3 kami (me/wiffey and our son) needed namin was 2.7M then ginawa namin instead of putting it in our "savings". We made our parents as sponsors (affidavit of support) their passbook was 15yrs old even if around 400k lang laman. Aside from the money, we have also shown properties. So even if di umabot to 2.7M ang pera but showed that meron properties and meron active/passive income. We didn't have any problems.
tapos na wiffey ko for her 2 years (3 years but 1 year was taken off due to being a RN in the philippines).
Nasa Darwin kami, out of the 4 semesters only 1 semester ang nabayaran namin with our own salary here. Kaya utang ko sa pamilya ko was 16k++ (1st sem with 3k health cover), 10.5k 2nd sem, 11.5k 3rd sem. So yan ang babayaran namin pag maka full time na ako.
next step for us do our graduate visa and bring our son over.
Good luck guys

We (our sponsors) showed them that they can support us when we stayed here.
We have overwhelming documents that has history that is difficult to fabricate and can be verified IF ever they will try to call the bank/government institution.
she is already done her studies and ready na kami sa next step getting the 485 visa.
Hirap talaga maging student (I didn't pressure her to do work if don't want to, she only started to work on the long school break and that even di nya nakaka full time due din sa work nya na di sya binibigyan ng full roster) So our sponsors have to pay for 3 semesters. Yung sweldo ko enough lang din for weekly rent, food, fuel. So sa 2years namin yung naiipon namin enough lang for the 4th and final semester.
So good luck on your start.
P.S. If you do use "show money" don't call it that para di kayo mamali when you are asked.

Student visa (subclass 500) (i think)
BS in Nursing (3yrs but we got it to 2 years)
Wala ako family here in australia, yes my parents are in the philippines.
Yes ask both of them to be your sponsors much better kasi if you have more sponsors. Mas malaki na madali lang kayo ma approve agad kasi nandito yung hubby's relative. This will also shows that both side of the family will support you for your endeavor here.
yep pagawa lang ng letter of affidavit of support and mga financial documents (properties, passive/active income)
With a toddler mas mahirap (kasi di makapag work and you have to make sure meron magbabantay sa anak nyo) yun reason bakit iniwan muna namin anak namin (He will graduate next month grade 6) But if you have enough funds then mas maganda pa din buoo kayo pag pumunta dito.
Good luck!
