Student Visa (Step by step)

iheartoz · September 2013

@kulay17 ang advantage ng SVP, affidavit of financial declaration lang ang requirement. no evidence of funds necessary. so, that's one problem off your list.

Good morning all… last night my husband and I had a shock of our lives when we realized na madedelay ung processing nmin…
Ung NSO marriage certificate kasi nmin bears the wrong birth place for husband. So ngayon nung tumawag kme sa Philippine Embassy Singapore, ang sbe if we can file for Petition for Correction of Entry BUT the processing time will kill us! Ung PE officer hindi makapag commit ng timeline sakin over the phone… nag-research ako online and nagtanong tanong sa mga kamag-anak nmin sa pinas and they all told us the same thing - 4-6 months daw huhuhuhu…
Iniisip na lang nmin…nothing JUST happens. I wouldn’t take this as a “NO” from God. Siguro, pinaghihinay hinay nya lang din kme…
Now, hindi nmin alam kung mag direct migration process ba kme or student visa pa din when that time comes na OK na ung NSO marriage cert namin. We will just let God lead the way… nakaka-stressed din pala magasikaso ng BIG goals like this.

@TinerBebi why, are you eligible to apply for migrant visa? if you have that option, why not go that way? magastos ang student. ang goal mo rin naman is maging migrant in the future. shortcut na lang kung pwede naman, di ba?

matagal talaga pagkaganyan. pero di ba pwedeng magsubmit ng certification lang na nasa process of change yung birth place ng husband mo sa marriage certificate ninyo? baka pwede. baka tanggapin ng embassy for the purpose of applying for student visa lang. para sa akin kasi, di naman yun yung info na kelangan nila. proof lang naman na married ka to the person. try mo lang siguro ask, wala namang mawawala. unless, natanong mo na...

Guys malapit na intake,wala pa din ang visa...haaayyysss

jhoney · September 2013

Good day!

may dilemma kasi ako na gusto ko sanang iconsult sa inyo, could you please help me.

I am about to start my application as student visa(subclass 573, Bachelor of Nursing course). I am scheduled tomorrow at IDP makati to start my application sa school na napili ko in melbourne, hopefully makastart na nga kagad eh. actually, i already prepared all the necessary requirements and even had it certified na. talagang excited na akong mag apply kasi hinahabol ko sana yung last intake ng english course this year and yung nursing course na target ko is Feb 2014. malakas loob ko mag apply kasi i have an uncle in Melbourne who is an australian citizen na, so sya ang mag sponsor sa akin.

I am already married but no kids yet, nag work na ako sa Singapore kasi andun din nagwowork si hubby, umuwi na ako pinas at resigned sa work ko sa singapore kasi hindi ko kinaya yung work ko dun na nursing assistant, hindi kasi ako qualified as staff nurse dati na magwork since hindi ako board passer ng singapore.

pagkauwi ko nung july from singapore, nag hanap kagad ako ng agency na for singapore ulit pero this time ang target ko is maging staff nurse na talaga magpunta. ayaw ko na sanang bumalik ng SG kaso andun si hubby and stable ang work nya dun kaya gusto ko sana magkasama kami ulit lalu na wala pa naman kaming baby.

so nung naghahanap na ako, may kumuha sa akin na agency at qualified ako maging staff nurse. ito na nga, since napili ako ng employer for interview scheduled by the end of september, malaki chance na makuha na nga ako for singapore lalu na kung mag base sila sa experience ko.

yan ang problem ko, should i still take yung chance for singapore ulit kasi andito na, or should i pursue na kagad ang magpunta ng australia. kasi, ganun din naman, ang balak ko kung matuloy ako for singapore, after 2years ng contract mag aapply din naman ako for australia kasi plano talaga namin ni hubby na mag settle dun at eventually maging PR.

sa tingin nyo ba much better kung as early as now makapunta na ako kagad australia o tapusin ko na lang contract ko sa singapore??

