Just a thin line to cross, but the CO cut it. I will have to do some courses here and apply again later as well as try PR route for my wife. Their wahala still too much jooor.

mPop:
jesus christ how come

Thanks a lot, I think the problem I had was the course I applied for. I couldn't beat the GTE.

ashioba:
Erictack my brother, so sorry about the visa refusal, pls don't give up, remember Abraham Lincon, even our Buhari.TRY AGAIN. God will favour you.

@lawland, I think I really messed up bro, my refusal letter has no room for appeal. It stated that there is no right to review. I think the problem is GTE. I am thinking of doing a program here in Nigeria on my current qualification once completed, I will run for Masters on Logistics/Project Mgt in future or apply for PR. My wife also qualifies for PR, as Customer Service Manager, I think we will keep an eye on the SA Occupational list and other list, once it comes up again, we will apply. What do u think?

lawland:
Pls don't do this as you will even get a heavier refusal... You are definitely refused based on GTE... i suggest you study the criteria and you will understand where i am coming from.. Even though your application is SVP, you still have to demonstrate you are a genuine student. Try an appeal instead of re-applying and explain why you choose nursing cos its not related to your degree and also show evidence of your employment and offer of employment upon return and mind you that you can't study nursing in Australia and return home to work in logistics!!! So your job offer should be on the course you want to undertake. ... like i said, you messed your application up..

@Chuckdee13.

Thanks a lot bro, I will work on it. Thanks again.

chuckdee13:
@erictack203 really sorry for the refusal but I strongly urge u to reconsider applying again cos u might be making money and have a "good" life here but a better life awaits u n ur family over there with alot more benefits. God guide ur decision though...

@FutureDon.

Thanks a lot for your insight. I think I will apply for an Adv Dip in Nursing and revisit the issue.

Thanks.

FutureDon:
Oh mehn!! Sorry about the denial bro. I swear I would have guess that the bolded statement was the reason behind the denial if you hadn't stated it here. It just gets really complicated if one is claiming to be re-hired post-study. If one really wants to walk this route, concrete and easily verifiable evidence should be provided. For example, I reviewed a SoP and an employer's letter of a prospective visa applicant. On the SoP, the applicant stated that he will return to search for job post-study while the employer's letter reads that a job position awaits the applicant post-study. A mistake as this one can lead to an application being denied.

Again, sorry to hear about this. Good luck with whatever next step you plan to take.

Thanks a lot boss, I am trying to think my next line of action.

@All, I want to thank you all for your views, your love, may God grant you all your heart desires.

God bless all in this thread.

@erictack203,

So sorry about that. You should not give up at all; try as much as possible to reapply and try to provide evidence, especially that financial aspect and provide linkage to the program with what you are doing in Nigeria.

I applied to Australian Catholic University, Melbourne Campus. I have filed for a refund. I will do a think and maybe apply to another School. 60% of my Work Exp are in Logistics and Travel Services, 50% Educational History is First Aid and Healthcare and 40% of my work exp is Healthcare. I believe the CO tried to Balance the probabilities, though it wasn't Stated. She only stated that she couldn't verify my current employment and was also not Happy that I have BTEC Edexcel in Travel & Tourism Mgt, whereas am going for Nursing. That is y am a little bit confuse and trying to give up, she put me in a tight corner. My problem is whether to apply for Adv Dip in Nursing again (Because my previous Sch is too expensive and I have filed for a refund, Adv Dip in Nursing will be cheaper) or I apply for a Degree in Logistics Mgt. That is what I am currently reviewing with my Migration Lawyers in Australia.

I will like to advice the House: any1 that has been refused and wants to reapply should use a MARA Agent (Registered) they are mostly scared to re-refuse one because the Migration Lawyers knows the Law and SVP has a lot of Visa privileges, they mostly refuses Students Bcus we don't know the Law and cannot argue with them. If you apply tru your Migration Lawyer, every correspondence will be directed to the Lawyer if at all and the CO will be careful doing this. That is y you see most people here gets the SVP grants within 5working days. I wish all of you the best while I try to decide on my next line of action.

Love you all!

symbian03:
What's your proposed Australian school of choice? Try Australia bro, you definitely won't regret it. Quality education and captivating atmosphere. You might wanna try ECU or Murdoch? Best of luck man and remember, giving up is a sin.

