House pls this tym someone should give a reply to my question, I got admission for a school in Brisbane suppose to resume Oct but I'm thinking I ll defer till February so as to earn some more upkeep from my work here. My questions
1. My parents are part of my sponsors and live in Lagos while me in abuja, thinking of going to meet them so as to arrange all the docs I will need from them myself. Can I after getting d documents submit my visa in Lagos and do all d rest in Abuja.
2. [color=#770077][/color]since I'm thinking of February 2016 will it not be too early to submit for visa in the first week of July 2015.
Sorry for a long epistle, thought my other post was not detailed is y I didn't get a response. Thanks .

I hope prospective students know that just getting a student visa does not lead to PR. It has to be a course on the critical skills list.

erictack203:
7th July? You nor quick ooo lol.

Give them till 20th July which is Monday, if they don't respond then you will have to defer. They have a lot of work on their hands. July is General School resumption period.

Kip your fingers crossed.

Ok thanks much

Hello people,

Student visa processing is not as straightforward as PR processing which I'm much more used to. I intend to help my younger sister secure admission in an Australian university, preferably in NSW in a course with some promise. She is 28 and single with almost 3 years experience as a Customer Service Officer and a first degree in Biology. Please Is it possible to sponsor her for PR later on, when I may have settled successfully? Can an Australian employer obtain a long stay visa? Do you think it's a workable plan?
I've read some posts about TAFE and SVP but I do not understand how they work. Thanks

Bros you are not alone . I am a non svp applicant as well . I applied on 11th June . My TAFE course starts on 20 July. Induction in on 14th. Sent a mail to the case officer and they replied that they received my application on 15TH June and that it was still under assessment and that assessment level 3 takes 2months . However, I replied and asked them if I should defer the resumption considering the closeness of the resumption. I a still waiting for a response from them..

I have not even been asked to go for medicals. Have you?

Tell your story.

Immigration is not for everybody that is what people must come to terms with in Nigeria and in the world. Someone in Australia or in Nigeria can't advice you on that. Some pple get professional jobs within a month, 2months, 6months and some never get. Some pple can live abroad for 5years and still feel like they left Nigeria last week, while some will be frustrated and depressed barely 3months on landing.
You need to ask yourself what you want in life and do you achieve them in the most favourable way to You and only You?
NO ONE ON ANY FORUM IN THE WORLD WILL DECIDE YOUR PATH. They all post personal experiences nd personal indeed they are.
Indians for instance set the pace for their own depression, when they leave India and intend living in an Indian community in Oz, house share by Indians, live beside Indian stores and temples, infact an Indian extension. This is perceived as an act of sociological security by them, when in actual fact they have just caged themselves in its evasive illusion. some Nigerians tread this path.
YOU MUST ACCEPT AND EMBRACE THE CULTURE OF WHERE YOU ARE GOING TO INORDER TO LIVE A NORMAL LIFE, IF NOT ONE IS BETTER OF IN HIS/HER HOME COUNTRY.

Mahn have your case officer contacted you?..
Cos I am surprised you said u contacted the CO ... Anyways I submitted my application on June 24th my school resumes on the 21 of September ... I frontloaded my medicals ... U should have done that... It's better you defer your admission because you won't be meeting up with your status... Non Svp take max of 3months to process

The exact reason for my earlier post. Bossladymo1. Can u elucidate on its viability please?

pls if someone does a masters n the duration is 18months can the person be eligible for PR applications in anyway?

samuelokwu:

Yea. I intend to defer so I can apply for PR cos I am very qualified for that. I found out after applying for a vocational student visa. I didn't go for medicals cos it could be an indication of the decision of the immigration . If my application is assessed and I am asked to go for medicals , my agent says it means I will be given.
well, I am waiting to hear from them as I have sent an email requesting if I should defer. I hope to hear from them this week.
You still have time . They told me assessment level 3 takes 2months so you are fine.

bossladymo1:


You have to study a minimum of 2 yrs.

Even with that, there is no guarantee that the person will be eligible. You must earn the required points.

bossladymo1:


Yes, you can sponsor her under the 489 FS, but her occupation will need to be on the CSOL.

The possibility of she getting an employer sponsor her is low. 457 visas dont come easy.

Why can't she just apply for PR straight up? SA sponsors customer service I think.

SA Sponsors CS, they just opened it afresh this July. It was indicating "Red" all the while and they updated it to "green". We also intend to apply for my wife. A lot of new Occupations currently opened in SA list.

Thanks Bossladymo1, ericktack. i even found out that CS is not eligible for Labour Market testing required for 457.
Ericktack, what i see on SA CSOL is CS Manager 149212 and Call or Contact [b]Manager [/b]149211. Also does a degree in Biology (a different field) not matter?