Sorry ha kung mahaba.. naguguluhan na kasi ako sa anung dapat na decision ko eh..

iheartoz · September 2013

@jhoney kung ako, i'll take na lang muna the opportunity sa SG kasi ok naman work ng hubby mo dun. kung staff nurse talaga ang work mo, it will prepare you for OZ. mahal pag nag-aral ka dun as regular student. samantalang kung may 2 yrs experience ka, pwedeng bridging course ka na lang. madali mo lang matatapos. di masyadong magastos. pag may registration ka na, apply2x ka na dun as nurse. hanap ng employer na magsponsor sayo ng work visa.

or baka ang experience ng hubby nasa SOL naman, pwedeng sya na mag-apply directly for migrant visa?

jhoney · September 2013

@iheartoz , thank you so much sa pag reply ha..

actually, i have more than 7years experience as a registered nurse dito sa pinas. ang problema ko kasi kahit gusto ko sana bridging course na kagad ay yung ielts ko, hindi ko nakuha ang all 7points, ayaw ko ng mag retake kasi masyado na akong frustrated, pang 3rd take ko na pero hindi ko pa rin makuha ang all 7 kaya student visa ang inaplayan ko na lang.

si husband naman IT sya and na ckeck na namin sa SOL, wala yung line of work nya sa list kaya ako ang magiging main applicant na lang..

@iheartoz - c hubby kasi Civil Engineer...I just heard from my agent and tama ka! Hindi un ung main basis on whether my student visa will be approved or not. So we will just submit supporting documents like ung affidavit. Besides ung error is for my husband’s birth place…so it’s not so bad daw… mejo nabuhayan me ng loob. Actually ako gusto ko sana na mag direct migration na lang kasi nga mas practical…pero ung husband ko gusto nya ko mas MBA talaga…para nmn din daw saakin un at personal career development. Sya ung hindi masyadong concerned sa difference ng gagastusin…kasi nga he wants me to invest in my self-education. Pero parehas lang sa iba, sympre gusto na nmin na sna maging immigrant din kame dun someday…madameng salamat!

@TinerBebi good to hear that!

tuloy lang and good luck sa inyo!

iheartoz · September 2013

@jhoney bad news is, after you graduate, you still have to get that straight 7 for your registration. so, try and try lang. wala namang limit yan e.

TinerBebi · September 2013

@jhoney hindi ba pedeng pagsabayin mo na lang? just attend your interview in Sept for that Singapore job. But I still suggest you to submit all your docs for student visa processing. Malay mo matanggap ka dun sa SG job WHILE waiting for the student visa to come out...eh di lipad ka na lang to AU from SG...okay pa nmn din umattend sa job interview, just cross the bridge when the job offer is already in front of you...hangga't hindi ka pa nag-sign ng job offer, you can still back out

siguro by that time na kelangan mo ng pumirma ng job offer, mas definite na ung decision whether to take it or leave it. (suggestion lang nmn po)

TinerBebi · September 2013

@trinketz_07 kelan po intake mo and kelan ka nag-lodge ng visa? pray hard...kaya yan!

dft · September 2013

@jhoney Hi! parehas pala tau ng naiisip hehe. Currently nsa Qatar ako for 6 years hosp and 3 years pinas exp. Gusto ko din sana na magbrigding na tulad ng sabi ni @iheartoz un nga lang problema ko tulad sau nag take na ako ng ielts dto self review pero d ko nakuha ung flat 7 kaya merun ako DUELI (English) na inofer ung deakin. mas maiksi lng tlga kung bridging lng pero sa ngaun mas pinili ko ung 1 year conversion nlng pero pinag iisipan ko din na mag retake ng ielts o kung ndi nmn pg swerte makaalis dun nlng sa aus. plan ko mag resign nlng uwi ng pinas mg review ng ielts o d kaya dto nlng mag-aplay ng stud vis since madali lng dw ma-aprov pg dto na sa ibang bansa

jhoney · September 2013

@TinerBebi , thanks ha.

