Pls tnx but what is OSCH

Best is to apply for a packaged offer from PGD to Masters, you may pay for the PGD and your OSCH to qualify for your CoEs.

Goodluck!

Pls I nid advice

For the young man not to have a reject record in Pretoria, he should apply for Masters in Agric or soil science or environmental science or Botany.

Else he will waste his time and his money. There is no long thing about it.

Hello Dear Nairalanders,

I have a question. Yes, one directed to anyone studying at Charles Darwin University. Is it a safe place to for International students? A family member was offered admission for July intake but she heard that Darwin was unsafe as it was know for drug peddling, rape, and all sorts of crimes especially form the Aborigines in the area.

Can someone please give an opinion on this. Please i need an urgent response as time is running out.
Thanks

Thanks Ray! How that side na?

Yes what he needs an international driver license, that was what I was told also. The local driver license is just for identification since u won't be carrying ur international passport around.


@Ericta.. is sis not bro o. Abekeade1 is a beautiful lady not a man

@matand I am still waiting for ur reply sis.


And pls house, someone should answer this for, can a student book flight ticket under IOM, read on this forum sometimes ago that they don't deal with students again only PR.
I want to know if I can book under them, though I see Etihad for 357+ for myself and one kid sha. Anyone looking to book should always try weekend starting from Friday night to Sunday night, flight is always cheap them most especially ETIHAD.

May God favour and guide our path, Amen.

You're welcome bro!

dodobytes:
please anyone applying to University of Tasmania (Australian Maritime College)?

I have few questions I could use some help in tackling.

Everyone has a place where his/her destiny is waiting for him. If not this Country, it will be that Country.

God has his designed a place for everyone!

That's why we don't have to give up or put our eggs in one basket, one man's food is another man's poison. Not all Countries that has the milk we seek in as much as it has the said milk for others.

Congratsssss once more!!!

My fellow E-family, it's been a long journey and today, I am finally ready to share my Success with the House.

As you all know, I applied to Study Nursing at the Australian Catholic University Melbourne Campus but was denied Visa by Pretoria September last year. With the Courage of the great ppl of this house, I didn't give up, I garthered myself and re-applied to Metro College of Technology for an Advanced Diploma of Disability in Brisbane.

After paying my fees, gotten my CoEs and applied for Visa to Pretoria in early November, I called Pretoria towards the Xmas break in December and I was told that my CoEs were Cancelled and my application will now be accessed as an AL3 application.

I was so confused (I used a registered Migration Agent and an Australian Legal Practitioner), I contacted my Lawyer and informed her, she tried calling Pretoria to no avail and then tried contacting the School, no one is answering, we waited till after the Xmas and contacted them again over and over, no response, I almost shit on my pants, my Lawyer then contacted CRISCOS and found out that Metro College has been de-registered(Closed Down) by the Australian Government. Luckily for me, we were able to get in Torch with the CEO whom then refunded my Money to a Trust Account in Australia.

In this case, we have to amend my application which is still at Pretoria, I then applied for a related program at Queensland International Institute (QII) and made the fee payments and sent a fresh application through my Agent/Lawyer to Pretoria, Early January, Pretoria didn't send any response when we kept contacting them, they will keep telling you 3months.

On the 22nd of February, I got an email from my Lawyer with a Refusal Notification from Pretoria, using the Metro CoEs to assess my application after series of emails and phone calls informing them about my new CoEs and application amendments, they still used the old CoEs which they all knew has been cancelled to assess the application (Negligence). My Lawyer hit back and hit hard pointing out a "Jurisdictional Error" to the CO, the case was moved to the Senior Regional Director of Immigration in Africa, she then sent us an email that they have sent my application to their Legal Opinions Department in Pretoria to have a review, that once the Legal Department gives their Opinion, a fresh assessment will be made on my application.

I say "wetin" so to enter Australia again na fight? Where ppl are getting grants here and there my own case is different, to some extent I even thought I was cursed.

I decided to try another route, I actually needed this Nursing, I asked my Cousin about life as a Student in the USA, he told me and also told me that USA rejects Visa like Virus, that it's a no go area, my wife advice me not to be discouraged and that I should try, my friend in Darwin (Australia) kept advising about USA and the good opportunities there, I decided to try.

I applied for Admission in BSN(Nursing) and I also applied to the Embassy with my Family for a B1/B2 Visa, to my greatest surprise, we were all granted. I applied for the Admission early March and last week Thursday, I got an Offer to Study Nursing at University of Central Oklahoma, USA. While I was planning how to attend another Student Visa interview, I contacted my new School and told them I intend to Visit them for 2weeks and return to Nigeria to apply for an F1 Visa. The Office advised me that no need, that if I have a valid Visitors Visa and have not enrolled in a School or take an Employment or breach the Visa by over staying and so on, that I am qualified to change my Status to an F1 Visa.

https://www.uscis.gov/working-united-states/students-and-exchange-visitors/students-and-employment/special-instructions-b-1b-2-visitors-who-want-enroll-school

So, I took and deep breath and said "well, that's it" my Fate is in USA. Life is all about persistent and never to give up. My program starts in August and I wan just enter the town go enjoy small for 2 weeks and come back, make I clear all the wahala wey Pretoria gimme since last year.

I will like to advice everyone here, whether you are a Visa applicant or seeking to Study or those already Abroad: you all should never give up in your Quest, God's time is always the best and the greatest, no one or any situation should make you feel regret, stand up to your challenges and set your sails, trust me, you will achieve results.

I dedicate my Special thanks to Almighty God. And I appreciate the Gurus in this House; Laminaira, Mrlinobrawn, Oga Bellong, NNBB, Lawland, Scrollmein, Pmiller, Aussy4me, our BossLadymo1, MPop. And everyone that has contributed to the building of this great thread, I will never forget our main Boss in this House (Oga Justwise) for his good works in keeping this thread alive, may God grant you all your heart desires and strengthen you more.

I urge all of us in this great forum to keep up the good works and never abandon any1 who needs help, we should not run from the house whether we get what we came here for or not, life is a circle and every1 has his/her SET TIME.

God bless you and God bless Nairaland.

Thanks bro. It's my pleasure!

Replace the GTB with Zenith. GTB na Sentimental Bank, they favour ppl they know in Form A. First Bank, Zenith Bank, UBA, Union Bank, Stanbic IBTC and Access Bank are cool. Diamond Bank go waste your time with grammer.

jorgan:
For those that are yet to pay their fees, I will give u the following advice:-

- use any of the leading banks in Nigeria to process your payment (First bank, Union bank, Gtbank or Stanbic IBTC)

- Don't let the restriction on forex discourage you, the earlier you fill the form A, the better for you.

- When you fill the Form A with any of the listed banks above, no matter what do not withdraw your application. Just make sure that the bank has stamped and signed where neccessary and has submitted your application to their headquarters.

- It can take as long as 4 weeks for the bank to supply your application with forex. So be patient

- Donot put your eggs in one basket. Explore other means to get your school fees across.

Goodluck
