DIY SV Subclass 500 cost

ioriiori PhilippinesPosts: 31Member
edited January 2017 in Study and Training Visa
sa mga na approved nang Student Visa 500 na nag DIY, magkano po ang nagastos ninyo sa pag process? na feel ko na kasi na ang mahal pag may agent. every move may fee. if only i knew and joined this group/forum before. natakot kasi ako na may ma missed kaya nag agent kami,dalawa pa naman kami ng kapatid ko nag process ng sv. magkano po ang visa fee? 21,500 po ba? mock interview pa na magbabayad na naman sa kanila and assessment fee pa, to think we paid for processing fee na.

    DIY cost, free except for the visa, medical etc. Agree with MissAu, have it process by education agent like IDP etc.

    @MissAu and @agentKams consultancy po yung nalapitan namin. akala namin mapapadali kami. medyo mapapadali nga pero andaming bayarin. pero kami nman gumawa lahat. parang email2x sa amin and upload online lng naman ginagawa nila. may assessment fee pa kaming babayaran at mock interview training fee. we asked if ok lang not to avail the mock kasi alam namn namin about us lang din itatanong and about visa. kaso hindi daw, we should avail daw talaga kasi they will give us sample questions "just in case tawagan kamil" so depende pa yun if mag phone interview kami, kaso pag wala di naman na nila irerefund yun.

    @iori sis sa mga education agent kayo pumunta wag sa mga consultancy, talagang peperahan kayo ng mga iyan. IDP free lang tlga, based sa experience ng mga kakilala ko na. But that is, from start to finish dapat. Pero pag visa assistance ata iyon iyong may bayad na sila, last time i heard 2 years ago was Php10k singil nila.

    @MissAu @agentKams how much po kaya ang visa fee? tama po ba na 21,500? yes po aware naman kami na may medical fee pa etc. kumagat kami sa agent kay discounted daw yung processing fee kasi dalawa naman kami. gosh kung 10k lang pala ang bayad pa assist ni hindi pa nangalahati sa binayaran naming processing fee .. na alarm lang talaga kami kasi para san pa ang another payment for assessment fee? sino mag a-assess and ano ang i-aasess?

    @agentKams how and where to contact IDP po? or AMS? talagang wala kaming idea eh. pasenxa na po talaga.
    and ano po yung dapat start to finish talaga? if ok lang po sis pa
    elaborate ko sana. naiinis na kasi ako dahil atat na atat na ang agency na we should pay na daw the assessment and mock interview fee. i joined this forum to know more sana about what to do pero too late na saka ko nalaman na mas marami pala nag DIY dito and maytutulong naman pala sa school application mismo na direct. Nakuha talaga nila kami sa sinabi nilang "partner school" kemi. gusto pa naman sana namin ng kapatid ko sa Melb kaso they insist na sa NSW kasi nga daw andoon ang partner school nila.

    @iori sis just google IDP Makati, or AMS andun naman lahat ng info. iyong friend ko just got her visa grant thru IDP yesterday, VET course kinuha niya. Ang process ng mga education agent, they will assess your background (work experience, previous degree) and they will inform you options based on that. They will not tell you, dito ka papasok kasi partner school namin, no they will let you choose. Kaya iyang mga consultancy na iyan more on business side tlga sila because lahat ng galaw nila will be money.

    true @agentKams we really thought na ok na yung processing fee, kaso pagkasabi ulit na we will pay for mock training and assessment fee na shock nlng kami kasi para saan ang assessment fee? ano yun? pero yun nga mali namin kasi nauna kami sa agency bago nag research. ang ganda kasi ng ads nila. pero bothered ako kasi if widraw sa agency non-refundable ang processing fee namin. parang dahan2x na naming tatanggapin yun. pero may worries pa kami, diba need mag sign up ng immig account? will it matter if we sign up on our own again. they never mentioned it actually, ang sabi lng nila is silang bahala mag send ng papers namin. when i joined this forum saka ko pa nalaman about immig account. tapos pina fill in na nila sa amin yung immi form and yung form 956A is pina pirmahan lang sa amin kasi sila na daw bahala. pero marami pa kaming kulang na reqs na hindi pa namin pinapasa kasi in doubt kami.

    @agentKams isa pang nakaka panghinayang is, nag ask lang ako ano process ng pagdala ng dependents ko, si hubs and toddler, sabi nila hindi nadaw sila mag process nun, ako nadaw pagka dating ko ng Au kasi nga daw student visa exclusive lang sila. eh isa pa naman sana sa sponsor namin is aunt ni hubs. ayun ang sabi sa akin hindi daw pwde pag apply ko aunt ni hubs ang sponsor. kaya nga sana isasama ko sina hubs and baby para atleast close yun nila hubs.

    @iori hello, ang siste kasi ng mga iyan, unless you paid them saka lang nila ilodge iyan. and all student visa application are done online. kung as an agent sila maglodge on your behalf, pede mo naman ata iimport iyon sa own immiaccount mo just get the transaction/reference number sa kanila.

    if your in doubt sis, trust your instinct.

    @agentKams hindi pa nila inilodge papers namin kasi kulang pa reqs namin, and wala pang letter of confirmation si sis, sabay kasi kami. isa pa hindi pa kami nag babayad ng assessment fee and mock training fee.

    pero we doubt if ibibigay nila ang transaction/reference number sa amin. kasi sa simula pa nga hindi nila ibinigay sa amin ang name ng school kung saan nila kami ilalagay unless we paid the processing fee each.

    parang ginawan lang kami ng immi account and nag upload cguro ng ibang docs na naipasa na namin. tama ba? or pagka upload dapat lodge agad?

    @iori hello sis, hindi ko na matandaan kung iyong pagaattached ng docs eh after payment/lodgement o before payment. ahahahha, pasensya ka na.

    it is not helpful na pati school hindi niyo alam ang pangalan, pano pala pag wala sa cricos list iyang school. sobrang in the dark naman gingawa ng agency niyo. Halos lahat naman ng school dito sa Aus, you can apply online not unless irerequire ka tlga nila na dumaan sa partner nila which alam ko is dominated by IDP lang.

    makakapagpamedical ka lang pag bibigayan ka ng HAPid, which in your case agent niyo lang makkapagprovide.
