Good morning guru's in the house.I submitted my svp application since Aug 25,since then I have not heard from them despite emails.I have not done my medicals,please kindly advice me on what to do.thanks and God bless you all.

wow, 6 weeks is definitely too much for an svp Visa. I hope ur sop is convincing. Please call them and find out what d problem is, if you are sure your application is svp.
My 2cents though

my people pls I need advice.
I recently applied for my svp 573 visa. I sent an email to Pretoria yday asking for my application status and/or acknowledgement letter. I got a response this morning.

Good day,
Please note that processing time for AL3 student visa applications is three months, you cannot import student visa applications on to an immi Account.

Regards
DIBP

Please our experienced members, lawland, futuredon, Erictack n Co. Please wat should I do? How do i correct them that I'm for svp not AL3. I didn't include any bank statement in my application. should I reply their mail as nd tell them?
Please I await ur response

Bosses. I'm having trouble satisfying GTE requirement. Without a job or future offer, no property and no spouse, I don't know what to do. My family is all I have. Please o would appreciate any advise on this matter. Or should i do deed transfer ? Or buy a very very cheap land

hi, I'm still an applicant like u so I might be wrong. but from what I've gathered and learnt from this thread, there are other ways to beat GTE without a job offer. infact it's better to be honest about it than to fabricate something and they verify and find out. you can beat GTE by being convincing in ur SOP. make sure u properly link ur course with ur academic n work history and also ur future career plans in NIGERIA. if u are SVP, it also reduces d amt of evidence u will need to show. however, if u have d money then feel free to buy d land if u must, I guess that can also serve as home tie.
I now handover to Oga lawland, n Futuredon to lay emphasis.
October of numerous grants for us all.

olajiggar:
Hi guys, I'll like to share a gd new here...have bin helpn my brother sort out his study visa thru the insight given here...he got his grant on Tuesday. Am very greatful to dis platform and all the contributors. Keep the gd work guys.

P.S: if anyone has cheap and less stressful air route should pls hook me up. Thanks in anticipation.

that's great newz. we're happy 4 ur family and Also key into it this month.
pls do tell us his visa subclass and share his timeline for us. that will be very encouraging.

As for airline, check out IOM packages.

atrapon:
House am about to lodge my application next week,i have Bsc from naija uni and am my intended course is advanced diploma..dosnt it look retrogressive.any suggestion??

I wish you d best of luck in ur application. I dnt think you'll have any problem with d advanced diploma so long as you write a strong and convincing SOP. it will also help if there is a link between ur Bsc and d Adv Dip. this will help u beat GTE.
dnt worry, this Oct will be a month of visa grant overflow for all of us.

alaoeri:
Best of luck bro.

thanks

alaoeri:
From Festac/Mile 2 axis, board a bus going to Oshodi/Maryland/Ojota highlight at Maryland, enter another bus going to Ikeja from Maryland passing through Mobolaji Bank Anthony way highlight at Abule Onigbabo bus stop, coming from Maryland Etiebet building housing Teleperformance office should be by your right.

Thanks a lot.
I dnt think I can get a bus straight to Maryland from festac, So I guess I'll get to oshodi first den continue as u have directed. Thanks 4 assisting a JJC. can't wait to share my testimony here on NL.
wish me luck my people.

my people good morning oh!!!
pls I need directions to go to teleperformance Lagos. I'll be going from festac town. So please which buses do I use n which bus stops to highlight.
I await suggestions.

laminaria:
number1 reason is question 40..any of ur relative in your home country who is neither accompanying nor joining you in oz. ans : any of your family members.
number3: is not really important cos alot of people got d visa and yes they are single without putting any future wife or husband name on it
but i tink question 40 is compulsory...if u are yet to apply u can do d needful and if already applied, put faith in GOD.
bros u wicked o...u go dig out my painful past anyway #Godwin.

lolz, sorry 4 digging up d past, but na d present n future matter pass. I'm also not a Bros oh. Regarding number 1 question 40, I am yet to apply So I can put my Dad or my siblings there right?

laminaria:
after more than 3months of waiting I got d shock of my life from Pretoria (visa denied) I Neva saw it coming... assessment level3.
reasons... (1)I didn't including any family members in my form157A
( 2)I do not have a financial or home tie to my country.
(3) d fact am single.
with some other reasons that I carefully stated it in my SOP.
am just saying this for other to learn one tin or d other.....
tanks to everyone on dis tread,
jennykadry wherever u are, futuredon, iriferi,Mrnilobrawn,bossladymo1, equilibrium.
Above all To God be d glory(amen).
*tears rolling*

Hi, just going thru your posts again when I saw dis one. Numbers 1 and 3 reason. I am single too and didn't include any family members in my form 157A. How does dat affect ones visa because I can't put my immediate family's name there as they specified that ur family members are ur spouse n kids not parents and siblings.

erictack203:
I will be in Lagos on Wednesday for the Australian Govt Meeting holding 24th, 25th and 26th at Ikeja. If you are in Lag, I can preview your docs b4 you submit to teleperformance. That is if you are not sure of your application package. Student Visa process with pretoria is a little tricky these days. they are becoming serious with SVP applicants. Thats y you see ppl here on NL laying more emphasis of strong SOP.

wow, dat will really be helpful because I want to submit on dat Wednesday b4 d public holidays. So, pls how can we arrange d meeting. You havent responded to my pm.

