criselvillares · September 2017

@redfox8 not yet. still waiting for my IELTS result.

dval · September 2017

@redfox8 Do they require a minimum clinical experience before admission in bachelor of nursing?

redfox8 · September 2017

@dval i don't think so. You just have to fill up the forms they have on their website for international students. they'll need your resume too and other requirements.

redfox8 · October 2017

hello!!!!
I just checked my immiaccount today!!! Good news guys! VISA GRANT NA together with my husband..!

Here's my timeline:
IELTS exam - December 10 2016
IELTS result - December 23, 2017
Submitted docs to different Unis - choices are:
1. Deakin U - filled up forms, submitted SOP and other req - after 1-2 days - LETTER
OFFER received(madali lang po kumuha sa Deakin ng offer letter basta complete
requirements) 2 yrs na usually icredit sa previous study.
- didn't accept kasi super expensive. 1 yr is not enough para macover ung expenses.

2. Academia - for aged care 3& 4 (1 yr and 6 mos) - triny ko kasi mas cheaper ang
tuition fees pero hassle kasi ininterview pa ako. Bakit ako magshift sa aged care kung
nursing tinapos ko, and dami pinarequire sa kin. Lalo dun sa paggawa ng SOP. kaya in
the end, hindi ko din tinuloy.

3. Victoria Uni - unang choice ko ever since nagdecide ako magapply. Pabago-bago lang
ako. ANyway, una ko nareceive nung nagpass ako ng requirements, is Conditional
letter offer - kelangan ko lang ma satisfy ung conditions before unconditional letter is
offered. And ung condition is ung showing of financial capacity. Pagtiyagaan nyo lang
kung interested kayo kasi marami lang forms na ifi-fill-up. Ung pag credit nila ng
previous study, hindi basta-basta. May ifi-fill up na form and then mag sa-submit ka
talaga ng Course Syllabus. Hindi rin listed ung school as SVP (streamline visa
processing) kaya may evidence of financial capacity ka na ipapakita.
One of the least expensive schools kaya ko nagustuhan and mas malapit siya sa
residence ng tita ko. Before 11800 AUD per sem ang tuition. Nagtaas na for 2018
naging 12700 na. Same sila ng ACU (Australian Catholic Uni) na mababa ang tuition. Sa
iba kasi aabot ng 30-31k AUD for 1 year. Eh sa kanila is 24-25k lang. Sayang pa rin
yung almost 5k di ba?

Unconditional OFFER letter from Vic Uni - August 21, 2017
- with package ako ng english for 10 weeks kasi ung writing is 6.0. Ok naman yung iba
Reading - 8, Listening - 9, Speaking- 7. Kung nag 6.5 lang sana atleast ung writing.
Yun kasi required dun sa Vic Uni wala dapat bababa sa 6. Hay anyway move on na..
- total payment is 23,935.
12700 for 1st sem
7735 for OSHC (dual)
3300 for EAP ( English)

Paid tuition fee - September 13, 2017
- via BPI ako. Bale humanap pa kami money changer na mababa ang bili kasi via AUD
namin babayaran. Mejo hassle po ito, umabot ng 2 weeks. everyday kami bumibili ng
dollar. Yung iba kasi money changer wala ganun kalaki amount. Sa NAILAS money
changer address is 1741 A Mabini st Malate Manila, mas mababa ung offer nila sa
pagbili ng AUD as compared to other money changers. Kung interested lang kayo.
- bank transaction fee total ng binayaran ko sa BPI is 45 AUD. Lahat lahat na yun. Wala
na ring ibabawas ang bank sa Australia. Kaya total binayara ko is 23980 AUD.

Submitted telegraphic transfer form and signed acceptance letter offer - Sep. 13, 2017
eCOE received - September 14, 2017
Application created in Immiaccount
for Health Assessment - September 14 2017 (gabi ko
ginawa)
Medical done at St Lukes - September 15, 2017
- total paid P15, 658 (6000 sa husband ko) P9,658(sa kin kasi for HIV testing din ako)
ganun talaga if for student visa -Nursing.

