Happy Grants waiting and Merry Xmas from Pretoria

STAugustineOf13:
Australian Pacific College.

What School is that?

STAugustineOf13:
Nice Try.
but the man that I was communicating with said, they received a call from Boarder Protection on 5th November 2015. Whether na true or false.
and that was the same day my money ought to clear in their Account. So...they have to summon an Emergency discuss/meeting to attend to my issue.
but he 1st suggested that they can pay me back all my money if I want or I can opt IN to take Diploma without Advance they later reversed it.
thanks to Nilobrown .
he pressurized me to stick to what me and them discussed, that they won't want to return the cash.



Well...I believe you.
it's a waiting Game, The only way to overcome it is Patience.
they knew that most skoolz will be starting on January.
there's noway they can keep us till January runs out.

Our prayers is that Visa applications are answered this Month, else na January be that ooo.

Why are you guys in a hurry?

Patience is a virtue. They handle hundreds of applications, so you should patiently wait till your case is resolved and stop complaining.

No matter how long, you will be attended to.

SVP Cancellation they are trying to tell u is not from DIBP, but from the School, if your School issues you a program under SVP, DIBP will access your application in an SVP manner (make I cook grammar).

STAugustineOf13:
35 Days & Counting.
When my school was telling me that SVP has been cancelled for Nigeria, Ghana & Zimbabweans.
I doubted them, although they went ahead to place me on the SVP, it indeed helped in documents wahala Yet to prove that though.
But with thsee time wasting, it's starting to make sense.

Although my OSHC ought to start running from February 1 which is the Resumption date.
hope it's not part of the problem here?. Although have Extra 5 months after the 3years Study.

Make we see the first person to get Grant after the long silence from Pretoria.

It's wasn't this week only, it's been since last week, no grants to far. God dey.

chetaRay:
omo dis grantless week is very scary ooooo. it gives me joy nd makes me be at peace with my mibd wen people declare that dey have gotten dia visa grants.

my head really wants to explode with thoughts of wat might be or not be.

i refresh my mail account like every ten minutes. now i see wat it means to suffer a heart attack or high bp.

just like 2posh said before her grant came ........ "d wait no be here oooo"

well in all tins we put our faith in GOD. we POSITIVE EXPECTANT APPLICANTS

That's good, its better to allow them take their time than to bother them, they can make decisions in an hurry if being hurried.

STAugustineOf13:
Indeed, after getting that reply, i thought of them feeling being bugged if I keep on sending more mails.
but was desperate to ask them how long SVP assessment Level 3 do take nowadays.

After composing and trying to send the mail, it Jammed becox I didn't open up my Data Connection.
my mind told me to cancel that, that they might make decisions in a hurry and mess my app up.
So I did. Follow my mind.

Reduce sending them emails, wait for them. Sending multiple mails may open a Pendora's Box.

Mikey:
Lol, I refresh pass you. I just read your post that they've acknowledged yout application and I'm thinking of firing them another email self. Still hoping to hear from them

Certify and Scan it neatly and send via email directly to the email of your C/O. Goodluck!

Triggeredsam the
australian Visa hungry man

Look for a University that is affordable, except you won't want to declare your Bsc. Goto the thread of my post for GTE assessment scale no 1-8. CIT will cost you an Arm and a Leg.

Sharonlass10:
Thanks to all.
Pls, is canberra institute of technology good?

Amen! Your Grant is a sure banker!!!

STAugustineOf13:
I withdrew what I said in the time past about Grace
I believe it will be Sufficient for us all.
Our GOD is a forgiving GOD, I hope he Forgives

To those our E-Fam living in Victoria Melbourne hope the Wild-Fire Ravaging the city didn't hit any of una.
Stay Safe people.

If you are declaring your Bsc, make sure you apply for course on same level or higher.

Sharonlass10:
I would prefer July. I studied mass communication in my Bsc but I want to change career to community service course. Which is available in Post-secondary program (cert. or diploma.).
Thanks.

You will get your grant b4 the end of December!

matyk:
University of newcastle offers courses that are SVP, my application will be 3weeks on Monday 21st of Dec....
Am believe I am going to share the testimony here and also in the church

Grace didn't fail, don't use wrong words over your application. Pray that the Grace of God is upon your application and all will be well for you. You will get your grant when they are ready.

Pretoria delays at times, esp when there lady COs, some will just go for Vacation and leave applications on their desk till they are back. Some SVP applications takes upto 6weeks, depending on the CO.

We will all be successful IJN.

STAugustineOf13:
Lol.... NOV 19 , 3 mail sent , No Response.
I'm Reping here brother.
pray you hear from them b4 Christmas.
As for mine , I have been considering it as When Grace Fails, How do one Survives.

What is your Subclass? Pretoria has been busy and have had some issues regarding contingency, you will hear from them b4 the end of December, a lot of ppl with your type of case here. Don't worry.

matyk:
Gud morning to everyone and compliment of the season....... I don made up my mmind to do xmas in naija, but to celebrate the new year in OZ.
Back to the matter, abeg is there anyone in dis house wey submit application to teleperformance on the 27th , or 28th or 29th or 30th of Nov, I submitted mine on the 30th of Nov..... Abeg make una ginger me small na, cos I never hear from prectoria oooo.

Uwc Bro!

jorgan:
thanks so much for this Eric

The whole Stuff depends on the C/O. Some CO'S can be terrible at times.

