero wala din sila magawa. Until now we didnt recieve anything. Any suggestion po na pwede makatulong. Sana matulungan nyo po ako.

Hi guys! Is it ok if papalitan ko iyong annual income statement together with the annual income tax return na nasend ko sa idp? Magkakaconflict kasi with the bank savings. Hindi pa naman nalodge ng idp eh. Pero na reach ko naman iyong required visa funds. Worried lang sa annual income report from 2014. Hindi ba problema or bubusiin ng idp yan if pagawa ako new report tapos idisregard nila iyong previous one? Worried na ako. Feb 2016 intake ko. Paid tuition fees and done with medical na.

Hi bebangau,
If I may ask, nasa plans mo ba ang maging permanent resident sa Australia? Kasi yung course na balak mong kunin, parang walang clear pathway to becoming a PR. Kung mag-aaral ka lang talaga, then that's okay. Pero kung gusto mong eventually mag-stay sa Australia in the long run, I suggest looking at other courses that would give you a fair chance of securing a long-term visa here. Good luck po!

UTI is something curable ....you must be more worried if ang issue ay TB or something related to that...anything that is contagious...yn ang issue na nakakatakot kasi allergic talaga ang mga taga immig sa ganyan na mga cases

@bebangau I don't know what to say. Parang ang hirap naman ng situation mo. Pero good thing you have something na gusto mo talaga gawin. When I started my application, I was also confused whether it would be best for me to study master of prof. accounting or BS Nursing. Pinag isipan ko mabuti and of course, nagpray for God's guidance. BS Accountancy graduate kasi ako sa Pinas but never ko nagamit. In terms of Nursing, high kasi ang demand. Pareho naman pwede mag PR. But I finally decided to take up masters kasi may unlimited work rights si hubby :-) Mahal kasi masyado tuition fee and kailangan maging practical. Good luck and pray always!

Hi traveltart. Just wanted to butt in and give some unsolicited comments about your choice. While it is true that parehong may pathway to PR ang nursing and accountancy professions, the competition for visa invites for accountants has never been stiffer. Also, DIBP decreased the number of invites from 2014 (5000+) to 2015(~2500). That's around 50% reduction in the PR slots allocation, which is a bit alarming for accountants who are looking to apply for PR. Based on the forums I've been to, around 20 invited per round lang ang ini-issue lately and sobrang dami Ng backlog for 60-pointers kasi puro 70 pointers ang naiinvite.
Also, since you have never had any work experience in the field, your pathway would likely involve applying for a 485 TR visa (2-years) during which you may have to take up the relevant Professional Year program for accountants (SMIPA ata tawag dun) to get your skills assessment that's needed for skilled migration, so you need to also factor that cost in your computations (if you haven't yet )
What I'm trying to say is between Nursing and Accounting, the former gives one greater chances of getting a PR visa although it's more expensive. Kasi halos ganun din yung length of time they you will spend anyway. But as you've said, for practical reasons you chose the latter and that's totally understandable but I suggest as much as possible make sure to also project how many points you might be able to get by the time you finish the course and SMIPA to give you an idea of your chances for a PR by that time.
who knows what the future holds. Basta pray and do your best. Good luck Po!

With payslips, I dunno. Para sure mga 3 months siguro. Pero mas importante yung bank certificates, supporting evidence na lang yung payslips.

. I just want to consult. Matindi na kasi kaba nmin ng asawa ko sa visa ko. Kumpleto na ko my medical na din. Dependent visa po ung sakin under svp subclass 573. My agent din po ako. pero pati xa ngtataka bakit ganun katagal na ung sakin
I lodged my visa last august 11,2015 in vfs global sa makati
acknowledgement letter recieve ng embassy august 12, 2015 recieve by the case officer mr.danielle
Embassy emailed for follow up document by the case officer ms. Lulu last oct. 1(thursday)
we passed all the follow up docs last October 6(tuesday).
Until now wala pa din kami narerecieve na any call or email for the result came from case officer. Kinakabahan na po kasi kami. And ung wife ko ndi na makapag aral ng maaus dahil sa pag iintay ng visa. We followed up via email direct to embassy and call the vfs call center to many times. I already tried to go back to vfs to personal talk to the agents sa vfs pero wala din sila magawa. Until now we didnt recieve anything. Any suggestion po na pwede makatulong. Sana matulungan nyo po ako.

Business administration po and management ang kukuhanin ko na course sa oz. Nurse po ako dito and has 6 months experience sa clinic at 6 months sa saudi.
Naguumpisa po kasi kami ng business ng ate ko sa cake and pastries may isang taon na din po inyo kaya un ang kukuhanin ko ay para mamanage ko iyon ng maayos, and ayoko magstop ng pagaaral. And kaya ako nagnurse nuon kasi gsto ko maalagaan un mommy ko kasi ako lang naiwan dto sknya s bahay and un ang gsto nya para sa akin. My mom passed away last february, still keeping her in my heart, pero sa ngayon i want to pursue my own dreams naman.
Totoong totoong yan po ang kwnto ng buhay ko.
Gusto ko lang tanungin kung kamusta magiging estado ko nyan sa embassy? Kahur insight nyo lang po.. thank u po saka pasensya na talaga. S monday po ay nakaschedule na ako mag ayos ng pera.

If I may ask, nasa plans mo ba ang maging permanent resident sa Australia? Kasi yung course na balak mong kunin, parang walang clear pathway to becoming a PR. Kung mag-aaral ka lang talaga, then that's okay. Pero kung gusto mong eventually mag-stay sa Australia in the long run, I suggest looking at other courses that would give you a fair chance of securing a long-term visa here. Good luck po!

Will the embassy inform us once they'll receive our application? How? Through email or text message? Are they going to send the message directly to me or through my agent? Please share your experience. Thank you!

Also, since you have never had any work experience in the field, your pathway would likely involve applying for a 485 TR visa (2-years) during which you may have to take up the relevant Professional Year program for accountants (SMIPA ata tawag dun) to get your skills assessment that's needed for skilled migration, so you need to also factor that cost in your computations (if you haven't yet
What I'm trying to say is between Nursing and Accounting, the former gives one greater chances of getting a PR visa although it's more expensive. Kasi halos ganun din yung length of time they you will spend anyway. But as you've said, for practical reasons you chose the latter and that's totally understandable but I suggest as much as possible make sure to also project how many points you might be able to get by the time you finish the course and SMIPA to give you an idea of your chances for a PR by that time.
who knows what the future holds. Basta pray and do your best. Good luck Po!
