positive stories naman tayo! may we hear real life good-to-know, makes-me-wanna-stay-in-OZ-for-good stories from @danyan2001us on a student/student dependent's perspective? hehe.

@chill_ice ako din re-lodge ako. hopefully sa understanding na CO ako mapunta. Tom ako naka schedule sa IDP. SVP ka ba sis? Nakita ko kasi Oct ang intake mo sana. Sana makahabol ka. Pa-PM naman ng name ng Case Officer mo sis. Pm ko sayo yung sa akin.

bbgirl · October 2013

@babezerothree si sis @chill_ice ang napersonal interview din. Naisip ko lang, yung may mga interview (phone/personal) eh may gustong iclarify ang mga CO natin. Kailangan prepared ka sa mga isasagot mo especially yung sa course na i-tatake mo. Prepare and list all possible question and answer. Kasi sa akin, naisip ko baka kulang ang nasabi ko sa CO ko. Tama si @PampangasBest, do not mention their names here.

Ang masasabi ko lang, magkaiba tayo ng CO.

danyan2001us · October 2013

@bbgirl .....good luck sis.....keep you in my prayers.....

bbgirl · October 2013

@danyan2001us thank you sir!

Hi. Goodevening. I just wanna apologize for whatever unnecessary words/names I have been wrote in here. Though first time ko sumali sa ganitong forum at hindi ko alam ang dos and donts in posting a comment (alam ko invalid ang reason ko). Sana hindi ito makasama sa application ko. Again I do apologize.

bbgirl · October 2013

@babezerothree I think it's okay naman. Wala namang do's and don'ts. May mga nagmention din naman na iba names ng CO's nila.

Siyempre diba pag nasa Internet madali lang mag google ng names?

Anyway, goodluck sa personal interview mo ha.

Balitaan mo kami.

Goodluck to all, sana maraming visa grants na dumating this month!

danyan2001us · October 2013

Praying for your visa grants today guys......keep up the spirit.....be positive and pray .....

ten2six · October 2013

@babezerothree: goodluck sa interview. Sub class 573 ka ba?

asdfghjklqwerty · October 2013

@bbgirl Bbgirl what do you mean by your "bagsakin" grades in college? I have a few line of 7 grades din kasi, I'm worried baka maging issue din ito in my future application..

iheartoz · October 2013

@babezerothree no need to apologize. i don't think it's bawal naman. it's just some kind of an advice from @PampangasBest. just playing it safe kumbaga.

bbgirl · October 2013

@asdfghjklqwerty kung hindi naman sobra i think you do not need to worry. I was really not into studying back then and add ko pa na nag working student ako. it's like im going to take 5 subjects and 3 lang maipapasa ko kasi nga nagwowork ako di ko na napapasukan yung ibang subjects.

markier87 · October 2013

@markier87 yup. medyo matagal silang nagrereply sa inquiries. 1-2 days usually. hintay2x lang. they will sure get in touch naman. i've heard about that pero wala akong kakilala. much better if magpasponsor ka na lang. di naman kelangan na sayo yung money e. you'll just be needing some documents from your sponsor (e.g. bank statements, affidavit of support, etc.).

Thanks @iheartoz! I see, kaso more than 5 days na eh wala pa rin silang update.hehehe. I sent another email like the one I sent before baka lang kasi nakaligtaan yung first. Just in case..hehehe If not, I guess direct application na lang if hindi talaga sila mgrereply.

babezerothree · October 2013

Thanks guys. @bbgirl: nung nag-email sayo ang DIAC about your personal interview, did you confirm to them na pupunta ka? And guys question po, holiday ba on October 15?

janinlee · October 2013

@bbgirl Hi !

may agent ka? ikaw lang nag pass ng mga papers mo sa school?

iheartoz · October 2013

@markier87 or kung wala pa din, contact them thru phone na lang. tell them you emailed. email naman kasi talaga ang mode of communication nila with their clients e. kung personal ka ding pupunta, you will need to make an appointment ahead of time. you have to call them pa rin. here's their number: (032) 236 2758

Yesss my CO na ko, nag bibigay po ba ang bank ng nirerequest nya?

iheartoz · October 2013

@babezerothree yes, it's a holiday. better contact them para malaman mo kung mamomove ang interview.

nursealexi · October 2013

@iheartoz oo nga sis eh! sana magclassmates tayo. may bago na sana akong friend

haha. Siguro okay na din para daw makapagadjust ako sa aussie. Nakakapanibago daw kasi yung environment tsaka classes. Kung dito sa PH eh umaga ka papasok at uuwi ka ng gabi, dun daw ibang iba. haha. North Sydney din ako!

Magpapangabot pa tayo. haha. Ahead ka na nga lang

@nar_jet same pala tayo! oo may nakita nga ako na kinukuhanan na ng picture dun sa likod ng tarp! nakakaexcite isipin ang panibago natin na journey!

oo nga eh. inaayos na din nung lola ko sa aussie yung mga requirements, yung akin naman lahat yata okay na? Medyo matagal pa naman kaya keri pa.

Ang haba naman ng byahe! sana naghanap ka ng ibang school.

Nakakalungkot naman yung mga visa refusals

pero think positive lang tayo. In His right time mabibigay din yan. Goodluck everyone!

bbgirl · October 2013

@babezerothree phone interview po ako.

@janinlee wala po akong agent. Yes thru the university website lang ako nagapply

Just came home from IDP. Nadali daw ako ng GTE. Akalain mo yun? Sabi nga pag SVP, usually GTE ang tinitignan hindi financial documents. Ayan, medyo hirap sila if they will help me daw with the visa processing. Hayayayay! I need to answer all dun sa decision and provide necessary documents such as proof from my previous employer that after I graduate ay meron akong evidence na I have a position sa company and they will accept me. Parang ganon. And dapat Certificate of Employment ko ay may detailed description of my work. Well, madali lang naman yun eh.

Pero baka January na ako mag lolodge. Medyo nabuhayan ako. Yun nga lang hindi sure ng IDP if they can assist me with the visa application kasi daw 50/50 na daw chance ko of getting a grant because of that GTE. Talaga naman ano?

Di pa din ako nawawalan ng pag-asa!

Pinagdasal ko talaga yan na di ako lamunin ng depression.

May mga grants na ba?

danyan2001us · October 2013

@bbgirl ....hi that's good at nakakuha ka ng opinion from IDP....and I like very much your spirit na go and go ...that's exactly how to do it....in spite of the seemed obstacles just continue believing that at the end of your visa application, it will be positive by that time.....prayers and more prayers.....

bbgirl · October 2013

@danyan2001us yes tama! and meron reason why I got refused. Sabi nga diba:

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.

Aja!

Good evening to all!
