Yes, just one line of sentence and (please find attached the said CS letter).
Having gone through some of the points or considerations I raised previously and you have considered them as something you can take care of or have been taking care of, you can move ahead with your plans.

All the best bro!..

IamphilVitalis:
Albion, the reason for the financial support is already in the CS letter. Do i also need to include that same reason in the sop myself?
TravelRe: General Australian Student Visa Enquiries Part 3 by Albion05: 5:22pm On Feb 12, 2018
-Yes you can have two sponsors for your visa application.
-I believe the first sponsor is related to you and who is bringing the bulk money here, the primary sponsor or the co- sponsor?..
- Using a sponsor not related to you can be at times difficult to sale through except you explained the relationship between you and the sponsor, get letter of sponsorship from the said co-sponsor as well as Affidavit of sponsorship from the co-sponsor to have something legally binding both of you.

Or possiblly, let the co- sponsor demonstrate his/her geniunes in sponsoring you by transferring the said amount to your account and in his/her letter of sponsorship, that will be stated that he or she has transferred the said money to your account. You also have to print your Statement of account to show actuallly that the said amount was transferred to your account by the sponsor.

TravelRe: General Australian Student Visa Enquiries Part 3 by Albion05: 5:11pm On Feb 12, 2018
First of all, we need to understand your discipline or program you are going for in OZ and what is this company that you want to get the said employment sponsorship letter from as you rightly said are into.

In your SOP, you have to clearly states who is your primary sponsor and mention in one sentence why this company will or have decided to release a small amount of money for your trip. The CO will want to know the connection between you and this company and why this company is given you the said amount, or have you help to contribute to the growth of the company. What is it that the company have benefited from you in rendering such financial assistance to you.

The truth is that most companies do not sponsor an employee to any trip, be it education, medical or tourist without the employee rendering at least 2 years of service to the company. Even study leave, no company will give you study leave without been with them for at least a minimum of 2 years.

For you to maunover this, you need the employment letter to be back dated to at least 2 to 3 years for the issue of such company to partially render financial assistance to you to sale through in the eyes of the CO except this company is a family company which you are part of the shareholder and as such don't necessarily matter how long you have been with them as long as your name is listed as one of the share holders of the company, no problem about that.

So all you have to submit is the employment letter, introduction letter from the company, reference letter from the company, the financial assistance from the company, work ID, no pay slips because there is no record for it in your account that you have been receiving salary from this company, so you have to remove the pay slips.

IamphilVitalis:
Someone who knows please respond to me abeg. Oga Albion i dey look your face o....Is it possible you get employment sponsorship letter indicating the financial assistance and support the company is rendering to you as their employee and then get statement of account from another source?

TravelRe: General Australian Student Visa Enquiries Part 3 by Albion05: 12:10am On Feb 12, 2018
If you are submittting an employment letter from the afromentioned company/health care related company, of course the Embassy at his/her own personal will, can chose to verify.
So use an entity which can be verified in case the DIBP decides to verify.


IamphilVitalis:
@albion05 thanks alot. Am only using the company to get employment letter as their employee.... Another thing is does the school and dibp in anyway check and confirm if a healthcare related organization/company is registered in the government agency in charge of registering companies/healthcare related companies

Thanks for the responses


It's my brothers wife!my agent didn't sense it!till i changed an agent who sensed it and made demand for it

Can i pm you on whatsapp and you showed document Wch my sponsor said will cover that
TravelRe: General Australian Student Visa Enquiries Part 3 by Albion05: 11:44pm On Feb 11, 2018
Most of us here our resumption date is 19th February, 2018. Automatically our COE will expire after this date of resumption stated on our admission letter. The best we can do is to write to our different schools to get an extension date to resume , most schools gives 1 week or 2 weeks extension after the resumption date.
So write to your school to know how long an extension date will be given to you.

Getting new COE will be very clear in the sense that the CO did not approved your Visa even after the extension period issued to you by your school.

We have seen cases were the CO personally request for new COE when is clear to them that they can not meet up again in finalizing your application before your start date.

For the said Bank Statement of account of your sponsor which you said he/she printed online without going to his/her financial institution to get this, stamp and append their signature to authenticate the said document.

You and I know that anybody can print bank statement online so far as you are doing online banking but what makes it genuine is the seal, signature and the reference number that comes along on the letter headed paper the bank used in printing the bank statement and the issuance of the reference letter in affairming the authencicity of the document.

If I may ask, what stops your sponsor from approaching the bank to get the said documents.

For now, it has moved from your reach, I believe you Certified or notorized the said documents when you got it.

For the question you asked about your chance, in all sincerity my dear, am not CO. Am also an applicant like you. Just pray to your creator that the CO will never taught of delving into this.
I pray for you this day, that you shall scale through in this but do not try anything that will help the CO flaw your application.

