    @janinlee syempre hindi pwedeng mawalan ng pag-asa. Future natin ito eh. :) Post ka din timeline mo. Anong school mo? SVP sis no need na daw proof of funds pero nagsubmit pa din ako (di ko kasi alam...) $120k AUD naibigay kong showmoney. Walang problema sa financial, dinale naman ako sa GTE. Hehehe! Talaga naman ano. :) Basta pray lang and keep the faith! Alam na ni Lord desires natin so it's up to Him na din if yun talaga gusto Niya for us. :)

    @danyan2001us oo sir balitaan ko kayo sa January. :) Will re-apply sa January pa. ;)

    Happy weekend sa lahat!

    @asdfghjklqwerty whats your email address? I can send you a PDF extract from DIAC's own procedure manuals about how they interpret this policy. A kind immi adviser/agent sent me these documents online. :) Di ko pa binabasa, madugo english-an ito :)) Hehehe! Anong subclass ka ba? Naisip ko kasi pag SVP ka, hahanapan ka nila ng way para i-refuse. Para sa akin lang yun ha. :D

    @asdfghjklqwerty pinakaapparent ay yung course na dapat na kukunin mo sa OZ should be somewhat related sa natapos mo dito. pero not naman related na mas mababa pa sa kung anong qualification na meron ka. questionable daw yun e. @bbgirl 's case was different though. so basically, nasa CO na yun kung pano nyang iaassess. may mga criteria naman kasi sila. somebody gave a link about GTE here just recently. backread ka sa mga comments to find it. very helpful yun.

    Sorry @bbgirl for the visa refusal. :(

    I found a directive re: GTE assessment for visa officers sa DIAC website. http://www.immi.gov.au/gateways/agents/pdf/direction-53-assessing-gte.pdf Baka makatulong for anyone.

    @bbgirl sent you a PM :). SVP din ako eh. I was actually complacent na about the visa since yun nga SVP mas madali daw ma-approve accdg to their new resolution diba. Yun pala.. oh well. Nasa CO lang talaga sguro yan :/

    @iheartoz Oo nga eh, dasal nalang talaga na generous yung CO.. tsk tsk.

    @janinlee mas okay sa tingin ko if you'll be honest. but then again, ask for assistance from any agent. :)

    Hi all, just received an email from my IDP counsellor:

    "But again, for visa refusals that are GTE-related, I would advise you to not reapply again because the probability of getting refused on your reapplication is high."

    Sorry sa positive message ni @laquips. Baka may marefer kayong agent or immi lawyer, please pa-pm po. Thanks!
