This price is very ok. Is the hotel close to school or far?

To all Australian faithfuls, this week is our week, visa grant would fall on us in Jesus name.Amen.

You should look at adjusting your orientation man.... You're supposed to be educated for earth's sake.

Please Nairaland should delect and block this girl that lacks manners. tomorrow someone will marry this one and keep in the house, u re just so rude . simple request from and u re freaking , its simple u politely say u cant help and u re hear ranting....BE GUIDED and cut down ur Ego....

JewelStone:
Yeah my response may not have been the kindest, but it just proves how the thought of accommodating a couple/male sounded to me. And I'm standing by it.

Please you saintly posters should stop quoting me to preach about niceness blah blah blah, I'm not here for any of that. You truly don't know how you'd react in a situation, until you're in that situation.

I've been in a similar situation as yours and I swear, I didn't react like that. Stop being arrogant and disrespectful here, if his/her request made you feel uncomfortable, there ain't no crime in saying NO!
After all, you owe no one nothing! I can bet you've been in a similar situation in the past. I'm not urging you to help anyone but politely say no if you can't.

Plain and uncoated Honesty should be the order of the day. Most persons who rant about niceness and being diplomatic; might be as rude as they come in their respective lives.

Thank you to all who have contributed and still contributing immensely and truthfully to this thread.

Lol. Just passing

Can a work visa be issued without biometrics?

DelzyB:
5M is enuf for your fees as Pfl majorly does Al1 schools. Nonetheless u need to av a gd SOA when u are abt applying for your Visa. Use google to check the SOL courses that can further enhance ur stay back in Australia. Hope this helps

OK thanks but what am asking is the 5M flight fare and living expenses is inclusive that why am asking and my sponsor is not my family member is just a family friend who is acting as sponsor he has up to 15M...The only evidence is the letter from sponsor from his private owned company...Will this budget and just the letter of sponsor fly?? I need answers from the big brothers and big sisters in the house

You need to start searching for your long term accommodation asap. Where's your Uni located, how far are you willing to travel there and what's your budget? You can pm me if you like. I can help look at accommodation on Gumtree for you.

You should get a prepaid sim card with data package as soon as you arrive at the airport(subject to your arrival time), it'll help you find your way around with Google maps. Doesn't matter which service provider you choose, you can swap later. I'm assuming that your backpackers is in the city, you can easily get a train there from the airport if you use Google maps.

I can see some zombies are still quoting me, after I had moved on from this issue.

Ok you've been noticed for 30 seconds, now go play with your mates.

No I haven't been in that situation before cos I don't have silly expectations from strangers.

You don't have any right to tell me how to react to situations, you're not my Psychotherapist and you don't pay my bills.

U guys just need to 4get all dis bla bla bla bla, think how to help each other and move forward

With all the emotional draining from DIBP we all still have strength to argue and insult, the only way is love. Focus on getting visas and help will come, no need to argue who is nice or not nice. We might face struggles at the beginning if we don't get help but mehn they are all stories for our greatness. Forget all this everyone and move on in love

symbian03:
You definitely need a psychotherapist for being disgustingly rude. Amoeba, whatever! All we're saying is get some manners. We don't really care who you are! But what you've said is the largest amount of bullssh!t I have ever heard. Bye bye

if you're in naija and a prospective student, that chic jewelstone is one of the few currently in Australia that can give you audience and have your time she just probably has a temper....it's interesting to see up here that some of the ones against her gave me stone-cold dulling when I needed them.please let's move on and continue helping each other in anyway we can......

Thank you @jewelstone for your time and help.... You're already progressing in Oz.... You could have easily stopped commenting on this thread; but you didn't.

JoeDuch:
pls house, i got my grant last week and school resumes 17th of july which is pretty close for me . i opted for deferment for next semester from the school but i was told that they will cancel my VISA for bridge of visa cos my COE is tied to the visa. If i insist to defer , they will offer me another COE while i applied for another visa. Now im confused cos on daily basis visa tends to be more dificult for Nigerians and i wouldnt know wat next few months will turn out to be. Pls Guru in house i need ypur advice plssssssssss.

Thanks