Thanks a lot bro. I have decided not to goto Oz again. I will remain and do my business. Thanks all the same.

NNBB2012:
Sad to hear about your visa refusal. You could appeal the decision or re-apply with additional documents.

Ok Boss,

Thanks alot.

lawland:
I think you messed up your application in the first place, when dealing with visa application and you claim something, you definitely need something to back it up, i don't actually blame her but will rather plan you. I advise you appeal her decision and this time, show evidence that she is seeking. IMMI normally seek clarification before they make decision even though they have the power to make decisions based on the docs you submitted. Just appeal mate...

That is just the reason, "You Stated that you will be re-hired by your current employer when you return, but no evidence to this and your employment cannot be verified" no 1 was called and I wasn't even called. So my brother, y won't I leave them? She even stated that my Family ties and so on shows that I will return to Nigeria after my studies and but she wasn't sure of this, she was contradicting herself. This is to show that they refuses ppl Visas base on personal reasons. It's so crazy menh.

lawland:
Sorry for the refusal mate, but i find it hard to believe the reason you gave for the denial especially cos your application is SVP... It took quite a long time too and you are giving up easily. Its just not adding up to me.

Forget Non SVP, do SVP.

standupguy:
Please if anyone can be so kind to help me clarify,
Is there any advantage of non- SVP over SVP.
Which one would you encourage?

My brother, those ppl thinks they are God and they are not, I will not re-apply to beg them to gimme Visa when I am spending my money. Australian should not pretend they don't need the money. Currently, Australia realize almost 14billion dollars per annum from International Students, that is why the Minister is trying to introduce the new SSVF.

I told my friends and loved ones, that if they don't grant me Visa, I will not beg, I will live my life here and assist ppl on this thread they way I can, like I said b4, every1 must not goto or enter Australia, some ppl are destined to help others achieve their goals towards a success in their Visas. I think I am such person, I have been refused Visas to Study severally in some Countries, I decided to try Oz, same thing, and yet I have helped over 500ppl to travel as Students, so u guys should be surprise y mine don't work, my destiny is not in overseas. It's here in 9ja. I dun try reach, make I rest. Yet I always get Visas for Visits and Zero for studies.

standupguy:
I share your frsutration it gets insulting by the day.
I was sponsored by my blood sibling who is an asistant bank manager who had already sponsered my older brother to canada and another who is a succesrul business owner whom I work with, I initially paid 7000 for my first semester tution but I was refused a Canadian visa for insufficient funds, in my confusion I reapplied again with more documents to prove finance but was refused the second time for insufficient funds and personal assets, then I released they wanted to see my own financial input.
So i applied with me bank accounts, fixed deopists and stock portfolio inclusive.
Unfortunately my school didn't have my program for Sept so i applied to another school for the same program then paid of my tuition of $27500. Only to be refused last month for purpose of visit and length of stay.
People are now telling me the cause was because the program was termed graduate certificate in the initial school i used for application but called fast track advanced diploma in the second school.
So the V.O considered advanced diploma lower than my b.eng. so my application was refused on the bases of academic progression.......imagine that?

Both program had Bsc as there admission requirement and considered a post graduate program on the schools website respectively.
At the moment bringing back my $27500 would see me loose 600,000 is FX.
It is quite insulting, the fund is there, the intention to study is there but people still get refused for flimsy excuses.
This is the first time I am reading about a refusal on this Australia thread. I am about applying to Australia and U.S at the same time so I sincerely hope I am not about to through my money away again.

Oga Eric I understand the quest to secure the future especially for the kids, me never get one sha.
I really don't know what to tell you obviously I am discomobulated myself but e go better.

Ok dear, I am still thinking about it, whether to continue my interest in oz or not. I can have my MD write to them and add the Company registration documents as well as add my own personal company docs where I and my wife are the shareholders, we usually do supplies of phamacitical Materials, I can also attach a bank statement showing transactions on the Company name. I get docs to backup, but it occurred to me whether if I really need Australia, we are doing well here in 9ja.

