@eiwoks_lex subclas 572... may agency ka po? bakit kaya ang tagal

Hi. Yes may agency ako which is Fortrust. Subclass 572 din ako. Sa tingin ko normal naman kasi ang standard processing nga for 572 is 3 months eh. Swerte na lang talaga kung aabot tayo ng intake natin. Yung iba nalelate ng one or 2 wks sa klase and pag di pa din abot, nadedefer na sila for next enrolment. Hopefully umabot tayo.

Observation ko lang is usually lumalabas ang decision sa mga cases katulad natin na less than 3 months before intake na naglolodge is within the same week na ng intake. Nakakanerbyos lang talaga kasi hanggang ngaun wala pa din interview. Goodluck sa atin!

Prayers na lang talaga!

Hello, yung mga nasa OZ na currently taking Bachelor of Nursing... What kind of work yung mga inapplyan nyo? hehe Para lang may idea ko pag nagstart na magjob hunting salamat

Salamat Kuya Dan

. Hayz bat parang ngayon ko lang narealize to kung kelan malapit na ko umalis . Bakit sa Monash University in Melbourne(3 years w/ credits) ako ngenroll hindi sa University of Sunshine Coast in Queensland (2 years w/ credits.) Ang mahal pa naman ng tuition kaya ko lang siya napili dahil nandun tita ko at dun ako tutuloy. Ang tagal kase dumating ng offer email sila ng email na kulang yung documents ko pero sinend na lahat ng agent ko, 2nd week ng November dumating after almost 2 mos waiting .

On the other hand, nagsend agad ng offer yung USC parang kinabukasan lang meron na pero need ko mgtake ng English Course. Sabi ko sa agent ko wait ko muna offer ng Monash, tapos dahil sa tagal dumating nagexpire offer ng USC. Gumawa paraan agent ko para makapasok pa din kung saka sakali sa USC, interviehin daw ako through Skype dahil speaking lang talaga sa ielts mababa ko, anytime naman daw yun pero ako wait pa rin sa Monash. Cons lang pag sa USC ako nagtake, magrerent ako at ang kilala ko lang yung friend ko na nakilala sa review sa IELTS.

Honestly, kahapon ko lang yata napagtanto na 3 years ako mag study w/ credits na yun hinde 2. Kase kadalasan sa nabaabasa ko dito 2 lang. Well, nandya na ala na ko magagawa. Naawa lang din ako sa mommy ko na nasa USA, nahohomesick kase at hindi man lang nya naenjoy yung pera niya puro sa amin. Mabilis lang tong 3 years. Babawi talaga ko sa kanya. Kung pede lang hindi matulog pag bakasyon/holiday work lang ako ng work.

Sorry sa SONA!!! Gusto lang kwento yung katangahan ko? Or sobrang anxious ko lang ngayon dahil malapit na ko umalis

mariellepaula · January 2016

Sino po dito ang subclass 573? May phone interview pa po ba with the embassy?

danyan2001us · January 2016

@danyan2001us start kasi ng coverage ng OSHC ko is on Feb 16 tapos Jan 30 na flight ko to Oz. How much kaya maiincur nun?

that's not much....just be sure to enquire your insurance provider na you are arriving earlier than the original date of your OSHC coverage

@Camille_erica2504 Hi! Holmesglen ka din? My husband is still waiting for the offer letter from holmesglen. May I know kung gano katagal bago nila nasend offer letter sayo? And tinawagan ka ba nila for interview? Hope to hear from you soon. Thanks!

iamlen26 · January 2016

sino dito student visa kasama husband. mga magkano pocket money nyo papuntang Australia.. ung 400,000 pesos kaya good for ilang months or magakno dapat ang pocket koney we are couple and the mag part time din kmi dun sana mabawi lahat.

marchbaby · January 2016

Question po. Sino po dito ang student or naging student sa ULTIMO College or APC, i wanna hear your feedback. I'm torn between 2 institutions, Advance Diploma of Accounting ang course. I got offers from Ultimo and Australian Pacific College. Hindi ko alam san ako mag eenrol. Sa Ultimo duration is just 1.5 years while in APC 3 years. Hindi malinaw sa Ultimo Offer yung course detail pati sa website nila. APC has 4 terms kaya ata mas matagal. When it comes to feedback sa facebook, mas madameng positive feedback ang APC, mas reasonable rin ang tuition sa APC. pero dahil sa duration kaya ako nagdadalawang isip. Sana may makapagbigay ng feedback. Salamat ng marami.

