edited August 2012 in Study and Training Visa
Hi, guys. Sino sa inyo nakapag apply nito after ng study? Talaga bang 2 years dapat yung duration mg study para maging eligible dito? Kasi yung sa akin 3 years suppose to be since credited ibang subjects ko naging 1 year na. I just want to have high hopes after my study na in case di makahanap ng sponsor pupuede ako dito or sa bridging visa. Hehe.

    Automatic po ba pagkatapos ng Bridging Visa, mabibigyan na rin kayo ng PR visa? O pahirapan pa rin?

    @Yukishih

    Hi sa nabasa ko for your enquiry.....ang qualify for bridging visa ay yong mga na imbitahan na na ng DIAC at mag lodge na ng application nila (that's after submission of EOI then ma imbitahan yong EOI nnyo)..so ang pathway student visa- 485 or graduate skilled visa-EOI- if positive lodge ng application within 60 days upon receiving the invite from DIAC at pag makalodge na pwede na maqualify for the bridging visa while processing of a new visa is ongoing at mag expire yong substantive na visa (485)....

    excited for my wife's conclusion of her studies by June this year....hopefully accountant would still be included in SOL.....my hope is that it would still be there considering the recent stand of those accountants' bodies and the recent revenue by the OZ government from all those international accounting students.....anyway wait and see guys.....

    Hi @danyan2001us, thank you so much for your reply :) I checked the link pero wala akong nabasa na pwede siya for graduates of subclass 572 visa. It only mentioned graduates of bachelor's, master's or doctoral degree. Iyong cousin ko kasi narefuse dati sa 572, so iniisip niya mag-apply ulit pero 573 (SVP) na to take advantage of this post-study work arrangement.

    Yap, bale 2 sila ng husband niya, pero plan ng cousin ko mag-bachelor course, not Masters. I'll ask her kung gusto niya or if she's eligible for master's degree. Graduate kasi siya ng Bachelor of Commerce dito sa atin. Thanks for the suggestion :)

    @rinbee ..ok ..i would suggest brod na masters kukunin nya dahil hindi naman ganong kalaki ang diperensya sa tuition....like sa bachelors ay 6k$ a semester then sa masters kay 9,000$ pero ang masters naman ay unlimted work rights ang dependent so ang laki ng diperensya

    Hi!

    After completion of a 2-yr. course in AU under student visa 572. I am interested to lodge for a Temp. Working visa 485, which takes 12 months to process (DIBP info).

    Would like to ask po sana if anyone out there knows the answers to my questions:

    1. Will the bridging Visa granted to you when you apply for Grad. Work Visa 485 allow you to work? Full-time or part-time? Sabi kase sa DiBP website, only if you can prove that you are in hardship (masyado atang gray area yun).

    2. If I have my kids with me, are they allowed to study under a bridging visa given while waiting for visa 485?

    Thank you po!

    @coleen ...hi ..you are allowed to work full time when you are on a bridging visa A (while waiting for the outcome of your application of 485 graduate temporary visa)....and with regard to your kids' education, they are allowed to study as stated in your 572 visa condition. Meanwhile, ang pagprocess ng bridging visa is usually between 6 months to 1 year so kailangan nong magpatuloy mabayad sa school fees on this waiting period. And once your 485 graduate temporary visa is approved, you must provide documents to the school on these changes. Hope this helps.
