For where, Embassy SOP has to be fully spiced ooo. You should follow it paragraph by paragraph according to the way the questions where asked on the Visa form. You get 50% point possibility of your grant from your SOP.

deleyi20:
Boss, was it the SOP you used for the school you submitted to the embassy?

You are welcome, just hold your CV and SOP handy incase and don't forget to memorise the date of birth of anyone you included in your application. The Embassy is very busy this July and may not have time to call you for interview. Your Visa will just drop on your email if all your documents are intact. Goodluck.

emmiezye:
Yes it's SVP, sure done d medical thing. OK thanks for that. Will do that.

Is it SVP? Did you frontload your Medicals? If yes to all, then u may just see an email dropped on your inbox. However, I will advice you send them an email reminding them of your resumption. A friend of mine did and found out that his email was not correct on their database until he sent them email and they replied with his Visa. There was a dot after his first name and the Embassy didn't put the dot. That was the little error. Goodluck.

emmiezye:
Submitted my visa application on the 8th of this month. And my school is resuming next week monday. And they haven't called to interview me yet. Who thinks they are still going to call me. ??

Wait for your case Officer to contact you with that request, else attach them to your Visa application documents if you have not apply. If you have applied, wait for your case Officer.

stephen111:

Have u heard of the saying "if e easy na set up"? reading thru this thread u should have seen how pple look for ways to get legit visas, find suburbs where accommodation can be cheaper or even shared accommodation as in most cases with students. The next on the line will be looking for a job, those with family look out for govt. assistance in any form they may be eligible. So open ur eyes... Australia is an EXPENSIVE country even for the British and Americans! If ur (so called) agent has a legit job for u, checking the CSOL of Australian states if that job is on it and u getting all required docs for it would be next. Then u will be looking forward to applying for a state nomination visa 190. Ultimately, u wouldn't need an agent if u had the patience to read thru this thread and ask questions where necessary. Victims of scammers are always those who look for short cuts or fast lanes to MONEY!

Them for add 1st class ticket join am. Lol

Fabu! Beta dust your slippers and run far from him.

Congratsss, my brother. Well done.

Hello my people,

I'm happy to announce the outcome of my PTEA scores (W 90, W 90, R79, S 71). If thank God for everything. It's a pity the owner of the place kept shouting while I was writing the test. I personally begged him to stop the madness but i guess he thought his business was more important.

@Iriferi, you are very correct! They don't allow, my Cousin's own was removed in the Airport.

iriferi:
Nigerian immigration does not allow palm oil

Lol. I go wait, I nor fit die.

Thanks alot.

mrnilobrawn:
You can go ahead to submit, its not a problmm. whem you submit u will know as the wait they be.

Hello Mrnilobrawn, how are you enjoying oz? Hope you are settling fine? I just wanna inform you that I am making my Visa application, the wait is too long. I decided that it's better I submit and wait for their response than to kip my docs at home. So that I can have a rest of mind and face other stuffs.

Thanks for your advice so far.

mrnilobrawn:
Lol.....mayb the house too. Coz accomodation here dey tear pockets

So why is it called SVP? , you have to settle down and read it again. We done read am pass, discuss am here and have settled it here. start from the earlier thread of this forum, lets say from 40sometin.

@scrollmeout,

I really dont know much about PR, bosslady, ferdimako, mrlinobraown, bellong will be able to through more light on this. I am more good in student area.

scrollmeout:
Thanks Bossladymo1, ericktack. i even found out that CS is not eligible for Labour Market testing required for 457.
Ericktack, what i see on SA CSOL is CS Manager 149212 and Call or Contact [b]Manager [/b]149211. Also does a degree in Biology (a different field) not matter?

SA Sponsors CS, they just opened it afresh this July. It was indicating "Red" all the while and they updated it to "green". We also intend to apply for my wife. A lot of new Occupations currently opened in SA list.

bossladymo1:
Yes, you can sponsor her under the 489 FS, but her occupation will need to be on the CSOL.

