    The longer you have to wait for something, the more you will appreciate it when it finally arrives. The harder you have to fight for something, the more priceless it will become when you achieve it. And the more pain you have to endure on your journey, the sweeter the arrival at your destination. All good things are worth waiting for, and worth fighting for.

    @asdfghjklqwerty i'm not really sure pero tingin ko naman, hindi, as long as you're registered and qualified. they hire overseas employees nga di ba who came from schools na di naman pareho ang standard of education sa kanila.

    Hi. Im a newbie here. Very scary yet inspiring ang mga posts na nababasa ko dito. Anyway, i just wanna ask those veterans here how many percent or possibilities I get the visa granting kung ang sponsor is just a close family friend? Ex-Mayor siya and now his wife seated as the present Mayor ang sponsor ko, then my family is one of their supporter and my dad is working with them. Please help naman. Kinakabahan na kasi ako sa mga nababasa kong refusal dahil sa family friend lang ang sponsor nila, pero nananaig parin ang trust ko kay GOD. Please help po.
    Ang kailangan lang is to satisfy and DIAC na may direct access ka sa account sponsor mo.

So I come to You and place this request at Your loving hands.You know how desperate I am for getting the Visa. My soul has become weary and anxious over this delay in getting the visa .O Lord! Speak in the hearts of the concerned officials, grant me favour in their eyes and help me to get my visa on time so that my purpose is fulfilled. Perfect everything for me my Master. I wait at Your feet and trust in You to make this possible. I know that You will do it for You will never let Your children down. I thank You for listening to my plea! To You alone be all honour and glory. In the sweet name of Jesus I pray.Amen.

    Question for a friend: If using IDP's services, will IDP check financial documents before signing the uni's financial declaration form? (for SVP)

    Eto naman 'yung situation ko: Parang kinabahan na ako mag-apply dahil sa GTE. I'm a recent Polisci graduate and I intend to study Nursing in 2015 (either graduate entry if the uni will recognise my study here or bachelors) in Australia. Ito talaga 'yung gusto ko noon pa, hindi lang ako nag-shift sa ibang course kasi nasa isang reputable uni naman ako rito (walang Nursing sa unit/branch ng uni ko rito) at sayang naman kung hindi tapusin. Admittedly, it shall be my stepping stone for PR in the future but I guess DIAC does not want to hear that as a reason. Sobrang gusto ko na talagang makaalis dito. -__- Sorry for being so unpatriotic.

    Kwento ko rin na nabigyan na rin ako ng offer letter from a uni in NZ (Auckland Uni) when I was in 2nd year, pero hindi Nursing (kasi at that time na nag-apply ako, nag-close sila ng int'l applications sa Nursing & hindi raw related sa current study ko [if I recall correctly, Health Sciences/Nursing 'yung in-apply-an ko].

    Naka-enroll nga ako sa online course na Intro to Nursing course offered by an Australian institution and it's been great so far! I'm thinking mag-enroll na lang ako ng second course here na nursing then kapag naka-one year or two, apply na ako sa Australian unis. Meron din namang Bachelor of Arts/Bachelor of Nursing sa Usyd, pwede akong magpa-recognise ng credits from previous study kaya nga lang, mas mahal sa Usyd compared sa other unis and mas competitive ang entry. Sobrang daming options na pwede pero 'yung GTE 'yung nakapagpapahirap ng proseso. :(

    May kilala ba kayo na successful sa pag-transfer ng careers? :D

    @iheartoz Actually mas makakatipid parin ako sa cheaper tuition fee kesa sa cheaper transpotation fees. Yung nga lang medyo hassle talaga :-((

    @Mia in my experience, IDP did ask me for financial docs. sabi sa kin ng agent ko, sa kanila daw binigay ng Unis yung job to check on the capacity of the student to finance his/her studies. pero yung school mismo, they don't ask na. pero meron pa ring ilan na humuhingi talaga. before my application was forwarded to the school, hiningan ako ng agent ko ng current bank statement and affidavit of support kasi it was my uncle's statement i submitted.

    with regard to GTE, there is a portion in the visa application wherein you can explain elaborately why you chose the course. take advantage of it. think of all the possible acceptable reasons. pag-isipang mabuti ang isasagot. in my own opinion, ang doubt on GTE, nasa degree holders here, taking up courses in OZ na mas mababa pa sa degree nila dito. or totally irrelevant. bachelor naman ang kukunin mo e. it's as if you're starting from scratch so i don't think naman they will question. opinion ko lang naman.

    @asdfghjklqwerty masyado ba talagang malayo? ilang hours ba from your place? few days in a week lang naman ata ang classes. so di masyadong hassle. hassle lang naman kung everyday ka talaga magbabyahe nang mahaba. tingin ko lang ha.

    Guys share ko lang sa inyo this news na dumating sa inbox ko ngayon about student visa:


    " Possible Changes to Post Study Work Visas and Student Visas by End of 2013

    Hi danyan2001us,

    Education Minister, Christopher Pyne, has announced that the settings for Post Study Work Visas and Student Visa streamlined processing will be reviewed.

    This means there may be changes to the eligibility streams and processing of these visas, which would come into effect by the end of 2013.

    The purpose of these changes would be to increase the International Student intake in Australia.

    For more information on the possible changes, please read our article here.

    Kind regards,

    The Acacia Team
    Migration Agent #9905466"


    sana positive na development ito lalo na sa mga nagprocess pa lang ng visa nila ngayon.....
