@Bellong.

Thanks alot. you are simply the best. I appreciate.

It's like VFS is better than Teleperformance self. Teleperformance service is somehow poor compared to when applicants were using VFS.

As at then, VFS will dispatch the next day to Pretoria and even send u an sms to that effect, Teleperformance will not update you with Bcus they know their lapses, too bad. Just be patient, there is nothing u can do, keep checking your email, it will drop b4 u know it.

teeflow09:
Egbamiooo.....its 3months today but they claim it got to dem 6 days after I lodged the application at teleperformance here in naija wch means it will be 3months officially 6 days time....O God! Grace is all I seek!

That's a wow score, congrats!!!

mrsdee:
Hi all,

I am happy to announce my pte academic exam success. My scores are L82 W 80 R 77 and S 71. Speaking was my weak point. I had difficulty in describing the graphs. My ielts result is W6.5, R8.5,L7.0 And S6.5. I read so many success stories of pte and decided to take it. It was a very wise decision considering the many tales of woe by ielts candidates. I am so happy. Next is to apply for sa sponsorship.

@mpop, don't understand, your statement "but the ssvf things has started anyways" can you throw more light for me? Person nor de know finish ooo.

mPop:
oh oh oh ok, but the ssvf thingy has started anyways.. wow thats cool

Pmed u!!!

@prince242 and Dav6,

I got banned for posting his details. Below are the prices he gave me

Lagos - Sydney 339,694k, 333,598k

Lagos - Melbourne 332,587k, 337,294k, 294,646k, 261,928k

Lagos - Brisbane 329,394k

Lagos - Adelaide 326,891k

All for the first two weeks in July.

@Scrollmeout, you have been rightly advised.

@mpop, goto page 40 of the thread and check the media release again. You will see that the Asst Minister Cash said it's ending 30 June 2016 and SSVF takes effect.

Though folks that are applying then will have upper hand since the SVP will then be extended to all International Students. Thus it then depends of the Immigration risk of the University the person will be applying to, our Country has a default assessment level 3, so if the level of risk for the Institution is classified as "low", then the person will be fine irrespective of the program applied for, but if the Institution risk is on medium or high lever, then the person will be required to provide financial/english evidence.


Please all Student in the house should note that University of West Sydney no longer requires English requirements from International Students. So happy applying.

Naaaaah, even check the website, SSVF takes effect 30th of June 2016 and not 2015. SVP regime ends in 30 June 2016 .

So no worries!!!


ive read the link you gave me and i thought the SSVF only takes effect from after the 30th of june this month. how then is this possible?[/quote]

Google them, you will find what you want. You also have to be specific when asking questions e.g. your proposed course of studies and all that, with that someone can help you. Asking for where to study in oz is just a speculation becus the schools are much.

Hello House, pls I need your views and assistance in this:

I got my eCoE since early April this year (SVP), my Program starts 8th Feb 2016, I have been confused whether to apply for my Visa or should still wait, I have been waiting. I don't really understand how long I can wait till I apply for my Visa as the resumption time is still far.

Can someone advice please?

NOTE: The course is only available for Semester 1 intakes, thus the timing.

Wow!!! We are all blessed in this thread IJN. I am so happy for this news, it looks as if na me get the Visa. I tap into your blessing, may it be so for those of us expecting. I feel more blessed and happy for all of us in this thread, compared to Canada thread. God will guide u.

@Feminoni, I got ur PM, I have reverted!

Where in Oz are you going? Is it Sydney? If they are fully booked and your are not going for Studies, you may opt to pick early August, else u can use other alternative booking method other than IOM.

FEMINONI:
IOM Australia is fully booked for July. It sucks

Ok.

mPop:
thank you will read it right now

Hello House, as proposed earlier, here is the link for the future direction of SVP to SSVF:

www.immi.gov.au/Study/Documents/future-directions.pdf

Study from pages 19-26.


You may all also share your views.

Hello House, I have gone tru the newly proposed SSVF by the DIBP. It's far better than SVP, however, the Students and the Institution will be classified into an Immigration risk:

I will post the simple table later once I get access to my Computer, I was able to dig into the discussion paper done by Consultants and Educational Stakeholders.

So no worries , I almost had a high blood pressure when it was posted on the thread yesterday. Whew!!!

mPop:
wow! this is nt a good news for people that wanted to go svp route in the future. i hope dey dont become so strict like canada. hmmmmn

Is this a disadvantage of Advantage to us? If I am not mistaken, every1 will now be requested to provide a Financial Statement, which of Course is a bad news.