Submitted other docs to IDP via email - September 19, 2017
- updated SOP ( sa kin) and SOP (husband), updated bank certificate/statements,
updated resume, financial declaration (notarized) that I have access to funds.

for Health re-evaluation -husband - September 26, 2017
- nagemail sa kin ang BMVS (Bupa Medical from Australia) na further info is required
before it can be determined that you meet the health criteria for entry to Australia, so
in short, yung further eval na ginawa is repeat XRAY .
- health assessment ko sabi sa immiaccount - NO ACTION REQUIRED, si husband is
FURTHER EVALUTION

Appointment set at IDP - September 26, 2017
- dinala ko lahat ng documents ko. Original with photocopy. Chineck lahat ni ma'am.

VISA Lodge and submitted via Immiaccount - September 26, 2017 (gabi)
- and paid 989 AUD via credit card

For repeat Xray husband - September 29, 2017
- After 3 days ko na pinabalik. Pinainum ko talaga ng mga vitamins at juice na rich in
antioxidants. Bumili ako ng 4 life RIOVIDA at 4 life transfer factor plus (cenxa na sa
pagpromote) maganda lang talaga products nila. Hindi ko sure kung nakatulong ito
nung nagrepeat xray siya. na CLEAR naman siya. or baka wala naman talaga nakita
nung initial xray niya.

*everyday tuwing umaga nagchecheck ako sa immiaccount. Wala pa rin status... kasi nga di ba usually aabot talaga ng 15-30 days. Kinakabahan ako kasi NOV 2 na ung orientation date ko sa English, akala ko talaga hindi ako aabot. NOV 6 ang start ng klase pero kelangan makaatend ka ng orientation date. and then this morning..,

VISA GRANT - October 4, 2017
- hindi ako nagcheck ng Oct 4, not knowing na meron na pala.!!! Grabe.! 1week lang
ung processing ko.. Hindi ko talaga ineexpect.;)) Probably siguro, complete yung
requirements ko and na meet siguro ung financial capacity.
- yesterday same date din na receive ung health assessment ni husband na NO
ACTION REQUIRED.
- Bale ang financial capacity ko ito para may idea kayo.
1.2M - bank namin ni husband
1 M - bank ni mama
- ung ibang bank cert ko na sinubmit for example sa BDO, 500k un kaso wala na
talaga yung certain amount na yun, 3k na lang ata. nagamit na kasi sa pangtuition.
Ang confirm lang talaga na meron sa min sa isang bank is 1.2M
- then nag submit ako ng financial docs ng tito ko (payslips, COE, bank statement
kung saan hinuhulog ung sahod niya, passport, birth cert.)
- financial docs tita ko sa australia (statutory dec nila, passport ng tita and
husband niya, birth cer, marriage cert, ITR ng tito ko) ung bank statement nila,
sep 2016 pa yun, hindi na ko nakakuha ng latest, pero sinubmit pa rin yung luma.
anyway ang total lang nun is 9k AUD. Siyempre hindi ko na binilang yun sa proof
of funds ko. Basta sinubmit lang.
- financial docs ni mama (affidavit of support, business infom-DTI, business
permit, etc, birth cert, marriage cert., ITR)

* so yun lahat guys ang ginawa ko.. sana makatulong sa inyo. via IDP po ako. may ifil-up ka na form na 956 A. ung educational agent mo ang magifil-up ng iba dun. ang importante ung info mo lang den signature. ung iba si ma'am na nagfil-up. IDP rin nagattach lahat ng documents ko sa Immiaccount. Chineck niya yung ginawa ko, SAVE mo na, hindi submit, kasi pag sinubmit mo na yun finalized na xa. den binigay ko yung log-in info and password kay Ma'am. September 26 afternoon, natapos niya na lahat i-attach. den Sep 26 evening nagsubmit na ako ng visa application.

KUNG MAY QUESTION KAYO GUYS, don't hesitate to ask me;) Malaki din naitulong ng forum na to sakin. Anyways, i hope you'll be granted a visa too -!