The possibility of she getting an employer sponsor her is low. 457 visas dont come easy.

Why can't she just apply for PR straight up? SA sponsors customer service I think.

@Mahemola, you don't have to wait till Oct or November, you can submit, it's better so that you can have a rest of mind with your application knowing you are just waiting for the Embassy.

Na thesame rope hold me and you, my program starts 8th Feb 2016 and I have gotten my CoE since April, I am tired of waiting so I have decided to cross the hurdle and apply, lemme be free and wait for their response. Don't forget to frontload your medicals.

[quote author=mohemola post=35771585][/quote]

Do all your Visa application in one place, if Lagos all should be Lagos and if Abj all should be in Abj. Is your program under SVP? Also if you can submit your Visa application at anytime, the Embassy may hold it till it's 3months to your program or put a clause regarding not able to travel until 3months (date) on your Visa status comments.

mohemola:
House pls this tym someone should give a reply to my question, I got admission for a school in Brisbane suppose to resume Oct but I'm thinking I ll defer till February so as to earn some more upkeep from my work here. My questions
1. My parents are part of my sponsors and live in Lagos while me in abuja, thinking of going to meet them so as to arrange all the docs I will need from them myself. Can I after getting d documents submit my visa in Lagos and do all d rest in Abuja.
2. [color=#770077][/color]since I'm thinking of February 2016 will it not be too early to submit for visa in the first week of July 2015.
Sorry for a long epistle, thought my other post was not detailed is y I didn't get a response. Thanks .

I carry hand for you. Very nice comment!

izykvision0:
Immigration is not for everybody that is what people must come to terms with in Nigeria and in the world. Someone in Australia or in Nigeria can't advice you on that. Some pple get professional jobs within a month, 2months, 6months and some never get. Some pple can live abroad for 5years and still feel like they left Nigeria last week, while some will be frustrated and depressed barely 3months on landing.
You need to ask yourself what you want in life and do you achieve them in the most favourable way to You and only You?
NO ONE ON ANY FORUM IN THE WORLD WILL DECIDE YOUR PATH. They all post personal experiences nd personal indeed they are.
Indians for instance set the pace for their own depression, when they leave India and intend living in an Indian community in Oz, house share by Indians, live beside Indian stores and temples, infact an Indian extension. This is perceived as an act of sociological security by them, when in actual fact they have just caged themselves in its evasive illusion. some Nigerians tread this path.
YOU MUST ACCEPT AND EMBRACE THE CULTURE OF WHERE YOU ARE GOING TO INORDER TO LIVE A NORMAL LIFE, IF NOT ONE IS BETTER OF IN HIS/HER HOME COUNTRY.

7th July? You nor quick ooo lol.

Give them till 20th July which is Monday, if they don't respond then you will have to defer. They have a lot of work on their hands. July is General School resumption period.

Kip your fingers crossed.

databasecareers:
@erictack203, thanks for your response, I submitted it on Tuesday 7th at teleperformance Abuja

Hello, when did you submit to teleperformance? I noticed that all applications are received in Pretoria from Teleperformance every Friday. And pretoria takes 3weeks to process SVP giving the rush of July applications. If I can know when you submitted I will be able to advice you.

databasecareers:
Has anyone applied for svp visa within this week to last week, how soon was your application received at Southafrica from teleperformance and how many days or week did it take for the svp visa to be ready, my school would resume lectures by 13th and I was given late resumption till 24th, I want to know if I should defer to February, thanks for your response.

Talk with your School about this.

atrapon:
Pls how long does it take confirmation of enrolment to show
Thanks

Congrats, that price is really nice.

House please you may come in.

ashioba:
Greetings to the e-family,please I need advice from this noble house, my wife and I are Legal Practitioners, with 5 years post call. In addition, I have a proficiency certificate in management from Nigeria Institute of Manageria in 2007 and Project Management Professional(PMP) in 2014, and my wife just got her Nebosh IGC this year. Now, we wish to migrate to OZ but do not really know which of the visa class will be favourable. Please advice us. Thanks and God bless you all.

