    @jhoney

    tama si caiomhe above na no need proof of funds ang Deakin University since it belongs to the SVP (streamlined visa processings) institutions then in that case i assess ka na belong ka sa Assessment level 1..meaning you will have less evidentiary documents at saka you still has to prove na may access ka sa funds mo....good luck sis.....

    by the way @danyn2001us, what do you mean when you said i still need to prove that i can access my funds?
    i dont have a big sum of money on my bank accounts, my uncle who is an Australian citizen will be sponsoring me studies. do you think that i should really have the funds on my account pa???

    I haven't applied yet. I just wanted to ask so that I would know if I should ask for help from an agency.
    hi @born!

    did you apply ba on your own lang? or do you have an agent in applying?

    Hi all, 573- SVP po ang iaapply kong visa. I have proof of funds to submit. Nakakapagtaka bakit no need of proof of funds? Anyway, Im a Deakin Student here. Will lodge my application this coming week. Not lower of 6.0 po dapat and depende po sa course of study mo ang IELTS result. Makakaabot ka pa naman sa Feb intake sa tingin ko.

    Paanong proof to access funds? Do we need an affidavit? :)

    hi,

    i don't think na nneed talaga to have those funds in your account...just liek the case of my wife when she applied for her masters in professional accounting last year..ang sponsor nya ay yong tita ng friend niya na pinay pero citizen na dito...ang ginawa ng tita ng friend niya gumawa ng affidavit of support at sa document na yon binanggit lang na may access si mrs sa funds nila sa banko dito sa melbourne at pagkatapos pinapirmahan sa police..na ok na siya....strong din yang sponsor mo dahil nga relative (uncle mo)..so request him to make an affidavit of support and then submit rin yong bank statement....good luck sis.....

    Hi bbgirl, may ishare ako sa iyo na link tungkol doon sa proof of funds hope this will be of help to you.....http://www.uow.edu.au/content/groups/public/@web/@unia/documents/doc/uow122378.pdf.....kasama sa nakalagay dyan ang statement na ito...."will only have to declare access to funds, not prove funds held for a period of
    time in a bank account or similar"....para yan sa mga institutions na kasali sa SVP (streamlined visa processing) like Deakin Uni.....pero sa iyo na may proof of funds mas ok pakiramdam mo di ba? yon sa access to funds, yes ask ka lang ng affidavit of support sa sponsor mo at ang bank statement nya.....

    @jhoney anong course mo ba? Kapag lower ka sa expected nila dun ka ata nila bibigyan ng conditional offer na mag take ka ng english course.

    if BSN: IELTS overall score of 7 with no individual band score less than 7.

    Sa akin kasi BSIT: Overall IELTS score of 6.0 with no band less than 6.0 (or equivalent).

    @dft: Wala na po. Ano IELTS result mo? Overall ko 7.

    ok na yang mga sponsor mo dahil related nga sa iyo..kay mrs nga last year tita lang ng friend niya (hindi related sa amin), pero siguro dahil masters yong kuha nya at ta;os na siya dito ng Advanced Diploma of Accounting sa Northern Melbourne Institute of Technology so maybe that could have been one of the factors....at saka ang pinas din kasi ay assessment level II din ang University of Ballarat ang school niya ay SVP member din....anyway ok na yang sa iyo sis....

    @Born i suggest you go to IDP. education agent sila na free ang services. they will help you from your application to school until sa visa processing. they know what to do so di ka na mawawala sa process. masisiguro mo pa na complete ang requirements mo since they will check and assess every document you submit. even the forms you fill out, isa-isang tinitingnan mga sagot kung complete na ba. i had a hassle-free experience with them so i really recommend IDP.

    I'll share my experience with IDP. I went to their Makati office last year pa, then I asked them if I can get a PR after my studies, I was told that they only process student visa. That time kasi search mode pa ako noon, in short aanga anga pa. So ang reaction ko, bakit pa ako mag agency. Research pa rin sa mga schools, compare tuition fees and courses being offered. Early this year I applied on line to CSU, after two weeks saka pa lang nila naacknowledged yung application ko and requested some documents. After a month of hearing nothing, I followed up. To cut the story short, after 3 months of waiting they refused my application. I panicked, school application pa lang rejected na, what more if visa application na.

    I searched, read and asked. Because of Pinoyau, i learned a lot about IDP and nabago yung first impression ko. So i went back to their office, I listened then I followed their instructions. Another thing, do not question their expertise, ako rin nagtaka kung bakit yun lang ang documents na sinubmit ko when i lodged my application.
