It's my pleasure.
God will grant your heart desires.

@all, If you've benefited from this thread in one way or the other. Try and ensure not to neglect this thread when you land. Many are guilty of this.
Apart from the numerous information that can be of help to you even while in OZ, You should also try your possible best to help and give back to those coming behind you in your own little way. I understand how hectic it can be here but you can always create time to share your experiences and advices so other can learn from it too. God bless you all.

Many good news to come this coming June IJN.

Amen

the answer to this question will shock you. You may end up driving a car as expensive as your tuition for the semester or the year. , But then, I dunno whether you have "30trillion for the account o".
A car in Australia is not a luxury item, but a freaking necessity. This a.m, j left my carless Homie at home cos my work start time changed from 7 to 630. I informed prior to departure of the change and when he didn't meet up, I left. I cannot leave my own load in my hand and out his own on my head.
In a nut shell my friend, just get car wey go serve you, with 1.5k you should be all right. But for a 2010 Toyota, except you wanna run uber and stuffs

Well said!!! No one cares about your car model and what year in Australia o.... get a car to be on time for work is the major thing. Only Naija here that flaunt cars even when it's is purchased with loans and drinking cassava flakes at the corner of your home.

EMMAACHILE:
How much is the cost of a 2010 Toyota corolla in Australia?

Amen bro! Your course starting in July too?

Blazegab:
Now we making it sound like slave trade. No work is easy plus going outside your country to another mans land no be joke. There is a task ahead of you if you are going to pay your fees and bill so brace up. People in Nigeria too cry at some point when they work. The price to pay for progress is not one u pay and smile. It is well bro. Joining you soon.

It's not really slave trade thing but it's an advice to each and every one of us coming to Australia. As for me, I'm ever ready cos my job before in UAE no be play oo... I work almost two years 14 hours duty daily Mon-Sun with no single day off! Now I haven't seen where in the world I would find hard work a difficult task. Let's get prepared my people

Stanleyelege:
We offload snakes from the forest.

U already know the answer and yet u are asking.

Lmfao

New week knocking at the door!! DIBP refuses to say something oo.. May 12 visa application with no further contact yet... Anyone in this situation too??

JoeDuch:
yea i made the tuition deposit of AUD8350 , all i think is that many more Nigerians are now migrating to australia and trust me aussie is not only meant for nigerians , there need to regulate the system. Requesting more documents is an evidence of HOPE and as soon as one provides the requested document VISA will be granted......."Hopefully"

I second your talk bro. #BasicFact

lakola:
I applied on the 25th of April 2017, no information request just assesment in progress. His grace will see us through. Visa grant will hit us when we least expect (Quicker)
NB: SOA included

Did you use an agent for visa application?

babajigga:
Please which bank did u use fornur form A and at what rate

I really don't know the form A of a thing bro! My agent in Australia handle all mode of payment for me

weldonextreme:
@Fishlink
I lodged my application on May 8th, did biometrics same day. My application status still shows "assessment in progress"
On the other hand. A friend of mine lodged his application May 3rd. He got a mail on May 25th to provide SOA and explain why he was denied visa twice to the UK. He applied to Macquarie university which happens to be on ssvp.

From what I've been reading today, I think DIBP now come up with this policy of SOA cos the privilege on not providing SOA in the past has been violated by Nigerians. Did you as well didn't provide SOA when u applied? To future applicants, get ur SOA ready irrespective of the university you applying to. Don't you joke with DIBP cos they have the final say to visa grants. Thank you

rogbalekan:
I am so interested in you answering this question too because I was about asking people on the forum that how can I secure admission without an agent.

I have emailed several supervisors to fulfill the requirements, but none has replied. The situation is putting me off.

Pls I will like gurus to help me with the keys of how to secure an admission without using an agent.

Please for your good, use the approved institution agent as this will be helpful and straightforward even during your visa application.. Don't take the risk

Solitin40:
You are right but don't forget that all fingers are not equal

Absolutely right bro! Favor shall locate us.. Amen...... please any other May visa applicant here awaiting grants, please hint the house if you've gotten any mail notification from DIBP right from the application date till now. Thank you

Vickglam:
Student visa is getting hot ooo, , 15m SOA choi

I don't think it's getting too hot o because how can one imagine not to provide SOA while applying for visa? Irrespective of whichever AL, what I believe is that we all need to make provision of what we know is right and helpful for us to get our visa granted. Thank u all