attysarle · January 2016

Any students here from JPIC sa Canberra or UC?

bluestar · January 2016

Hi guys.. Ive been following this thread. And im happy for those who had their visa granted. Ako waiting pa rin. Na acknowledg ng embassy app ko nung dec 23. Until now wla pa rin. Na refused na ako nang student visa under GTE issues. Dahil nd ko inexpect na my interview pala. So bagsak. Hoping this time..

AUstudentwannabe · January 2016

@pc3
hi..i'm just new here but i have read your posts..i really do think that i could relate with you and you're the best person who could advise and support me bec I think, we have the same IDP Cebu agent. I applied to a university in Nov 27, 2015 but until now, I haven't received acknowledgment letter or letter of offer yet. It's been more than a month. I'm already very anxious now that is why i decided to apply to another universities but i haven't heard yet from my counselor if he already submitted my additional applications. Classes are about to start in Feb 29, March 23 and March 26 for the 3 universities but I'm still stuck to step 1.. i don't know what to do..

kwingerz · January 2016

@bluestar kaya yan sis. Prepare kna for interview kc anytime pwede ka twagan tas pray ng pray... sobrang effective.

Let's hope ma grant na the soonest possible ang lahat ng waiting. Keep the faith.

bluestar · January 2016

@kwingerz thank you sa support.

meron ba dito same issue sa akin? Tanong sana ako about interview baka mas mahirap sa pangalawang interview?

eiwoks_lex · January 2016

@bluestar

Ako po nageexpect din ng interview pero sana wala na hehe. To prepare, sinulat ko na lahat ng possible questions and ginawan ko na ng sagot lahat to make sure na spontaneous ako at di kabahan. Gagamitin ko lng un as guide habang iniinterview. Dala ko lagi sa bag ko para prepared tlga..mga apat na page yun LOL.

bluestar · January 2016

@eiwoks_lex sana nga wala na interview. pinipray ko talaga yun. Hahaha meron din ako dito notes peru kinakabahan pa rin. Feeling ko kac kulang pa din. Hehehe peru pinipilit kong mging positive. Hehehe

eiwoks_lex · January 2016

Parang kadalasan ang visa decision/grant lumalabas ng Monday.. napansin ko lang

Sana sa next monday, lumabas na ung sakin o kaya sa next monday. Waaa. January 25 ang orientation ko and Feb1 na ang intake ko.

pc3 · January 2016

@AUstudentwannabe hello. I suggest you look fro other options since you haven't gotten any offer letter or at least an acknowledgment letter from your application. Might as well ask your agent or request for a different counselor. But if all else fails, maybe you can look up your university's website and check if they have any other affiliated agencies. I also received a private message from one of the members here and confirmed that we had the same counselor. I am not sure if the problem is with him alone or the entire system. My assumption re the similar situation/s is that IDP is usually the primary choice for future students and they might be really queued with a lot of applicants as of the moment. I am just dissatisfied from my counselor since he's not transparent about my application...worst, he lied about submitting it for 1 month and it was confirmed by a different counselor. He never apologized and didn't reply to any emails at all. Anyway, if I were you, I suggest to call him frequently or look for a back up agency. Whoever responses quickly or submits first, would be your agency of choice. When I transferred to AMS, I was able to catch up and process my application in a span of 3 weeks only.

or try confronting your counselor if your application can catch up with the scheduled intake. My friend processed her application on January last year and she was able to catch up the Feb intake. Just prepare ahead all necessary docs so that you can swiftly submit it when an offer or reply comes. That's what I did. I suggest you take your medical ahead at NHSI Cebu

once an offer arrives, mostly, everything will follow through smoothly!

Hi everyone! Baka meron po dito for La Trobe University this coming February na wala pang accomodations. Wala padin po kami but interested to team up with other students to find houses up for rentals. Let me know po.

My wifey is a product of feduni and it is not expensive compared to other institutions and one good thing is that after spending one semester with them, you can settle your next tuition fees on an installment basis