The statement of account of my sponsor which I submitted the DIBP said is non genuine, more over this statement of account was printed, signed and issued by my sponsors bank. Just imagine were a case of such nature arises, how will you approach the bank to write to refute any claim made by DIBP that the statement of account of your sponsor was issued and emanated from them. This was made possible for me because the Bank issued the said statement of account and attested to it by writing a letter and addressed it to DIBP that the said statement of account was issued to them and they can verify.
Am taking my time to type this because I want applicant to be cautious as regards to all their documents via Visa application.
As I stated earlier, I pray they don't question your sponsors statement of account.
Remove your mind totally from it.

uckennety:
That's i wish i have you email!

My coe expires on Feb 19th do i need to get another one or wait for case officer?


2ndly i have a partial problem my sponsor in s.Africa didn't get the soa from the bank printed it via online banking not stamped by the bank so i submitted it like that!

Please what are my chances?
TravelRe: General Australian Student Visa Enquiries Part 3 by Albion05: 10:48pm On Feb 11, 2018
Since you have already applied for your Visa with the IELTS that will expire on April 2nd, that one have covered you. It will be part of your documents that will be assessed for your Visa application because is still valid.

For you booking and writing another one in March 10th, I have no worries with that. You can use it when you enter OZ to apply for other things, like PR if the score band averagely is 7.0 in all band for you to be placed in an advantaged position. Or if the embassy delays in assessing your application on time and that one you submitted initially expires without your application been attended to, they might ask based on the Case Officer personal description.


uckennety:
I have applied for visa since January 10th

My ielts will expire on April 2nd

TravelRe: General Australian Student Visa Enquiries Part 3 by Albion05: 10:00pm On Feb 11, 2018
You can apply with it for the admission.
But for the Visa application, that won't be valid by the time you want to apply for Visa. So, is necessary you will get a new one for your Visa application.

DonFAASHY:
Good day my people, please I have an IELTS wch expires by Nextmonth(March) and I intend applying now for July intake. Do I need to write another IELTS for Visa application par adventure am given admission before the expiry date.
TravelRe: General Australian Student Visa Enquiries Part 3 by Albion05:
Licensed in what sense?..
you said is not registered but licensed by who ?
Please explain more!.. for you to get a better suggestion.

Meanwhile, if you are only using an employment letter from such company to show that you are their employee, no problem. Also try to get letter of introduction from the company, the employment letter you mentioned, reference letter from the company.

I believe you are not really working with this company. Furnish them with proper information as regard to your application, personal data and other information that will be of use to them in case the embassy came calling on them to verify your claim.

But if you intend to use this company as your primary sponsor, bro you have to tidy the application very well.
Sponsorship by a company without them genuinely elaborating your position in the company, why the company has decided to spend their hard earned money to sponsor their employee and what the company stands to gain by this training they are sending you to.

All this should be well defined by the company and of course the owner or the Board memebers have to append their signatures that they are in support of this----(Board Resolution) The statement of account should be enough to show that such company is not nearing moribound.

I hope this has given you another angle to your case.

IamphilVitalis:
Thanks guys, i appreciate.
Another question is that can a company that is not yet registered but is licensed sponsor you with an employment letter.

I Certified the statement of account of my sponsor just the way the bank gave it to him, but for documents like my certificates and license, I made photocopies of them and certified those copies photocopied.

IamphilVitalis:
@albion05 you mean the statement of account a person would summit to dibp would be photocopied one right?
TravelRe: General Australian Student Visa Enquiries Part 3 by Albion05: 12:26am On Feb 10, 2018
The same start date with me, let's be hopeful. Next week shall be a testimony time for each and everyone of us.

Solitin40:
19 February
TravelRe: General Australian Student Visa Enquiries Part 3 by Albion05: 12:22am On Feb 10, 2018
It means to certify your documents that the photocopy you are submitting on seeing the original, then the photocopy will be certified that is the same thing with the original documents.

All the documents going to DIBP should be certified or notorized.
Notary public uses the word notorize more often but Court uses the word certified but these two words can be used interchangeably.

synonyms of Certified: verify, guarantee, attest, validate, ratify, warrant, confirm, corroborate, substantiate, endorse, vouch for, testify to, provide evidence of, authenticate, document;

You can go to any licensed notary public or Court to notorized or certify your documents.

IamphilVitalis:
@albion05 please what does it mean by to notorise the statement of account
TravelRe: General Australian Student Visa Enquiries Part 3 by Albion05: 8:40pm On Feb 09, 2018
That's good sign dear.
Print the statement of account on Monday with reference letter from the bank. Don't forget to notorize it.
It will end in praise.

@Ayolachris, do not loose hope dear.
Find any sporting activity or leisure and engage your self in it. Any Diversional Therapy will help you overcome this. Time heals everything in life.

You just need to engage your self in any social activity and a responsible social group to be precise.
Gulf Club, Lawn tennis, or any sports of your choice. Do those things that will make you happy. Definitely, you will be with your wife sooner than you expected.

Time heals everything!.... Surely you will get over it in a matter of days or weeks depending how you let it go and re-channel your energy, knowing fully well that you will definitely be with your wife, if not today, tomorrow and if not tomorrow, the next following day.
May you experience the spirit of calmness!..