Vickglam:
Student visa is getting hot ooo, , 15m SOA choi, I applied on the 3rd of may, did medicals and biometric on the 4th of may, I have not heard anything from them, the only thing I want to hear is visa granted, we will all have our grant by next week ijn, Amen

Amen ooo! I also applied on 12th May and both medical and biometric done on 15th. Still haven't heard nothing but I'm not worried cos God got my back... All I care to read is VISA GRANT... though I provided SOA during my application

boboyi247:
my people in house, does Australia give appointment before one can go for biometric.
am there now waiting and the security man keep asking me when is the time am been appointed to come.
ASAP please

Make him know you're not for U.K. visa and it's Australia biometric u wanna do. Just make sure u show to him the biometric printout sent to your email after application and your original passport copy. That's all bro

Hello gurus, I've been reading about courses to get PR in Australia but if I may ask, which is the easiest way to get PR between studying a two year course and studying a 1.5yrs course. Beside, what edge does someone has when he get married to his Australian citizen fiancé?

Ogolikpo1:
ok thats nice and u have gotten ur grant. because I have a maternal uncle now who is willing to give me a SOA.
so I shld go on with him?

Yes you can go on with him! As for me I haven't received my grant yet cos I just lodge my application on 12 May... hopefully soon I will get it

Ogolikpo1:
how were u able to defend using the account as the norwegian isnt ur relative

He is my relative.. maternal uncle so have to swear an affidavit at the court to clarify my relationship with him as my sponsor

jackson2dye4:
Refund from who?? That's not an option at this stage.
Gurus, at some point last week my sponsor had about 9m in his account. Please what is the main requirement in assessing SOA? Closing balance? Or i need the 9m to be in for 3months

Firstly they will contact the bank to authenticate the SOA, give call to your sponsor to verify and also make decision on the flow of income in the account if not a borrowed and dump fund.. boss be calm, if the bank authenticate that its genieu and your sponsor act well then you are done. God help u and help us all bro

jackson2dye4:
No.. I didn't upload because it wasn't required and all the people I know that applied to AL1 schools didn't upload as well and they got their grant. I lodged May 9th

This shouldn't be happening o! As someone said you should ask for refund policies and again that won't be the best cos I'm so sure of it that from ur immi account showing assessment in progress, the next is finalized and have visa granted upon providing the SOA... you can use a relative as sponsor who has a foreign account like I used from a Norwegian who accept to sponsor me and I got the statement translated to English for embassy use.

jackson2dye4:
My case officer just mailed me, requesting that I upload my sponsor's bank statement to my immi account...I applied to unsw (AL1) , what do I do?? I am really confused!!! Sponsor didn't work on his SOA

Initially bro, didn't you upload sponsor bank statement when applying for visa? You might think it's not required as the school AL1 doesn't ask for SOA but immigration has there own rules too. In this case that ur case officer request for sponsor account, kindly do so in other to avoid delay in ur visa processing. When did you lodge ur visa application?

cassareknow:
Thanks for this eye opener, but i would like to know, how long does it take to get the certification for the aged care/disability
Also, are there other certifications one can do to help one get job ontime so that one can plan for it alongside, cost of getting a car and so on. All these will really help those of us planning resume by July. thanks.

I can say something about this anyway. The age care certification is about 6weeks and cost about 650AUD. That's for Perth ooo. That's what I intend to do as well as I resume July. My fiancé work at the nursing home so many African mostly Nigerians work there as carer and earn minimum of $24 per hour. But car is important in all o. It will cost u $1500 to get Camry tiny light while up to $2500 to get big daddy Camry. Learn driving here in Naija and explore everywhere so there won't be problem for u to drive in Australia. Retain ur Naija license as u can use it to drive there. I hope this help.... God will answer us soon that are waiting for visa grants

It's a brand new week in the house! Let's hope and pray for visa grants to many of us as we hope and pray for God favor. I receive favor this week IJMN... Amen and Amen #GBAM

boboyi247:

20 minutes or less. Few people are for Australia biometric but U.K. visa applicant are crusade population there

foreverkind1:

Don't worry ,we will all get our visa grants in jesus name. To all the guys that applied for visa recently. How did you pay your visa fees, how much in naira? And how did you pay tuition fees too + cost of medicals.

Big Amen to the prayer bro! I only know the cost of medicals which I did in VI Lagos. It cost 46k and biometric cost 7,430.. as for visa fee and tuition fee. It was paid right there in Aussie

jackson2dye4:
