iya · February 2020

Hi! Pwede bang maging sponsor for student visa yung tita na australian citizen? Thank you po sa sasagot.

xiaolico · February 2020

question, may friend ako na gusto mag aral sa au. i dont know if i will advise my friend if tumuloy or not. may success stories ba diyan ng student visa tas naging PR eventually? 35 na friend ko. may success story ba na medyo recent, like 2010 onwards? parang hirap ng pinagdadaanan ng mga student visa kasi. ok naman life ng friend ko sa pinas, pero syempre, could be better. wala siya direct path to PR kasi.

marami kami dito sa forum from student to PR. started our journey 2015, mahirap tlga sa umpisa dahil may condition ang visa. pag 35 medyo risky na, at naghahabol pa ng points but then again iba iba circumstance natin pag andito na sa Australia. ano background ng friend mo?

@xiaolico marami stories of students na naging PR dito sa AU. Usually, stepping stone lang yung pagiging student to prepare for PR visa. 35 pa lang naman friend mo and pwede naman i-habol yung points sa ibang criteria but of course depende pa din sa profession ng friend mo.

Consult a well reputed agent. they know the workarounds and will advise you the right things to do. usually, libre lang naman consulting. and it's better to consult na din rather than giving false hopes sa friend mo.

Hindi po. Dapat kong when nag start yong class mo that's the time na pwedi ka ng mag work. I arrived 4 days before my class so hindi pa me pwedi makahanap ng work unless nagsstart na yong class ko. What to do first is to create TFN, create a bank account, call your OSHC provider if you have your address to live na. Gala muna because if you have work you would have lesser time to gala na. Hahahahahaha.

mumofLiam · February 2020

Hi mga sis / bro. Baka may naka experience sa inyo din neto.

The last time I checked my immi acct (I think 2-3days ago), nasa "further assessment" na tpos 19 - 48days. Then I checked my account just now, naging 28 - 48days na sya, huhu. Lodged my visa on 11 Feb 2020.

unicayen · February 2020

Hello guys! magtatanong lang, meron po ba dito couple na kumuha ng OSHC separately? I mean individual/single. Costly kasi pag couple insurance

Salamat sa reply. Wala naman ba naging issue o problema? Kasi plan namin kumuha ng husband ko ng single nalang. May mga nagsasabi kasi na magkakaproblema later on sa billing. May issue na hindi daw icocover ng insurance ung bill kapag couple tpos single policy lng yung kinuha. Dunno how true

hmm alam ko depende po sa insurance provider e. si Bupa mahigpit not sure po sa iba. kaya lumipat kami ng cbhs. pero so far di pa kasi nagcclaim yung partner ko kaya di ko rin masabi kung magkakaproblem kami. pero nakapagpacheckup naman ako and wala naman issue so far.

MimyxSwan · February 2020

Hello po! I just want to ask if there's a chance for me to get a Student Visa if I apply to a non-university institution, specifically New Era Institute? I am planning to process my Student Visa with a help of an agency. It would cost a lot of money po kasi so I'm very skeptical with what I should do first or what steps should I take. I really need an advise po and I would really appreciate it if I can get some advise from you. Congratulations pala sa lahat na na-grant ang student visa!

hi team, pwde bang mg.enroll ng middle of the year?

lilith12 · April 2020

Hello. Just wondering if anyone here can give me an advice on this topic in regards to student visa. This may or may not be the right place. My sister is in her 3rd semester studying in Australia. Unfortunately she failed 2 subjects in the last 2 semesters so she needs to extend her stay in Oz to finish those 2 subjects instead of graduating by the end of this year after she completes her 4th semester. I understand that there is no such thing as student visa renewal or extension in Australia but I want to know our options weather she needs to apply for another visa or what not. Please note that she wants to work while studying. Another dilemma is that if we do apply for another student visa, she won't be able to do a full time semester per se cos she's only doing 2 subjects ( you need to do 4 for it to be considered full time) and that is a requirement to obtain another student visa. Please don't refer an immigration agent. That is our very last resort. At the moment, we are trying to figure this all out ourselves. I have looks all over the web for any information but I have come up with none, hence I am posting this in this thread. If you know another thread that can answer my question then please do send me a link. Thank you very much in advance.

hello friends! may mai-aadvise ba kayo na cost efficient schools or institutions , para sa MBA+MPH (Masters in Business Admin and Masters in Pubic Health) ? I am a PHRN with minimial experience sa hospital setting, and mostly administrative work ang history ng jobs ko kaya MBA+MPH ang kukunin ko. Now alam naman naten lahat na ang mahal talaga pag mag student, baka lang meron kayong mai-advise na cost efficient schools para makatulong sa expenses kahit papano...... ? Ung sa Torrens Uni and Kaplan Business School so far ang nakikita kong mura na schools na pwedeng pasukan, pero nag rrange pa din sya ng 300k per sem. (trisem for 2yrs).

goku_son · June 2020

Hello guys, need advice. I was on Post grad visa 485 and na-expire na nung Feb 2020. So nag contact kami ng agent na taga AEAS (Australian Education Advisory Services) to help us with student visa dahil nga po wala pa kami invitation for PR. Nag-send ng invoice si Ms Vida Fernandez saken and nagbayad ako kasama na dun yun Student Health Cover namin dalawa ng partner ko, initial pay sa tuition fee and processing fee sa immi.

