Nakadepende naman yan sa application mo kung tumutugma.
Kunyari magaaral ng nursing, eh di something like to train in a world-class uni and have my credentials recognised overseas. O di kaya kasi gusto mong pumasok sa mas mataas pa na course like masters in nursing practice kaya yung course na yun ideal stepping stone. Makes sense siya di ba? May purpose sa buhay.
Usually di ba yung pagaaral sa labas malaking decision yan, so dapat yung sagot niyo parang pinagisipan ng maagi. Hindi ka naman nagdecide ng biglaan eh. Pero pwede rin direct to the point, i want to learn how to manage my dad's business. O i want to open my restaurant someday and i need culinary and business skills.
Tapos why oz schools? Hahaha pero wag maging defensive sa purpose. Lol
With GTE, the intention is to finish the course. The CO will consider it case-by-case.

Thanks!

I was just trying my best to give advice and explain kasi hindi ko nga alam what would an agent advice. Pero yung iilan sa mga nasabi ko, based yun from examples ng mga kaibigan ko. pero di na siya word for word.
Anyway, feel free to ask. We're here to help. Madami rin akong tanong nung magaapply pa lang ako ng student visa.

. 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.
