Since sa melbourne nila ni-lodge ung visa application namin mas mabilis ba yon compare dun sa mga dto nagsubmit sa Phils?
Then kung may interview thru phone, mga what time of the day kaya sila tumatawag? Im worried kc pag andto na ako sa bahay mga 5:30pm onwards wala ng signal ung phone ko medyo dead spot kc sa loob ng bahay namin. eh bka natawag na pla cla then lagi out of reach. Usually ba sa mobile sila natawag?
Intake ko is january 25 2016, diploma in nursing course then ung school ko ang area nia is sa plenty road, preston.
I'm hoping na makakuha kami ng accomodation na same area din para malapit sa school.

-I consulted with IDP Cebu while self-reviewing for IELTS.
-I was advised to apply ahead for a conditional offer.
-I submitted my application except IELTS on Oct 23, 2015.
I was advised to follow up 2 weeks.
-Took the IELTS Exam on Oct 24, 2015
-IELTS results on Nov 6 (Passed)
-I went to IDP on Nov 12 to submit IELTS score and follow up for the conditional offer
My counselor admitted that he forgot to forward my requirements last Oct 23 and will send application with IELTS results instead.
-I called and emailed my counselor on Nov 15 and Nov 20 to follow up.
Counselor did not reply to my email at all. twice
-I called to follow up and confirm if requirements were submitted. Counselor only respond twice on Nov 16 and Nov 21 "Yes. I think so. I submitted your application. I will just contact you through email." (He sounded unsure if he submitted my application)
I am a bit anxious if na forward na ba talaga or not. By now, I'm expecting an offer letter from uni but wala pa rin. Seeing most of the posts. An offer letter usually takes up to 2 weeks or a couple of days lang.
I already scheduled for a medical on Saturday. Since All visa reqts. are ready na and I'm Just waiting for offer letter to pay all fees.
I'm not sure if efficient ba talaga yung counselor ko.
Masters by coursewrok sa ECU yung inapply ko.
Planning to start program on Feb 2016. Already anxious if Maabutan ko kaya?

Yes, I think pede na dun sa melbourne i-pass ung application kc sinend saakin ung copy ng application ko and ang nakalagay sa question na where did you lodge your visa application ang answer is in Melbourne.
About sa fees I Think in aud pero ung bayad namin sakanila sa peso parang package na kasi I dont have any idea kung magkano tlga in exact amount.
And about sa CO, I dont have an idea wala pa kasi natawag saakin from embassy. So di ko alam kung from here or from au na.
Ung acknowledgedment ng embassy Alam ko sa email un sinend di ko lang alam kung what date kc they made me a dummy email para dun ung mga transaction regarding sa visa application but Di ko pa nbubuksan un. Ninonotify lang nila ako if anu na ung next step namin.

May naibigay na ba na password and idp sayo? Yung parang portal nila. Dun mo malalaman yung status.
Also, it would actually depend on the school if they can send the offer letter asap. You can ask them nalang ilang days/weeks para you'll have an idea. Or baka meron dito sa forum na kapareho ng uni mo. Based on experience kasi meron nagsend sakin after a month ng pag apply sa kanila. 3 universities kasi inapplyan ko and lahat naman may offer letter. Yung isa nga lang, after a month na. Good luck po.
