RedReact,i just dey oo,waiting for good news from our bros n sis,hope is going well with you

Sorry mcdon, missed your post.

Lets start this way..... You planned on studying for one year, what course did you have in mind and how much is it? You had to show proof of financial stability about 18k give or take, although I stand to be corrected....how did you plan on meeting that up?

Also, your and your wife and child will need to rent a place and all that.....what was your plan in regards to Accomodation?

thanks jenny, firstly, i planned on studying diploma in marketing and it costs $6,731 and i will need to deposit $2,231 to be issued my COE. showing proof of financial stability is no problem as my uncle will be sponsoring me. i have little cash with me but wont be enough, so my uncle will compliment it. and as regards the accommodation, we can at least afford an accommodation for a total of five months before we start scratching our heads .

Thank you Jenny and Red, God bless u. I will write the school to giv me admission for Nursing for January 2014 or I will just giv an excuses dat I can't meet up wit the visa process and differ and later send a mail dat I want nursing instead. How long can one take her child there? Ope it won't be after 2 years when u apply for PR? Thanks always and God bless u again. M reliefd.

@mcdon60, abeg which school is that diploma in marketing. I have been looking for cheap school.Thanks

A big thank you to Jenny,Redreact and everybody that responded to my question.Dat my uncle that was supposed to sponsor me has come out bold that he cannot do the sponsorship thing for me.Is it possible for somebody abroad to sponsor me,cos i have another uncle in Dubai,i have discussed with him and he said no problem.Now the question is, can he send his statement of account straight to Australian embassy @ Pretoria instead of sending it to me in Nigeria?And would they accept a Foreign account?

evanstical: @mcdon60, abeg which school is that diploma in marketing. I have been looking for cheap school.Thanks

you can check AUSTRALIAN PACIFIC COLLEGE, SYDNEY COLLEGE OF BUSINESS AND IT, BRIDGE BUSINESS COLLEGE. They all have low tuition fees and are CRICOS approved. but ask jenny for her take on this, ok?

I think he should send it to you and you enclose it with other documents and go to VFS.Or is his a closely guided one too?

Yes he is.

Hi, is there anyone in New South Wales around? Got my student visa last week, should to arrive next month. Clueless.

@Sakabien,
Sorry for that development. About your alternative, is he set to give the statement to you? If he is, let it get sent down to Nigeria so you can submit it yourself.

@macdon60,thanks.I will check them out. But do they all accept that 2500 fee advance or anyone in particular?

talk2salt: Hi, is there anyone in New South Wales around? Got my student visa last week, should to arrive next month. Clueless.

Congrats on the visa! Clueless on what? You can make arrangements for your accommodation with the school. That remains me, did u enclose any form accommodation document when lodging for the visa?

Didn't enclose an accommodation form. The schools accommodations are a bit on the steep side. I would like alternatives

And they still gave you the visa? What exactly did u enclose? Am on the verge of lodging!

Money in the bank. Sponsors details. School and work documents. Then the usual documents they give you. I think evidence that you can support yourself is crucial.

Okay but my concern is just my B.Sc award cert and Transcript that may not be ready till October.Even my school knows about them but will sight them when I land. I don't know if the Embassy will work with the unofficial ones.Because originals should be ready in October.

Wait till the original certificate is ready... Although, I didn't add my transcripts along with visa application documents.. but I provided a notarised copy of my Bsc Certificate...

Okay.You really didn't stress too much. I don't know if a testimonial and Transcript will suffice. My school headquarters in Lagos and when I storm lagos, I should know what I can get if my study center won't be able to help on time.