If not that I am thinking of the situation of the Country. Kinda confuse though. I will think whether I need their Visa or not, afterall am going there to spend several millions annually. It's sucks.

alaoeri:
Mail your C.O & ask for the main reason for refusal, don't want you to give up just like that.

Thanks, I think will do a small vacation with my Fams to clear my head. And get a new car with my refund of course

Bryanpro:
Total Bullshit mahn... Am sorry about yours too bro... It's well

No first degree, I have certificates in health care and first aid from Maritime School, Oron. I was good to go, my current work exp is proportionate to my current application.

alaoeri:
This is sad, take heart bro guess the refusal was because your first degree is quite different from what you apply for.

My fellow brothers and sisters in the house, pretoria was happy to reject me Visa today. Reason was that Employer was not verified and that no Letter of Future Employment, subclass-573,(SVP) paid AuS13,700 and has saved about AuS7,450 for complete 1yrs fees. Total: AuS21,000. I added my landed property docs, marriage certificates, house plan, children birth certs, employment histories, first aid certificates, IELTS and PTE blast them over.

So guys tell me, what else does pretoria needs? My MD of my Company was mad at this, they didn't call any1 or even me, he even wanted to use his lawyers to write them, I told him not to bother, every1 must not travel, some are meant to help others to succeed here and do stuffs. Australia should understand that we are not Hungry in Nigeria. I will keep up with my business and clap for people who gets their grants. Happy New Month.

This is a very Good idea, the last paragraph.

lawland:
They can't just change the outcome by you mailing them and addressing the issue, you have to go through formal appeal. You could have explained that the person is your sisters husband and that the husband run their accounts (you can do better than this lie), that way it may seem its also your sisters account. .. but since you have already written back (i don't expect a positive outcome), you just have to reapply to another school that is svp but still meet the financial requestment cos its most likely that will ask for it.


*****If you seek my opinion, i would say your inlaw should deposit the money in your, your mums or your dads account for the required period and reapply again with same school.

Ooh, ok, so u wanna go for IT right? Can I ask your current Qualification?

Bryanpro:
Yes i registered for Advance Dipolma... Buh the school is not under SVP.

Check with TAFESA. But you will be directed to Agent.

Bryanpro:
Fellow nairalanders please I need help with colleges offering information technology and under Svp pls... Doing my research on Google too.. thank you

So y is it not SVP den? Did you register for the Advance Diploma?

Bryanpro:
a Certicate course buh also must be up to an advance dipolma or Bsc bro...

Apply for SVP and don't forget to apply for same program or related. I like your spirit. Which level of studies do u intend to apply for?

Bryanpro:
I just got contacted by my C.O and I was refused visa oh... Reason because I was sponsored by my in-law .... Visa type Non Svp

This is sad, re-apply for same course and do advance diploma. It's been long we heard any Visa news.

Bryanpro:
I just got contacted by my C.O and I was refused visa oh... Reason because I was sponsored by my in-law .... Visa type Non Svp

Amen bro!

Bryanpro:
Happy new month narialanders and fellow Visa applicants ...may our expectations not be cut short...Amen... This month shall be a visa grant gallon month for all of us..

If you continue like this, you will land yourself in the hands of 419s and them go take u drink garri.

jokjessy:
Pls I wanna travel abroad already AV my passport .....think there should b a way mayb getting a job NT just a job buh decent one nd accomodation.is there any heaven sent?

If na so ppl de Travel, I for dun get Green Cards for all the Countries

lawland:
You are funny!!!

Ok boss. Thanks.

lawland:
Affirmative

Thanks Boss for your contributions. If for Student Visa for instance, you mean the bridging Visa will carry same work conditions until the applicant is granted a post Study Work Visa right?

lawland:
It depends on your previous visa as your bridging visa will have same conditions as your subsequent visa...

Thanks my Boss

NNBB2012:
Sure, it does.

Does bridging Visa permits one to work in Australia?

NNBB2012:
If your visa is about to expire and you apply for post-study visa, you would be given a bridging visa as soon as you lodge. The bridging visa would take effect as soon as your student visa expires pending the time your post-study visa would be granted.

When is your course starting? We submitted about the same time.

scholly:
Mine is SVP nomination. I submitted since July 20th

All hail NNBB2012.
