My Masters degree is abroad course-based. However, I've seen some people with Nigeria masters degree that gained PhD admission.

ferdimako:

Zioni, pls let me the amount u paid before ur CoE was issued and the actual tuition in Flinders.Health insurance and housing things and situation?

the amount you will pay will be included in your offer of letter which includes the Overseas student health cover for the duration of your student visa... And the tuition fee depends on the course you are admitted for. I stayed in a backpacker for a week when I first arrived before I secured a shared accomodation close to the uni. Rent ranges from $100-$250 a week... So it depends on your choice... Ou shuld be able to aaccess how much your tution fee is for the course you applying for on flinders.edu.au
Shalom

Okay. I wanted to ascertain that. I was just thinking lately if a course-based Masters can be used for admission into a doctoral program, though I knew it should but just got skeptical a little.
I am going for a course-based Masters and will be applying to Australia for a doctoral program.
Thanks so much brother.

@americanvisa

That is why she has to declare the financial proof of both herself and her husband/ family when applying. As long as she meets the whole financial bruhaha, you can join her at anytime.

SHe cannot just declare her own finance like she is goin alone, neither can you declare yours if you are planning on joining her later, separately. As long as she meets financial requirement for herself and family member, you do not need to show any proof when you are going cos you both( and every other person she has included in her visa application) will get your visas at the same time, it is left for you to travel at a later date if you want

YOU ARE NOT APPLYING, she is the one applying and including you in the application. If she gets a visa, you get yours together with her and if they deny her, you don't get it. You are a dependent, she is the primary applicant. Like I said she has to show proof of financial source for you both as long as you are included in the visa application. Whether you decide to join her or not, is your own decision to make

No shortcut to Ausstralia @americanvisa,hope with jenny advice things never fall apart

Indeed, no short cut

@jenn,am happy you are there for us.From what i read,it states that either you include your family member at the time of your application or you nominate them to come when you start your course,and there is 2 forms for that known as nomination and student application form.This forms will be filed by the student and send to the family member who she is nominating to join her and there are some condition attached."Sending documents with your application

evidence of your relationship with your dependants in the form of officially issued birth and marriage certificates
evidence of school enrolment for your school-aged dependants
evidence of health insurance for each dependant" this conditions applied if you did not include them during student visa application but you must declare them as family member during the application.

"How to nominate

are required to provide, to your dependant(s) overseas.

I hope you understand where am going,thank you

my question remain in this financial requirement,she was asked to present her account statement to show that she have the money to nominate me,so am asking what of if i present my own statement of account instead of her own,will still be allowed

Financial requirements

You must have enough money to pay for travel, tuition and living expenses for yourself, your partner and your dependent children for the duration of your stay in Australia. You must also have enough money to support your partner and dependent children, even if they do not travel with you to Australia.
Note: Specific financial requirements apply to fully funded students.
See: Financial requirements

If an employer or Corporation is sponsoring you, they must conduct commercial activities outside the country in which it is based. They must also employ you in a role in relation to which your principal course is of direct relevance.

@jenny,i hope am not lazy,this case of financial obligation have make me to read far and wide to the best of my ability so that i will be able to come up with issues,am waiting for your conclusion

But we have said it lots of times here that anybody can be a sponsor.....If you are sponsoring Her then use your acct details

jenny,am sorry for stressing you,please help me and clear the air,am the husband and i dont have any child yet,so i suppose to apply with her but because of the amount involved for both of us,that is why i decided to stay back then i can join later,now they are demanding her account statement before she can nominate me to join,what if i present my own then instead of her own?

Has she applied for the visa?

no,just trying to get it right before we proceed

No i am not offended, i am mobile and cant type long. So whose bank statements did she plan to use originally? To be quite honest, you have confused me here cos I don't understand (. Please I am not trying to be rude, your posts are not clear to me) I think you need to direct these questions anonymously to the Australian high commission.

Like I said earlier, anybody could be a sponsor e.g the visa applicants can sponsor themselves, extended family members can, immediate family members can, friends can.......and I have this feeling that this second paragraph of mine, have answered your question if you read between the lines.

When is she planning on commencing studies,

ok,i understand,all my case based on finance,i am the husband and the sponsor and the money that i have will be ok for the tafe course that she is going but i have only extra one left to show to the embassy but i have good job which i am going to present,because of the financial constraint,i decided to stay back so that she can go then i will join her later but the bone of contention now is how do come in,from this point i will like you to see the above post of mine,i hope you can understand it.July entry

I just want to do it right because every thing about Australia is expensive including the visa visa and medicals,if financial requirement will be a big problem,is better i defer it to February because i wish to go with her this same time

Okayyyyyy. I think I get you now, you want your wife to go by herself and you want to join her later? At the same time you only want to pay for herself alone and then sort yourself out when you are ready to join her?

Even if she applies in April, will there be enough time to arrive for orientation. Students are migrating to Australia and because of this, a lot of people have experienced over 3 months delay in visa processing

exactly,you are on point,i'm thinking differing it now because of time,i contacted the school to know of any extension and they gave me only a week after orientation,and am not sure w can make it and i dont want to be on rush 2 but that 3030 dollars non refundable DIAC application fee no be moi moi