Hello house, today is really good. lots of useful info.A big Thanks to all our chairmen.
pls one more questn. in fillin form 157a, wat are we expected to write regarding salary level on work experience. is it the actual amt or what? because some of us dnt knw d actual level scale used.

laminaria:
hmmmm....try and talk wit your boss to state that on your reference letter that serves as home tie too. honestly i dont understand what u mean by bank verification document from teleperformance.
btw i just noticed you and 2posh are asking d same questions in different way. all d same, go tru their checklist very well.

Thanks 4 all ur quick responses, we appreciate. You keep mentioning a strong Sop, can u please show us an example.
Also, did u get a call from Pretoria at any time b4 u got ur visa like maybe for interview.

laminaria:
Dont complicate issue bro, i didn't use anything as form of financial evidence....i hope u already ticked svp on your form157A. .wen u get to telerperformance, they will also give u a form to tick...there also u tick that u av financial strength to cover all ur expenses and that's settles it.
as for your sponsorship letter.. i didn't sumbit any tho. if u are working company letter will fil d vacuum amd strong SoP. but if u are not then mayb either of ur parents.

Thanks, I am working in a hospital and my reference letter just says I work with them n nothing else. I will definitely do as advised here to avoid complications. So wat did u tick in their checklist regarding bank verification document, I saw that in teleperformance list.

laminaria:
like lawland said...u dont need to worry ursef on that so far is svp route...u will only tick that on ur visa application. ..just make sure ur sop really strong and make sure u use anything time that can suggest ur coming bak to naija as home tie
yes my application is svp..and no bank statements required.

@laminaria, Congratulations.
In d place of bank statement did you have to show any other form of financial evidence, like sponsorship letter or separate declaration or something as @erictack203 said. If Yes, pls clarify. I'm going to teleperformance this week n I want to be fully prepared to avoid wahala. I'm also using SVP like u did. pls I await ur valued response.

chi50:
@erictack203, Thanks. I have declared it on the form. but I dnt understand whc other declaration u are talking abt. please can u clarify or show me a sample. u can pm me. will my in-law and my sis also have to declare.

my people Happy Sunday to u all. I'll be going to Teleperformance this week for my application. SVP and without bank statement. wish me luck oh.

@erictack203, pls I'm still waiting for ur reply So dat I can draft mine and submit.

lawland:
I used age declaration

Wow, really? So I can definitely use a Local Govt birth certificate if I can't wait for the NPC.
I Also sent u a pm earlier

All the gurus in d house, I hail oh. where is everybody? there are many unanswered questions in the forum.

I am seconding @2posh's question abt using local govt birth certificate.

@erictack203, I'm still waiting for ur response regarding d declaration.

erictack203:
All SVP applicatns don't need Statement. Just declare you have funds to cover yourself and sign on a plane sheet of paper, typed. I have done this for over 50ppl for Aussie Visa applicatn and they got their grantss. Wish u luck.

@erictack203, Thanks. I have declared it on the form. but I dnt understand whc other declaration u are talking abt. please can u clarify or show me a sample. u can pm me. will my in-law and my sis also have to declare.

. :-XHello house, please I knw dis question is old but I still will like to know.
Do people actually get visa thru svp without bank statement? if Yes, how common is it. I just want to avoid unnecessary delays when I apply, complicating my application because my Bro in-law is my sponsor.

I promise not to ask dis again.

lawland:
Yes it is, like i said before, you are allowed to come in 4 months before your course starts

Hi, I sent u another mail. still waiting for ur reply.

lawland:
Yes, they will grant you visa regardless of when your OSHC starts as long as you have one in place. By this time 2013, i already got my visa grant for feb start and i traveled almost at once.

Its been long i wrote SOP but i can help you review yours.
Is your application SVP?

@lawland,
Yes,It's SVP.
So is it safe to write November in d form as d date that I intend to arrive in Australia.

I also sent u an anonymous email requesting ur permission to let me pm u but u haven't replied. I would like to show u the Sop that I drafted and ask u someother personal questns.

lawland:

Yes, it is SVP

lawland:
Yes you can apply, you are allowed to come into the country 4 months before your course starts.

@lawland, thanks once again. but pls do you feel It's possible that they'll grant me a visa without health insurance to cover me til that Jan dat my OSHC starts.

Also, pls I've been trying to send u an email. I really need assistance with how to write a good SOP.

I also dnt knw d documents I need to show for evidence of future employment to enable my home ties.

Thanks, once again 4 always being there 4 us.

lawland:
If your application is SVP, then don't include any statement of account to avoid any complications, just stick to the checklist.
Your birth certificate and age declaration will do.

@lawland.

Tnks, but in Teleperformance's checklist evidence of funds like bank statement is needed.

I also just received my coe, can I apply now against travel in Nov despite the fact that my oshc starts in January.

tnks @lawland.
I'm applying under SVP though I'm a Nigerian.
Also I hope It's not too early to apply now.

My birth certificate is also the one I had from birth and i also have an affidavit of age declaration.
My name was misspelt in the NPC certificate, so I've been using the affidavit.

Also I'm open to suggestions and helpful info from the house regarding my visa application.

God help us all

Hello everyone,
You guys are all doing a fine job here.
pls I'm new to dis thread. I was introduced by a friend n I honestly wish I knew abt dis earlier.
Pls I just payed for a Bsc course in holmesglen TAFE, I'm awaiting my eCOE.
My course starts Feb and I really want to travel in November, can I apply for my visa this Sept.
Also, my brother in-law is my sponsor so I hope I wont have issues.

One other thing is dat when applying to the school I mistakenly wrote dat I haven't travelled b4. now I dnt knw wat to fill in my visa form cos I have travelled to Togo twice with my old passport.