Assistant Minister - Simplified student visa process to boost Australia's international education sector

Tuesday, 16 June 2015


Joint media release - The Hon Christopher Pyne MP, Minister for Education and Training, Leader of the House and Senator the Hon Michaelia Cash, Assistant Minister for Immigration and Border Protection

Minister for Education and Training, the Hon Christopher Pyne MP, and Assistant Minister for Immigration and Border Protection, Senator the Hon Michaelia Cash, today announced the introduction of a simplified international student visa framework (SSVF) to support Australia’s education services sector.

The changes will mean:

• a reduction in the number of student visa subclasses from eight to two, and

• the introduction of a simplified single immigration risk framework for all international students.

“Australia is open for business and welcomes genuine and high quality international students who provide a much-needed boost to our economy, our local communities and jobs, and who boost our country-to-country relationships,” Minister Pyne said.

“We warmly welcome genuine international students and we are committed to improving and protecting the integrity of our immigration system.”

“After coming to office the Government moved immediately to improve competitiveness and it is pleasing to see growth in international student enrolments in Australia has resumed.”

Minister Cash said an improved approach to the administration of student visas as part of the SSVF will have clear benefits. The overall integrity of the student visa programme will be maintained, and the improved regulatory arrangements will avoid placing unnecessary burden or cost on education providers.

The SSVF will replace both the Streamlined Visa Processing (SVP) arrangements and the current Assessment Level Framework and will apply to all international students.

It will lay out a student’s financial and English language evidentiary requirements based on two things: the immigration profile of the student’s country of citizenship and of their education provider.

“The SSVF will support the growth of the international education sector by enhancing both competitiveness and integrity while extending streamlined processing to all education sectors and all course types,” Minister Cash said.

She said the changes follow consultations on the Government discussion paper Future Directions for Streamlined Visa Processing.

“SVP served a very good purpose but it is now time to implement a broader, simpler, fairer framework,” Minister Cash said.

A working group with international education sector stakeholders is being formed to guide implementation of the new framework on the expiry of SVP arrangements on 30 June 2016.

The agencies responsible for the quality assurance and regulation of education services for overseas students will work closely with the Department of Immigration and Border Protection on the new regime.

Minister Pyne said the SSVF would contribute to the objectives of the Draft National Strategy for International Education released for consultation in April and the subject of a roundtable on international education this week.

The first of two roundtables to discuss the Draft National Strategy will be held at Parliament House, Canberra, on Thursday 18 June. Chaired by Minister Pyne, it will involve Ministers whose portfolios relate to international education, including Minister Cash.

God help me

Amen, I tap from your blessing. Congratulations!!!

FEMINONI:
Got my visa grant yesterday. To those who are waiting on theirs, yours shall come sooner than expected.

Wow! BUPA. I didn't even know that Ihi-BUPA covers for Oz as well.

Wow, lighternote, this your information is golden.

Thanks.

lighternote:
I paid way less for a family of five. I used BUPA and paid $4475. Medibank is just too pricey.

Thanks Jetspeed. God will bless you.

Can I she start the assessment pending on when the CSOL will come up again on WA list?

Also, after the occupation has been access positively by VETASSES, and we intend to apply for skillselect getting a point, will she apply for Regional Sponsorship from the WA state sponsorship b/4 applying to skillselect?

Those are the process am asking for.

Jetspeed:
It is assessed by Vetasses (Atleast the last time I checked) and the occupation falls under General Occupation

Log on to www.vetassess.com.au
Click on Skill assessment for Migration
Click on General Occupation
Then click on the application process and read through the requirements.

@Jetspeed. Sorry to ask you, pls 4give my ignorance. My wife occupation is on same list (Customer Service Manager), now let's assume that the stuff came up again on their site for application to be open, can you advice me with the step by step process to follow in other to apply for her, pls anyone can also contribute.

Thanks in advance.

chuckdee13:
has her assessing body assessed her qualifications yet?

Disability Studies and Nursing has a lot of relevance compared to Community Sector Management.

Community Sector Mgt fall under Social Works, while disability falls under Nursing Studies/Paramedicine.

So Mrlinobrown is right, go for A which is relevant to your previous program and thus the Embassy will be fine with it.

Regards.

laminaria:
pls house come to my aid on this issue.
Schools A : cert iv in disability (39weeks)+ diploma in disability (70weeks) + adv.diploma in disability (66weeks) altogether making it 3.5 yrs for d whole course

@Ferdimako, I was @Teleperformance yesterday with 2 of my guys whom submitted for Study Visa application. Medical was front loaded and when I checked online, their Final Medical report has been sent to the DIBP. They did their Medicals last week friday.

The worry is: will this said strike action affect their Visa processing (their resumption date is 13 July, Orientation is 6th July). Some of my guys were given their grant within 5working days.

If these guys are on strike, are they not suppose to halt Visa application collection?

I am worried
