Cos I can still remember someone on this thread also complaining about been told to submit a document and after his app has been on queue for them for long and psssibly till now without been finalized. I think that persons submission date was 16th of April and he got an iformation request 11 days after according to him if I'm not mistaken. Till now no answer from them. The person is active I think on this thread. Jegz or so

Fishlink:

ok thats nice and u have gotten ur grant. because I have a maternal uncle now who is willing to give me a SOA.
so I shld go on with him?

Haliru001:
yeah. Dt is true. Some universities in Australia accept a 4 year degree from jus some selected universities in Nigeria. You can apply to Macquarie Univ. They have that same course and would most likely give u admission, as far as ur result is good. They also give students from Africa, a discount of 2500aud per semester

Thanks for the info. Does macquarie university requires Bank statement before given admission?

BADNEAT:
Nigerians wan finish UNSW, over 90% of students that get visa using UNSW change school on arrival,sacrificing part of the initial payment

Sir why?

jackson2dye4:



Refund from who?? That's not an option at this stage.
Gurus, at some point last week my sponsor had about 9m in his account. Please what is the main requirement in assessing SOA? Closing balance? Or i need the 9m to be in for 3months

Not necessary 3 months if you can provide proof of the deposit it's clearly stated on the border website

yeyen004:

No, it's an Al1.

UNSW is expensive ..and their policy on leaving is quite easy...you forgo 3000Aud of the initial deposit ,and move to way cheaper schools ..

Financial capacity requirements

 Documentary evidence of financial capacity

If you need to provide evidence of financial capacity, you will be able to demonstrate this by providing one of the following:

evidence of funds to cover travel to Australia and 12 months’ living, course and (for school aged dependants) schooling costs for the student and accompanying family membersevidence that you meet the annual income requirementan Acceptance Advice of Secondary Exchange Students (AASES) form (secondary exchange students only)a letter of support from the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade or Department of Defence.

Subsequent entrants – family members who apply after the primary applicant has been granted their visa must also provide documentary evidence of financial capacity. This must be one of the options above.

Twelve months' funds option

Evidence of funds can include money deposits, financial institution or government loans, scholarships or sponsorships. You can calculate the total amount of funds you will need by adding living costs, course fees, schooling costs and travel costs. Use the information below to calculate the total amount of funds you will need.

Living costs

From 1 July 2016, the 12 month living cost is:

student or guardian -  AUD 19,830partner or spouse - AUD 6,940child - AUD 2,970.

Course fees

Calculate the first 12 months of your course fees or include the total cost of your course if it is for a duration of 12 months or less. Deduct any prepaid costs and provide evidence of these payments (this should be on your Confirmation of Enrolment or provide receipts).

If you are in Australia and your course has already commenced, calculate the course fee payable for the 12 month period commencing from the date on which you lodge your application.

Example 1: if your course fee is AUD 50,000 for three years, determine the fee for one year (12 months) by dividing the total amount by the number of years. The amount will be AUD 16,666. Deduct any pre-paid amounts.

Example 2: if your course fee is AUD 15,000 for 10 months, and you have already paid AUD 5,000, deduct this prepaid amount from the total amount. The amount will be AUD 10,000.

Example 3: if your course fee is AUD 20,000 for 18 months, determine the fee for one year (12 months) by dividing the total amount by the number of months, then times by 12 (20,000 / 18 x 12). The amount will be $13,333. Deduct any pre-paid amounts.

Schooling costs

Where school aged children are included in your student visa application, schooling costs of at least AUD 8,000 per year for each child will need to be added to the amount of funds required. You are responsible for researching schooling costs, which vary between states, territories and schools in Australia.

You do not have to provide evidence of schooling costs if you are:

a PhD student and can show you have enrolled your child in an Australian government school where the fees have been waivedreceived an Australian Commonwealth Government scholarship, including Foreign Affairs and Defence sponsored students, and you can show you have enrolled your child in a government school where the fees have been waived.

Travel costs

If applying outside Australia, include AUD 2,000.

If applying in Australia, include AUD 1,000.

Annual income option

The annual income option requires a student to provide evidence of personal annual income of at least AUD 60,000. For students accompanied by family members, the requirement is at least AUD 70,000. The income demonstrated must be the personal income of your spouse (who is not coming with you) or parents. Where both of your parents are working, their combined income can be considered for this requirement. Evidence must be in the form of official government documents such as tax assessments. Evidence in the form of bank statements or information directly from an employer is not acceptable.

Genuine access to funds

You and your accompanying family members must be able to access the funds shown while you are in Australia.

When considering whether the funds will be genuinely available, we will take into account additional information and supporting evidence you provide, such as:

the nature of the relationship between you and the person who is providing the funds, where applicable your income, assets and employment or those of the person providing the funds evidence of financial support history source of funds for any lump sum deposits.

God is really merciful. What day was the bank statement requested for? Also meaning we will hear good news from jegz since he applied almost same time with you

Thanks... Well true UQ is the cheapest of the three (AUD 30,189) but it's still expensive fa. Please I would appreciate if anyone can suggest a cheaper school offering MS nursing (graduate-entry). Most schools I researched offer the bachelor route.
