Student Visa (Step by step)

chobie · May 2013

Here's my timeline:

May 06 - Student Visa lodged personally at VIA Centre Makati
May 07 - Application received by AU Embassy
May 08 - Notification for Medical Exam
May 09 - Medical exam done at Nationwide Makati
May 17 - Medical exam results forwarded to AU Embassy

.... Waiting

My IRON program will commence on June 6th at AAON and I'm required to be there at least 3 days before the commencement.

I haven't received any information on who my case officer is as well.

I'm worried =(

chobie · May 2013

Called up DIAC and they said my medical results have been forwarded to AU and dun inaassess. I asked for my case officer and nasa meeting daw. Try ko daw call ulit tomorrow. Sana ok lang results

chanel07 · May 2013

@chobie thanks. Kasi the last time, puro recorded messages lang kasi and they'll tell u at the end na magemail nalang. Thank you so much. Sa july, pero may orientation this june na kasi.

Update: i just called them a few minutes back, wala padin sumasagot.. Ill call them again later. Btw, when i phoned the embassy parang sa fax na line yun. Ok lang ba talaga tumawag dun? Hehehe

@franz25 anong course pala kukunin mo? Yung bp mo medyo mataas nga.

chanel07 · May 2013

@chobie tinawagan kaba nung binigyan ka ng co?

bbgirl · May 2013

Hi all. Until now sila pa din po silang update sa school di na di nagrereply ang IDP. Meron po bang nakaranas ng ganito?

chobie · May 2013

@chanel07 Hi. I wasn't given the details of my CO yesterday when I called. But my CO called me up this morning directly and informed me she will be assessing my application today. Only thing prolonging the wait she says is the assessment of my medical exam results in Sydney, which could take up up to 8 weeks! O_o

So I told her if pwede irequest to prioritize my application since I should be in Melbourne by June 3, 2013. She said yun yung ibibring up niya today. Hoping for the best.

chobie · May 2013

@bbgirl Try calling your school directly by phone.

chanel07 · May 2013

@chobie thank you.

chanel07 · May 2013

@bbgirl try to call or email them. Also, kulitin mo ang idp. For now, iready mo na lahat ng requirements kasi malamang, magpapasched kpa ulit sa idp pra mkapagsubmit ng requirements. Good luck!

I
Yup BSN 1year conversion sa Flinders Uni packaged w/ elicos in Adelaide South Aus.

Actuallt tumaas lng yung BP konung nagpamedical then referred na agad sa MOC yung health assessment pero 120/ 90 nm regular ko na bp

franz25 · May 2013

chanel07 · May 2013

@franz25 ano ba yang streamlined na yan? 14 working days since na lodge yung application? Or 14 days since natanggap yung medical? Kasi kanina pko tawag ng tawag walang sumasagot.. Nakakaniyerbyos pla to. The last time I called SLEC wala nmn daw problem sa medicals ko. I dunno whats taking them so long.
