Hindi po. Sa interview naman daw po. Di daw sila naniniwala na genuine student ako and temporary lang yung plan ko na pag-stay sa Australia. Ansakit na po sa puso.

Wow. That's rather biased imo.. I thought ang tinanong lang po sa inyo is kung bakit narefuse yung first visa application nyo? Kung nsagot nyo naman siya at naprovide yung proof na relative mo talaga yung sponsor mo, parang unfair naman ata. Kahit pa sabihing hindi ka totally ready nung interview. Para klaro lang po, ang reason for refusal the first time that you applied was yung relationship mo with your sponsor di ba? May nakalagay pa ba sa refusal letter na anything about GTE?

Sorry to hear that sis. Medyo madugo raw kasi pag ininvoke na ng CO yung GTE criteria in the refusal letter. You might wanna consider employing the services of a migration lawyer/expert. Magastos pero it might be worth one more try for you.

Ano po ba yung GTE?

appledeuce · February 2014

GTE = Genuine Temporary Entrant. You may read all about it here:http://www.philippines.embassy.gov.au/mnla/Student_Visa_Requirements.html

Ibig sabihin po mas mahihirapan ako mag re-apply this time? Kung na-deny ako because of thay reason?

Ano po bang exact reason ang ibinigay sa refusal letter ng DIBP para sabihin nilang they don't believe that you are a genuine student and only intend a temporary stay in Australia? Kasi po yung reason na yun ang kailangan mong "labanan" o sagutin. Bale "hinatulan" ka po nila na hindi ka genuine student so kailangan may maibigay kang sagot/proof na convincing, kasi mahirap pong patunayan na nagkamali sila ng desisyon sa pagsasabing hindi ka genuine temporary entrant. Ciempre di rin sila basta aamin na nagkamali sila, unless strong talaga ang argument mo with regard to your genuineness. So kung plan mo pong ipursue pa ang student visa plans mo, ito po yung kailangan mong iprepare.

I'm just sharing things that I have read po ha, and this shouldn't be taken as an expert opinion.

talaga bang may phone interview na ngayon? kasi may nabasa ako sa isa pang forum na binago na daw ngayon yung process, mandatory na daw yung phone interview.

loonylovegood13 · February 2014

Ahhmm. Konti daw po understanding ko what will my circumstances be in Australia. Limited daw po yung knowledge ko about the city. Eh pano naman po ako magkakaknowledge kung never pa ako napunta dun, sinabi ko naman po na i will be living with a close friend na mag gaguide sakin once na nandun na ako. Limited daw po understanding ko sa life in australia, minimal lang daw po yung preparations ko. Tapos po hindi sya naniniwala na uuwi ako sa pilipinas after the course. Ganon ganon po. Haay.

appledeuce · February 2014

@loonylovegood13 aww. I guess they were looking for signs na nag research ka about life in Australia to prepare yourself, signs that will show excitement on your part about living in their beloved country.

Thanks for sharing. Tip ito for future applicants like me to do research in anticipation of a phone/personal interview if ever.

As for your application po, if you can get the services of a migration lawyer/expert, I believe you will have better chances of overcoming this GTE hurdle. Good luck po.

@danyan2001us Thank you Sir Danyan. Sa Sunshine Coast po kami ni husband. May offer din po ang La Trobe and Victoria University kaya lang may mga konting complications kaya we decided to go for Queensland. Hingi nalang po kami ng tips from successful couples like you under student visa.

muffin_jam · February 2014

@rave21lala hi po. In our case, wala naman pong phone interview. However, our agent advised us to prepare just in case tumawag ang embassy kasi po may random interview daw. It depends po siguro kung may gustong iclarify ang CO mo.

muffin_jam · February 2014

@appledeuce Hi! SVP kami ni husband. Wala pa nga pong timeline. hehe.. Nabigla nga din po kami. Nauna po kasi ang medical namin ng husband ko prior to visa lodgement. Very helpful din po ang My Health Declarations, yun po ang pinagawa ng agent namin para po daw pag isusubmit na namin ang visa application, complete na lahat and mapapadali na ang pagrereview ng papers namin. Saka prayers din po talaga kaya napadali grant namin.

chill_ice · February 2014

@loonylovegood13 hi! Sorry to hear that... Naramdaman ko din yan when i got refused. Nppansin ko most ng nainterview is narerefuse. Matagal n ko member dito s forum un lang napansin ko. Anyway, gte din ang reason s akin bkit ako narefuse plus course inconsistent daw ako. I have asked from some agents and mirgation experts regarding this. Iba iba ang suggestions eh kaya pinag aaralan ko din mabuti kung rereapply pa.

appledeuce · February 2014

@muffin_jam yup. Nag MyHealth Declaration na rin ako para okay na lahat pagkapasa ng visa application. Sana kasimbilis din ng sa inyo yung application ko.

loonylovegood13 · February 2014

@chill_ice ilang beses na po kayo na-refuse? Kung okay lang po, ano po yung mga sinasabi nung mga agencies?

Kung hindi naman aabot normally may email ang immigration para humingi ng extension letter sa school o change of intake date

danyan2001us · February 2014

@muffin_jam ...hi sis ...ang tip siguro maiibigay ko sa inyo based on our experience is tibay ng loob at tiwala sa Diyos...hindi rin biro na daanan namin dito lalo na ung frist four months...ang hirap maghanap ng trabaho....ang nakakatulong sa amin ay yong support group sa kapwa pinoy (be leart lang dahil may mga pinoy din na medyo hindi na nakikialam sa mga bago dating dito...) pero focus your energy sa mga tao na makatulong sa inyo not necessarily financial support pero moral, spiritual support....importante yon lalo na sa inyo na mag adjust pa lang...kami mag 4 years na kami dito sa melbourne by july28 dis year

muffin_jam · February 2014

@ashyliemelodyerin Hi! Thank you. Oo naman susunod na din po ang grant ninyo. Since waiting nalang kayo, keep praying and think positive. Basta po alam ninyo na complete documents nyo and nagawa nyo naman ng maayos ang statement of purpose nyo, wala ng dahilan ang co na hindi kayo bigyan ng grant. Sunod sunod na po tayo. God bless. : )

muffin_jam · February 2014

@appledeuce Mabilis din po iyan. Alam mo, hindi nga kami nakatanggap ng acknowledgement thru sms or email from the embassy after lodging our visa. Grant na agad yung pinadala. Hehe.. God bless. : )

muffin_jam · February 2014

@danyan2001us thank you po. Sana nga po malagpasan din namin mga kakaharapin na challenges. Nandito naman po ang pinoyau site and very helpful na members gaya nyo. Tama po kayo, sana makahanap kami ng mga friendly Filipinos sa church para may mga networks din. God bless po sa inyo ng wife nyo. : )

muffin_jam · February 2014

@ryx hi Ryx! Suggest ko lang kung malapit ka sa Metro Manila, try mong magconsult sa AMS Global in Makati. Libre po sila. They will guide you from choosing a course and school hanggang sa visa application. Try to visit their facebook site. God bless po and good luck sa plans mo.