Thanks a lot my Boss and I also wish you the best in all your applications. Because of the long waiting, I kept combing the Web about Oz and also helping people, this gives me a lot of experiences and ideas about the place.

ferdimako:
Yeah...I know but got confused with d manner you described cities. Sure, u will get d pass when the time comes...time is d only bulwark now huh.

Yes, write to her now and remind her your program starts next week, they will grant you tomorrow by 2pm Nigerian time. Remember to let her know that it's just a reminder regarding your Visa application, put "please".

A Student was granted on 2sday, his program starts 13th July. He sent them reminder mails 2 times. A lot of Visa application this July, so pretoria is tight with work.

youngpboy:
Helpful advice from the house please, Visa lodged at Pretoria on 03 June 2015 under SVP, asked additional document on 12 June 2015 and i replied on the 15 June. I forwarded a query to them and CO replied saying "application is still under assessment". Till now still waiting and my school starts on the 15 of July next week. Pls what do i do friends? Do i still write my CO again or call?

She can apply for an Adv Dip program that is proporturnate to her qualification or apply for for Nursing at a higher level.

Hello people,

Student visa processing is not as straightforward as PR processing which I'm much more used to. I intend to help my younger sister secure admission in an Australian university, preferably in NSW in a course with some promise. She is 28 and single with almost 3 years experience as a Customer Service Officer and a first degree in Biology. Please Is it possible to sponsor her for PR later on, when I may have settled successfully? Can an Australian employer obtain a long stay visa? Do you think it's a workable plan?
I've read some posts about TAFE and SVP but I do not understand how they work. Thanks

My Oga, once I enter na you go first know na, I am still waiting for the time to get close to my resumption of my program b4 I apply for my Visa. I got my CoE since April 2015 and my program starts Feb 2016. So I will wait a little b4 I apply like Mrlinobrown Advised.

I will surely inform the house once am granted.

Am Loyal Sir.

ferdimako:
Are u in Oz now?

You are welcome, just keep asking questions here and you will be guided. Nor worry, e go better.

deleyi20:
Thank you for always giving me a robust response all the time, I really appreciate. I wasn't refused at the embassy though. I'm just about to start an application. My enquiries are to enlighten me on every necessary information from the postgraduate application to the visa application stage. Thank you my brother.

@deleyi20.

Not all SVP Institutions requires Statement of Account. I am so sorry for your refusal, Australian Embassy is not wicked, so you should check your refusal reasons, apply to an SVP institution (don't forget to apply for thesame Course/Program previously applied for) the use the same SOP previously use, then when asked about your previous denial, put yes and write an extra explanatory note outline the refusal reasons and countering then in your write ups and also include a documentary evidence certified and staple it to the explanatory letter. You will progress this time.

deleyi20:
Please i want to know; did you submit Bank Statement through the SVP route??

Wow!

izykvision0:
Nope

Australia is an English Country, the list place in Australia is Tasmania, guys in Tasmania are still doing very well, Perth, O'boy nawa for u oooo. Y you go ask like this na?

Accommodation: AUS150-180 weekly

Student Jobs: 20hrs per week @minimum of AUS20 per hour if more than 19yrs of age, less than 19yrs will earn AUS17 and AUS18 respectively.

Opportunities in Perth are splendid, plus it's so beautiful. Weather is: Winter Lowest: 4oC and high 12oC, Summer low 18-21oC and high 25-27oC. A lot of Cool winds and rainfall during springs and Autumn.

I hope I have answered your questions?

deleyi20:
Hello Fam, I really appreciate the loads of information we share here. It has tremendously helped me understand a lot of things and guided my decision making process.

Before i finally make an application, please i need to know the living standards (weather, costs, job opportunities, accommodation) of Perth. Is Perth a good place for students. I saw a lot of positive reviews about Perth online but I want my fellow Nigerians to share their candid thoughts or experiences. Thanks.
