Sa mga mga nagpresent lang ng hap id during medical exam, baka pwede nyo check online kung naupdate ba yung info sa website. Sabi kasi na upload na daw yung medical result when i called. But when i checked online dun sa website, wala namang update. Ganun ba yun?

Hi guys! It's been 3 weeks since nakita ko tong forum na to and very useful talaga! Hanggang basa lang ako kasi ung ibang questions ko naman in mind nasasagot naman. We (me and my boyfriend for 4 years) applied for a student visa subclass 572 (de facto). I'm the principal applicant then dependent ko siya. I and my boyfriend are both nursing graduate but i'm not a board passer while he is a board passer naman but dont have any experience as a nurse. We have an agency may office cla dito sa phils and sa australia. After namin macomplete ung mga requirements namin base sa checklist na bigay nila, pinadala namin sa australia ung mga docs thru courier then cla ngpasa sa embassy sa melbourne, I think oct 31 or nov 2 nila na- pass ung application namin im not sure actually hehe. Then nov. 9 nagrequest na ang embassy ng medical. Nov 11 nagpamedical kami sa nationwide. Then sabi ng agent namin wait na lang daw for interview or pede rin wala kc ibang clients nila wala na. So waiting lng kmi pero super kaba ako everyday. May mga nabasa ako after 2 weeks na release na, ung iba nmn after a month or two.
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?

@maryjomarie subclass 572 ka diba? Svp ba or not? If not, 3 months po ata yung maximum time for review. Pwede po pala sa australia mag apply kahit andito sa pinas yung student? Pano po yung application fee ninyo, aud or php? And yung naka assign po na case officer from australia po? Yung acknowledgment email ng embassy from melbourne po and not pinas?

@maryjomarie ..... If it could have been your 2nd time to lodge here in australia then be assured that it will just be for days or a week for your result to come out....we are living in bundoora that's 10 mins drive to preston. And calls from COs are usually done on official office hours so be prepared with your phone in those times. Good luck and God bless

@traveltart What po meaning ng SVP? are you in Subclass 572 also?
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.
maryjomarieSan Pablo City Posts: 9Member Joined: Nov 04, 2015
@danyan2001us No po. It's our first time to lodge a visa. ung agency namin may office dyan sa melbourne pinadala po namin ung docs nung complete na.
Kung first timers po ba saglit lang din?
It's good thing to know po na along the area lang po kayo. I hope mameet po namin kayo when we get there. Very useful po ung mga comments niyo here and sa other threads talagang tinutulungan niyo po kaming mga incoming international students even tapos na kayo sa phase na to. That's why po kaya siguro Blessed kyo ng wife you kc you really help others here.

Hi sis....i can't say whether your processing being a first timer could be quick or not (considering that your papers are processed here)....anyway good luck to your application. Sa pagtulong ko naman, just trying to share also what I received from others when I and my wife were just starting here in Melbourne way back 2010....tumatanaw lang po ng utang na loob at saka share ko din ung blessings na ito to you and to others na nagnanais din na makakarating dito sa Australia. Yan ang prayer ko always na sana we can always promote an atmosphere of helping each other dahil masarap talaga ang feeling natin pag may support group tayo. Good luck again and God bless us all.

@danyan2001us mag long distance call? Kasi i emailed them and also nag chat support kaso humingi ng student id nakukuha kapag ako nag apply online kaso sa idp ako nag submit lahat para sila mag process ng application. Tapo sa FAQ nila kapag sa agency or IDP dw nag apply, hindi ko ma track status. Naiinis lang ako sa agent ko kasi hindi ko alam if expression lang nya ang magsabi ng "i think..." Kasi tuwing tumatawag ako for follow up. Sinasabi nya "oo na forward ko na. Complete na yun...i thnk..."
Hindi ko nlng inaaway baka mas lalo akong ma delay
Fyi tapos na ako medical kanina lang. Naghihintay nlng talaga ng offer letter. Mag 2 weeks ago pa na send application ko

@pc3 hello po. I know you're worried po. Pero if svp po kayo, mabilis lang yung processing. 12 days lang po yung sakin after ma lodge. Idp cebu po kayo diba? Sa pagkakaalam ko po nung nag inquire ako dun, last week of sept, si maam rica lang yung staff. Tapos meron syang assistant. Understaff daw talaga sila. Pwede din daw ako mag apply sa makati. Kaya nag makati nalang po ako.
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.

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.
