    @mynameisR03 hi. Yes may courses na walang show money. Basta program na eligible for SVP. Kasi pag SVP, cut down na sila sa proof of funds meaning you don't need show money and they will only ask for declaration.

    Mark 11:24 Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours.

    @mynameisR03 streamlined visa processing. Bale yung mga universities and institution nagpaparticipate sila sa program ng australian immigration. So, kunwari SVP school or program yung papasukan mo, pag maglolodge ka na ng visa hindi mo na need magattach bg mga proof of funds/show money. May mga schools na sakanila lang nagrerequire ng show money pero usually pag IDP nag assist sayo, exempted na sa show money sa schools. Example in my case ko. Pinag IDP ako ng La Trobe para di nako mag show ng funds. Di ko lang alam bat ganun, yung credibility siguro ng IDP :)

    -Took the IELTS Exam of Oct 24
    -IELTS results on Nov 6
    -Went to IDP on Nov 9 to submit IELTS score and follow up for offer letter
    -My counsellor did not forgot to forward my requirements last Oct 23 and will send with IELTS instead on Nov 9.
    -Called and emailed my counsellor on Nov 15 and Nov 20 to follow up.
    -Counselor did not reply to my email at all. twice
    -Called to follow up and confirm if requirements were submitted. Counselor would respond "Yes. I think so. Will just contact you through email."

    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.

    Scheduled for medical on Saturday. All visa reqts. are ready na. Just waiting for offer letter.

    I'm not sure if efficient ba talaga yung counselor ko.

    Posible bang makatanggap ng phone interview mula sa co??
    Based on past experiences ng mga members po dito, oo. The CO would usually give the applicant a call pag may details about the application na hindi masyadong convincing (e.g. GTE requirement, de-facto, finances, etc). Good luck!

    @appledeuce

    I've been calling idp since monday to speak with a different counselor but sabi ng secretary "may counselling sya or nag break"

    I called today and finally spoke with the other counselor. i complained to her about my counselor not replying to my emails and i wanted to double check on my application.

    i also called my uni (long distance) to check and emailed them but told me na sa agent ako mag follow up.

    they also have an online status tracker but it would show na "no records." on my end.
    So i emailed them but again sa agent daw ako mag follow up.

    i've been doubting my counselor since he was really ineffective and unassuring:
    replies "i think so" or doesn;t reply at all (through email)

    No choice. Buti nalang i spoke with a more experienced counselor today and she checked on my application.

    She asked if i received an acknowledgment letter (this is before any offer letter).
    i told her wala talaga. she said i should receive one but as mentioned 3-4 weeks na ako nag submit wala pa rin.

    i submitted last october 23 pa. but sabi ng counselor ko sa nov. 12 pa na forward yung application ko with my ielts score kasi na "busy" sya. (again nakakaloka)

    still nag follow up ako weekly kasi I never trusted him cause he kept saying "i think". nakakaloka.

    wala din ako choice kasi if aawayin ko baka mas ma delay pa. :)

    buti nlng i trusted my instincts.

    just 10 minutes ago nag email sa akin yung new isang counselor and told me they will send out my application TODAY. (Nov 26)

    ibig sabihin 1 month ako linoko ng counselor ko saying he did forward it na but hindi pala.


    back to step 1 ako today.
    Nakakinis but thankful na hopefully ma address na yung application ko .

    @mikenbelle same tayo ng situation. kaso lng ako yung mag study and my father in law will be our financial support.

    the reqts. will depend on the visa subclass.
    I am applying for a subclass 573. I will need to submit a notarized declaration and an affidavit of support signed by my father in law (as sponsor) and we will request for his bank statements (last 3-6 months) ng accounts nya.

    No need for show money kasi but need to prove na may sufficient funds lang talaga to support our stay.

    i can PM you the list of financial capacity natanggap ko for visa reqts

    Wow. That's all I can say.

    Good job trusting your instincts. Hindi rin kasi natin alam Kung may pinagdadaanan yung una Mong counsellor so it's best to just shrug it off kasi Wala namang manngyayari kahit na awayin mo pa siya. But really poor service.

    Good luck! Hopefully the delay proves to be a good thing for your application.
