Hi guys,

Just got my visa grant letter via email at around 1130am today.

Long live this site and its helpful members! Good luck to everyone who's already lodged and those who are still preparing for lodgment.

Thank you very much, dear Father.

Congratulations

@Siopao23 Exposure to patients with TB Parang given naman kasi since I work as a nurse. Pero yun nga sabi ng panel physician, despire clear xray results the embassy might still refer it. Pero I guess depende rin yun sa case officer. Wag an Lord please [-O<

Btw, are you in aussie na?

Aaaah. Hindi na yan dont worry

Hi po question lang ulit. I tried to do some research but I can't find the exact answer. Can someone enlighten me about SVP? Para lang po ba to sa mga magtetake ng BA courses or under visa 573?

Thank you.

two days after lodging nagpakita na agad si Grant. It really helped doing the medicals prior to submitting the visa application and making sure that all the requirements are submitted the first time.

SVP stands for streamlined visa processing. Currently, it's only available for subclasses 573 (Bachelor's degree/Masters by coursework) and 574 (Masters by research/Doctorates). If you're applying under SVP, you will be tagged as Assessment Level 1 regardless of your country of origin

To be qualified for SVP:
1. your course should be a Bachelors degree at the very least
2. your school/education provider of choice is part of the list participating in SVP.

For further reading: http://www.immi.gov.au/business-services/education-providers/streamlined-visa-arrangements.htm

In theory, pag SVP, mas malaki ang chance na maapprove and minimal to none ang hihingiing proof of funds.

@appledeuce congratulations...sana nxt na kme!:)) can I ask if ininterview ka pa?

nicekckyle · February 2014

@nicekckyle ....ok good luck sa application nyo....see you in melbourne....may accomodation na ba kau ng hubby mo dito sa melby?

Actually wala pa po. We'll decide on that kapag pinalad po ng visa grant although may mga kakilala lng din po relative ng mga friends.

nicekckyle · February 2014

Meron po ba dito na under ng svp pero nagsubmit pa ng proof of funds e.g bank statements? Medyo worried lng po ako na maging cause pa yun ng delay

appledeuce · February 2014

@appledeuce congratulations...sana nxt na kme!:)) can I ask if ininterview ka pa?

Thank you! Tiwala lang and untiring prayers.

I wasn't interviewed sis. To be honest, one should hope that he or she won't be interviewed kasi that actually suggests na may something wrong or insufficient sa application documents that were submitted. I backread in this thread nung inaayos ko yung application ko, and visa refusal usually yung mga may interview, if I remember correctly.

So sana wala nang interviews!

@eiwoks_lex ...hi bro...check this link

http://www.comlaw.gov.au/Details/F2014L00146

ito yong listahan ng mga institutions sa Australia na SVP....pag andyan ang school mo meaning SVP ang napili mong school....

appledeuce · February 2014

Meron po ba dito na under ng svp pero nagsubmit pa ng proof of funds e.g bank statements? Medyo worried lng po ako na maging cause pa yun ng delay

Yup I believe ganun ginawa ni @bbgirl. Hindi pa ata siya fully aware when she submitted her application na pwedeng hindi na magbigay ng proof of funds pag SVP.

Speaking of @bbgirl, kumusta na kaya siya.. Based on her last magrelodge siya around this time.

nicekckyle · February 2014

Buti po mabait yung Visa Officer ko...nirequest nya papers ko for urgent processing-Reason: Streamlined. Ang bait ni Lord...in a week after lodgement Visa Grant na rin po!! Thank you dear Lord! :-)

danyan2001us · February 2014

Howard · February 2014

@appledeuce Hi, ask ko lang magkano dapat show money ksi un eenroll ko good for 1 year lang pero kasama ko si wife at un son ko?

Congrats sau!!!!

God bless.....

Howard · February 2014

@nicekckyle Hi hinigan ka pa ng proof of funds? Worried din lang po?

God Bless....

appledeuce · February 2014

@aa777 yup, may mga education providers na hindi po university pero kasama po sa SVP list. Pagdating po sa course, dapat at least bachelors degree pataas.

appledeuce · February 2014

@appledeuce Hi, ask ko lang magkano dapat show money ksi un eenroll ko good for 1 year lang pero kasama ko si wife at un son ko?

Congrats sau!!!!

God bless.....

I haven't seen an SVP course na one year lang so I'll assume 572 po ang aapply-an nyo.

Kung below 5 y.o. po yung anak nyo, you need the TF for the entire course plus around 28,800 for living expenses. If 5-18 y.o. na, you need an additional 8K for your son's schooling.

Plus of course airfare.

Hi. Did you already do your medicals prior to lodging your application to save time? I also applied via SVP and luckily got my visa 2 days after submitting my application.