Any1 with this case should do their mind and pray. I have seen many cases regarding this subject matter and there is no need to argue.

Maybe the CO'S where just looking for excuse I don't know.

All the best!

FutureDon:
Whoooootttt? Really broski?


Back to the matter, missymii I do not think that stating that your brother lives in Australia will hinder your chances of getting your application approved. I know (have seen) typical examples. I am assuming your brother legally LIVES in Australia. On the other hand, if your mind is asking you to do otherwise, make sure your brother hasn't already provided your information on any previous immigration related applications. Anyways, just follow your mind.

Add about 150k to your Account, so that FX Dept will not say insufficient funds, giving the fluctuation in Dollars these days, it will be better to over fund the Account than it to be underfunded and delay your Transaction. The Process takes about 3days and you get your swift. After 3 different debits. 1st Bank is really fast and good in this.

They will convert the equivalent of Oz Dollars to USD and credit the School in USD and the Sch will re-convert to AUD. Sometimes, the School will be overpaid after conversion and you will be advised by the School with the Difference, also sometimes, they may be underpaid and they will ask you to pay the little difference once in Oz.

Goodluck!

jorgan:
I commend the effort u all r putting here to help others, well done.

Pls I got an offer to study at the university of Newcastle, and in other to get my CoE I was told to pay aud$10,834. I plan to do that on Monday by the grace of God.

But this is where I need you guys to help especially those that have paid their fees using first bank form A.

I discovered from this thread that banks won't convert directly to Australian dollars for you. The official exchange rate for aud is 143 naira. I already credited my account with 1.6milion naira having it in mind that that will be enough to cover the acceptance deposit of aud$10,834.

pls in other not for me to jonze on Monday when I go to pay my fees, how is the transaction done? Wat exchange rate do they use? Is it Australian dollar or USD? If it's USD, will that 10,834 drop to the equilvalent of an Australian dollar to USD which is around USD7701?

Pls guys help me here, I need your advise thanks so much

Don't add your brother in Oz, it means you are likely not to come back.

These ppl wants evidence to return home. Your best bet is to add Family here and anything that will link you back home. A Student was rejected his Application simply because he has a brother Studying in Oz and that he doesn't have strong incentive to return home.

Goodluck!

missymii:
I believe I have found a way round this even though I didn't get any response from d house. I want ask though if including details of my brother already residing in oz can b either a merit or demerit while applying.

Thanks for the info brother, pls advice us with the link.

Thanks.

These
Detailed Below is or MIGHT be the reasons why nobody is receiving any information from the Embassy.
I believe they've worked on many Applications, but from 7th to 18th which is Friday, they won't answer anybody until Monday.
So....I believe that by Monday, WE* would all receive INFO

Some employees of the Department of Immigration and Border Protection including the Australian Border Force, who are members of the Community and Public Sector Union (CPSU), will take part in protected industrial action at various work sites up to and including 7 to 18​ December 2015.

Some employees of the Department of Immigration and Border Protection including the Australian Border Force, who are members of the Community and Public Sector Union (CPSU), will take part in protected industrial action at various work sites over 7-18 December 2015.

The Community and Public Sector Union​ (CPSU) have given notice of 24 hour work bans over 7-18 December 2015, which will impact container/ cargo examination facilities and international mail facilities nationally.
The Department has contingency arrangements in place to protect Australia's borders. The Department is working closely with stakeholders to minimise the impact on business the travelling public and on cargo and mail operations and is ensuring appropriate contingencies are in place for visa and citizenship services. During protected industrial action, the health, safety and security of the public and our staff continues to be our priority.
We will continue to negotiate in good faith with all bargaining representatives to reach an agreement which is within our means, and meets the parameters set by the Australian Government Public Sector Workplace Bargaining Policy.
More detailed information regarding the action is in the CPSU notices provided below.

Ok 572 takes 5-6weeks now, because they do a lot of Verification. Make sure all your contacts are intact and your employment verifiable.

STAugustineOf13:

Now the question is, have they [Pretorians] gone on Strike or Closed for the year?

Lodged IN since November 19th failed to Add Medicals.
Has anyone received Any news from them since 7th of December becox it seems they are on backing on some stuffs about Border protection, it's there in their News Update on their site.

And who else is going to Australian Pacific College?

Hello House, does anyone knows when Pretoria will go for Christmas break this year?

It's very sad, very very sad!

Triggeredsam:
What the hell are this guys doing.... How can they be painting our future with poti... Why why why... Australian government are the type that uses laws to strict away they problems... Watch what will happen in the next visa remodification by January abi February... Where going straight to assessment level 5

A newly arrived Nigerian student caught with over $10 million worth of drugs Yesterday in Canberra ACT, a Student of University of Canberra (His name is Jackson Igwebuike). These are the type of lunatics that are spoiling chances for other people that has good intentions to Study, he just arrived Australia this July 2015. I wonder what is wrong with some ppl. What kind of money will one will be looking for?

Another one happened yesterday again, a 51 year old Nigerian was also arrested in Sydney.

The mistake they are making is that they do know that u can't do crimes in Australia, Australia is a very very secure and organised Country and ppl should represent Nigeria names positively. I just tire!

Police are now targeting Africans, stopping them at train Stations, searching homes and so on. It is also reported that Most Nigerians in Sydney are into drugs with their Lebanese counterparts. This is so Sad!
