    I just want to share un ginawa namin re proof of funds pra po sa mga ngwonder if pwede ba un non-relative as sponsor. In my case, un isang sponsor namin close family friend tpos un father ko. I'm on 572 visa, ang pinass namin affidavit of support, bank certificate and 3 mos bank statement/notarized copy of passbook. Be careful nlng din po dun sa total amount ng proof of funds. Ang nangyari kc sa amin nun una nagsubmit kmi ng proof of funds amounting to 2.5 million pero un ung ending balance. Hindi ko napansin na ang kinoconsider pla nila eh un minimum amount dun sa 3 months statement. Since gumagalaw un pera dun sa mga accounts na sinubmit namin, nun kinompute un minimum amount nagkulang na un total funds na naiconsider.

    We were refused dhil sa insufficient proof of funds. Nwalan na ko ng hope at first. Pero tinry namin uli mgresubmit ng application this time with the correct amount of proof of funds na and thank God naman naapprove na kami. Dun po sa mga narefuse na at first, wag po mawalan ng pag asa. As long as masatisfy mo naman un kulang na docs or kung ano un problem kung bakit ka narefuse nun una, maaapprove naman. Sana po makatulong sa iba. :)

    @yanganne0830 Thanks :) Pag SVP, you are considered as assessment level 1 ng embassy, meaning no need to provide financial docs kasi low-risk applicant ka. Punta ka sa website ng DIAC. Andun ung information regarding this and kung anong mga school ang kasama sa SVP. PM mo sakin email addy mo para add kta sa fb.

    @meveavae yup single pa ko so ako lang magisa. I'm not sure kung may dependents eh ganun pa dn. wala ako idea pero baka meron dito nakapag try na ng ganun. I suggest you read DIAC's info re this as well. Or pa advise ka sa IDP.

    @meveavae if i may answer, confirm po notarized declaration lang ang kelangan if under SVP. I applied under subclass 573 SVP with partner and 3 kids. Wala akong sinubmit na evidence of funds. Declaration lang po. HTH.

    @amedina no need ng sponsor. Financial declaration mo na you have access to funds from an acceptable source that are sufficient to meet course fees, living costs etc. ikaw ang pipirma dun. Hindi kelangan pumirma ng ibang tao, kahit ikaw lang. Papa notarize mo lang un. Ayun lang pinasa ko sa embassy wala ng ibang financial docs kasi nga SVP tayo.

    About the nso/cenomar, in my case naman nagsubmit ako ng original nso copy ng birth certificate kasama sa lahat ng documents that I lodged. Na check naman ng IDP Agent ko yung papers ko wala naman silang sinabi na I need an NSO copy and send it directly sa Embassy via the Nso online, but nabasa ko yan sa Australian embassy in the Philippines website, Kaya I asked din my IDP counselor, sabi niya basta samahan ko daw ng Original NSO copy yung application ko, ok na yun. Here is the link,

    @christa_anna @knight thanks sa pagsagot ng queries! may i know po kung ano course and school kayo enrolled?

    @christa_anna re sa financial declaration, magcompose ka lang ba in your own words or may format po?hindi po ba ito ung parang promissory note given by idp na ichecheck at pipirmahan mo lang?

    @knight partner means hindi pa po kayo kasal? may additional fees po ba na babayaran upon lodging of visa kung may partner? or same lang na 23,900php?
