    @Waiting101 no idea ako about relodging and appeal.. pero if I may suggest, you can try the iron program ng aphra so you can enroll for bachelor in nursing which is less complicated sa mga certificate/diploma programs

    @Waiting101 I'm sorry this is not very helpful pero same with what @se29m said, it's better to go with your qualification. Since nurse ka naman, "nursing" is the safest pathway. Maybe afterwards you can pursue post-grad courses so then you can specialize sa area na gusto mo talaga like Pediatric Care. Wish you all the best po!

    Everyone, sorry this reply is a bit late. I was refused only for financial ground reasons. Cited were, the fund wasn't 3 mos mature so it was considered as 0aud dollars. I opened the account dec2015 and requested for the bank certificate just days right after opening early january2016. (sometimes it pays to read. My bad i only got the time to read after lodging. Then was the time that i realized that i should've passed an updated bank certificate. Although the money wasn't withdrawn in any amount, (i had 1M as show money) in april when i lodged they solely depended on the bank certificate since it was the only financial supporting document i had. On that note, she mentioned that she automatically disregarded my show money. The other one was that i lacked proof for the presented fund since i only had the bank certificate. It indicated that i should have passed atleast a bank statement and passbook. There were no gte issues mentioned. Nothing about the course or about any doubts of it so to say. Kuya @danyan2001us and the people who were helpful during the times when i was really lost in my thoughts and in confusion,your answers to my queries was really helpful. Thank you so much! So now i'm going back to be working in the hospital and deferred my intake reconsidering it on october. I'll just be waiting for the new rule implementation and will see by then if i can stretch my possibilities to still get back on track and pursue my studies in oz.

    Hi mga kababayan? Nakakamiss yung ganito na nag-aabang abang lang sa forum. Pero guys, tedious ang process ng student visa. Every step is crucial. From applying ng uni---to provision of evidence/documents hanggang sa lodging. Kaya always keep in mind na mag seek ng help. Magtanong lang ng magtanong marami naman people na very helpful. ❤️ If you need anything, post lang dito or Personal message nyo kaming mga nasa OZ na para ma boost confidence nyo

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

    Hi Everyone! Our student visa was approved yesterday! It was supposedly a 14days process but it took us 2mos and 2days to finally get the visa! Di parin ako mkapaniwala after what happened, will update my timeline later on! This was really a breath taking process for us, we almost lost our faith but God was really good and now looking back, I realized He was there with us while getting through this! Goodluck on other applications, I will be more than happy to help and if u need professional assistance, I would really recommend this company, Purita Binghay and Co, they have been with us all through out and endured the tedious process with us! God bless us all

    Good morning po, I'm new to this forum but I have been reading a fair bit about getting a student visa.

    My situation is that my dad, who is my sponsor, is a retired seaman and I was told na they don't have any ITR. We also don't have business, so wala din kame ma papakita na papers proof from BIR. My question is, is there any other way to show them my dad's financial status na pwedeng substitute sa requirements nila? Thank you!