iniisip ko na din pagsabayin kaso kasi kelangan ko magbayad for the exam din eh.. sana talaga ma approve kagad application ko for australia, mas gusto ko kasing dun na lang kesa sa singapore. kunin ko na lang si hubby pag nakakapag part time na ako while studying..

dft · September 2013

@iheartoz merun ako dto nabasa na minsan ung bridging prog daw merun "no further stay"? totoo po b un? ung 1 year conversion kasi merun ng 3 mos extension. tnx!

iheartoz · September 2013

@jhoney mahaba na experience mo, sayang naman. while nagwowork ka, try your luck sa IELTS. while doing that, makakapag-ipon ka pa. dahil sa experience mo, malaki chance mo to land a job sa OZ.

jhoney · September 2013

@dft
Hello po

buti ka nga nakapag apply ka na sa deakin, ako hindi pa. gusto ko kasing ipursue na talaga yung australia, matagal na dapat eh kaso dahil sa ielts kaya ako hindi makatuloy mag apply. bukas ako mag aapply for deakin thru IDP sa makati, hopefully makaabot ako sa DUELI.

kelan pla mag commence ang DUELI mo? may november intake pa ba for it?

trinketz_07 · September 2013

@TinerBebi sa oct 7 po..naglodge po ung mara ko july 30,na acknowledge aug 6....

dft · September 2013

@iheartoz amin lng ung mga .5 mu sa ielts sumubra ka nmn sa 7! haha

dft · September 2013

@jhoney dapat sept un pero pina move ko kasi sb ko pag iisipan ko pa ung ielts mahal din kasi ung dueli nsa 250k pesos kinulang lng ako ng dalawang .5 sa ielts pero tingin kahit anu pa man score mu sa ielts tatangapin nmn nila kasi bbgyan ka nmn ng dueli pero kailangan dn kasi ntin ung flat 7 after. Dun nmn sa desisyon mu kung SG o Aus opinoyon ko lng, ganyan din ako kasi mag 6 years na ako dto tapos ung wife ko nmn nsa KSA nurse dn pero ako ung primary xa ung dependent stud vis. kung long term tlga goal mu go for Aus pero kung gusto mu pa ng pandagdag pd ka pa mag SG pero kung merun nmn na bat mu pa papatagalin ganun dn nmn tumatakbo ang oras hehe, opinyon ko lng po

iheartoz · September 2013

@jhoney do whatever your heart desires na lang. kung gusto mo na talaga mag OZ na, go go go. baka rin kasi di ka maging happy sa work mo sa SG. anyway, may advantage rin na magstart ka na ngayon sa plans mo sa OZ habang wala pa kayong baby. if ok lang naman sa husband mo na magseparate kayo for a while or i-give up nya work nya, walang problema.

@dft hahaha. alam ko, kaya nyo IELTS. review2x lang talaga. may tips naman yan e. lalo na sa mga review centers. yung bridging program, ibang visa yun. if i'm not mistaken, business short stay ata. so definitely, may clause yun na no further stay.

iheartoz · September 2013

@jhoney @dft wag nyong urungan ang IELTS kasi whichever path you take, bridging or conversion, babalikan nyo pa rin yan sa registration. wala pa ring lusot. hehehe.

jhoney · September 2013

thanks so much sa mga reply nyo ha.. naguguluhan tuloy hubby ko sa akin, pero kasi ang long term plan talaga sa Australia kami mag settle na sana, in God's perfect time.

hindi ko na talga kakayanin yung ielts, naka 3 take na ako wala pa rin talaga kaya siguro ito nalang student visa option muna kunin ko

iheartoz · September 2013

@jhoney go ahead sis and good luck!

TinerBebi · September 2013

@jhoney good luck! balitaan mo kme anong pathway kuhanin mo...