Bro, so sorry. I know for sure that this things is not easy at all. After waiting for several months and such reply came up.

Put yourself together, address the issue raised. She is your wife and definitely you can not abandon her over there.

In your next application, write an epistle telling the CO how devastating it is for you not seeing your spouse in a long time. This time you need enough assets to be able to convinced the CO..... boast your Statement of account to at least 10 million, present Stocks or bonds if you have any, get quantity/Estate surveyour or estate management agency to evaluate your landed property and present it.
Any thing that can boast your home tie back to Nigeria just try and do it.

Our prayers and taughts are with you!...
There is always another chance to prove to them that your are genuinely applicant.

TravelRe: Living In Australia/life As An Australian Immigrant by Albion05: 5:26pm On Feb 06, 2018
Oga Bellong, do not worry your self any longer.
You have said it all.
Most people traveling out of the country just want good quality of life for their family. I can't imagine bringing up a child in an hostile environment were Nepotism, Favouritism and injustice is considered as a way of life. Thereby throwing out hardwork, justice, fairness, and good qualities that makes a good society.

Some body will work and at the end of the day to pay the worker nah problem.
Just imagine were medical doctors, Nurses, Phamarcist and other Health Personnel will work and at the end of the day, you will be owing them 3, 4 months salaries as the case may be forgotten that they have families and extended families as well to carter for.
Any body comparing Australia to Nigeria is just living in denial.

If you know that the quality of life you want can be found in Nigeria, please stay in Nigeria but if you know that the quality of life you want can not be found in Nigeria but in XYZ country please do relocate to those XYZ Country and live a quality life. Life is just once and must be explored and enjoyed to its conclusion.
God bless you all in everything you do.

We are always welcome to share our experiences in OZ to help others make an informed decision. But to talk down, or degrade Australia that I don't support.

I have families, friends and colleagues who are testimonies to quality of life they got in OZ, no doubt, there were a trying period for them in OZ but that didn't deterred them in any way. In a period of months, they found their feet.
God bless you @ Bellong and other OZ families on the thread!. Peace!.


bellong:
@Pidgin2,

You have mentioned isolated cases of conquest which is not restricted to any race.
If you know your history, you will understand that within Africa, minority had conquered the majority in the past. Empires have risen and fallen in the past and will still rise and fall in the future. Why are the minority still not in control in the countries you listed?

Things can only go on as long as people don't kick against it.

You took the statement out of context. In any given society, the majority dominates the minority if the minority allows it.

Why I am exchanging posts with you which I usually don't do is to put things in perspective to you and others who may be in your situation.

I will repeat this, Racism, tribalism, discrimination and prejudice are social issues which are part of human existence irrespective of colour or orientation. Across the world, there are too many cases of racism, high scale tribalism, prejudice etc in every country. To expect a society free of them is to have an unrealistic expectations. Show me one single country that is free of any of these social issues and I will bring up numerous data to counter it.

If someone is leaving his country to a place where his group is the minority and expects that there wouldn't be discrimination, that person should rather go to heaven than traveling around the world. We cannot help it as humans, it will surely occur.

Mind you the racism we are talking about here in this country is subtle and not the 18th century racism you have been described. I live in the city which probably has the lowest number of Nigerians and I have not experienced the type of racism you have described.

Before I lose focus of the message, what I am saying is that nobody has described Australia to be heaven or a country without any social or political issues but if you want to live in a reasonable society where quality of life is important to you, Australia is one of the countries to consider. The problem with you and others in your group believe everybody is leaving the country for economic prosperity. Life is more than money my sister. In my experience of living in different societies, Nigeria does not come close to a society with decency.

I read one of your threads where you are complaining about how bad Nigerian doctors are. I believe most of your comments here are just denial of the truth. In a sane society, patients are treated with respect and best care rendered. If Nigeria is all what you claim it is, you should be content with the medical services.

I have enjoyed good medical service at a very cheap cost and also treated with respect by medical professionals. You can't say the same.

Like I said previously, the writer's experience in Melbourne is his experience which I respect but it is not an invitation for you to compare sanity with insanity.

Thank you.
TravelRe: Living In Australia/life As An Australian Immigrant by Albion05:
You are right dear. Research for cities were your profession will Favour you.

In all sincerity, you cant compare Australia to Nigeria. Australia is far above Nigeria in over 70% of indices available.

SUJYDEE:
Bros @AdeyinkaSeun....Ehya! I dey feel your pain, different people with different experiences sha.

I guess your expectations were just too high nii and those folks you said they used to come online to vomit the truth, the truth is they can't stand we Nigerians in anything you can think of so there situations would always be like that.

I am very sure the blackouts you mentioned were planned blackouts and announcements must have been made 3 months before that day(maybe you missed the announcement nii) and majorly the blackout will be for maintenance.

My advice for people coming, don't say because my friend or family is in Melbourne, I must live in Melbourne. No, it doesn't work that way.... Do your research and look for where opportunities are for you before finally leaving Naija. What works for them might not work for you.

As advised by Bellong and others, try another cities.... Goodluck! Boys are not smiling in Naija o.