Nung April 2020, nag email samin yun school na hindi daw kami bayad sa initial pay tuition and mag co-commence na so need na mag pay. Kinontak nami si Ms Vida, and ayun na sort-out niya naman after 3 times namin mag email sakanya. Tapos yun health insurance card naman, 1 lang dumating. Wala sa partner ko. So pina-asikaso na namin sakanya nung April 29 pa. Sabi niya don't worry daw kasi dependent lang naman partner ko and i-sort-out niya with her accountant.

Na approve na student visa namin nun May 7. Tinawagan ko yun BUPA para sendan kami ng health insurance card ng partner ko, pero wala daw. 3 times namin tinawagan pero ang advice samin contact-in daw yun agent. Kahit na Membership Number lang daw hingiin namin. Tapos nagkakaltas sa card namin automatic yun Visitors Health Insurance dahil nga hindi pa na apply sakanila yun student health insurance ni partner. Di daw nila pwede i cancel. Ang gastos! Si Ms Vida naman, hindi nag rereply sa email kahit tawagan. Na-meet namin siya nung June 12 sa Blacktown nung namimigay siya ng relief goods sa student and sinabe namin yun concerns, sabi niya lang i-sort out niya daw kasi 2 days lang sila sa office dahil sa COVID. Yun iba naman agent sa AEAS sini-sendan ko din ng email para help kami, puro lang i-forward daw nila kay Ms Vida. Mag July na pero wala pa rin. Puro follow up lang reply. Pinagpapasa pasahan lang ako. Wala man lang email back si Ms Vida kung ano nagawa niya to follow up.

Ano po dapat ko gawin? May mapag re-reportan po ba ako?
Kung may balak po kayo mag pa assist wag sa AEAS dahil kahit nun time na ma expire na Temporary Visa namin, nagbayad kami early sakanila at nagawa yun SOP ng maaga pero inassist kami nung kinabusakan ma expire na talaga. Grabe anxiety ko dahil di namin siya ma-contact. Galing po ako sa AMS Global nun initial student visa ko at yun partner ko sa Fortrust PH pero sila ang bilis mag reply ng agents and very accomodating sila. Thanks sa sasagot.

lunarcat · June 2020

Thanks for the heads up po. We'll take note of that agency and sabihin ko na din sa mga classmates ko dito. Do you have other contact sa agent niyo po like phone number or email? Any way that you can go to their office and escalate your case sa head mismo? Let's be vigilant po lalo na ngayon nagsilabasan na mga scammer. Hope you'll sort this out po.

goku_son · June 2020

Ayun lang kasi hindi ko kilala sino ang head nila. Kapag nag message ako sa facebook puro lang "We will forward your message to Ms Vida." Sobrang rude pa ng assistant niya na Vince ang name, nung tinatawagan galit pa bakit daw kami tawag ng tawag. Haay. Sinabe ko na rin sakanila na ibalik nalang pera at ako mag apply mismo pero wag daw ako mag alala kasi di naman daw ma approve yun student visa namin kung wala sila inapply. Oo nga naman, pero bakit pag natawag kami sa Bupa wala name ng partner ko. Hindi man lang nila inisip yun situation ngayon. Next week July na magkakaltas na naman sa card namin yun Visitors Health insurance.

lunarcat · June 2020

Sorry to say this pero di ko nilalahat. Kapwa Pinoy din ang humihila sa atin pababa. Do you have their office address po? Some offices are back to operation naman. Same din ng friend ko di pa na approve yong student visa nila (de facto) dami pa requirements. Sa isang agency din sila nag apply not sure sa name. Hirap naman kase to sort this out if walang help mismo sa involved na tao. Agent ba yan si Ms. Vida? Hope talaga na maging okay na yong case niyo Sir para hindi madeduct yong visitors health insurance niyo po. Delay din kase approval kahit onshore application dahil sa Covid.

Balak ko po sana if maging okay makauwi ng Pinas mag civil wedding po kami ng boyfriend ko and makuha ko po siya dito sa Au with me. We’ve been together for more than 12 years so we plan na po mag settle down next year. Sana may makatulong! Maraming salamat po and Keep safe all!!
