there is a Ghanaian woman in Annerley(Ipswich road) that has a big congested shop called the African Market (i feel wey dey charge anyhow because there are no prices attached to the goods but she is stocked).
Another Yoruba woman dey Inala market. Shes always very excited to see nigerians that come to shop. She stocks spices real well.

Happy Spice-hunting..

bossladyMo:

bossladyMo:
s it compulsory one takes the yellow fever vaccine, before getting the card...especially if one has been vaccinated in the past 2yrs and brings evidence?

Must the yellow fever vaccine be from ports health, or will any govt hospital certificate do?

The reason I ask is because the vaccine is contra-indicated for breastfeeding mothers.

laminaria:

Hey good day everyone. Happy new year.

Have been going through the forum everyday since sometime in 2013. I have learnt a lot from contributions from a lot of dedicated people I can't start to mention. To cut the long story short, me and my wife just got our subclass 573 visa after all the plenty drama and long thing my case officer put me through that I can't mentioning here.

Zenkel, Futuredon,Bossladymo, Equilibrium, and a host of others many thanks.

Brisbane here I come.

sunnysunshine:
PLEASE future don,i havent done medical yet...AND i submitted my application since 20th November.I m still waiting for that,but nothing yet.

I have another issue bothering me...i submitted my student visa application together with the recommendation letter from my working place.unfortunately,i lost the job recently because of minor issue...my question is ...would that have any negative effect on my visa application?

You should be contacted this week hopefully for medical request - I assumed you applied for 574 or 573. You shouldn't be too worried if your resumption date is not around the corner.

As for the recommendation letter, you do not have any reason to be worried since you are applying for a student visa. I can bet my ATM card (with pin) that there wouldn't be any concern about it, again, assuming you applied under the SVP category.

UCHDR:
which documents did you submit for the svp visa ?

Read few pages back or just peruse my posts, it's there bro

malmo:
i will appreciate this information too
thanks

happytbaby:
Are there any students currently at Flinders or USQ? Please signify so that we can ask you questions.

To begin with, most of us tend to ignore long posts

I would suggest that he retake PTE, that's one of the easiest standardized English exam anyone could write - based on my experience. Please do not signup for that 20-30wks English prep course, it's a complete waste of money and time for a Nigerian who has been using English language since Primary school. All he needs to do is get some free test materials online (using google) and take as many as possible prior to his test date.

I am happy to provide information about applying by yourselves, although much has been posted here already. You can peruse my previous posts. Unrealtedly, I do think that all Australian unis are good. I'm aware of the existence of university ranking, however, I do no think that Aussies place much emphasis on it. In sum, your brother should be able to attend any of the universities you have listed in your post. In my opinion, Flinders, USQ and ECU are all decent Unis. I would have advised otherwise if he's looking to do some research intensive programs.

Good day all,i have just submitted my student [573svp] visa application last week 20th November to be precise and got acknowledgement the same day....but i haven't received any information with regards to the progress of my visa application as of today..please how long does it take before a co/vo will be assigned to my application and subsequently make a contact with me?

They don't usually contact applicants unless they need more documentation - In my own case, I didn't receive any acknowledgement email but I was confident that they had received my application. So just dey pray make dem no contact you until 10 working days with your visa notification (I assumed you've completed your meds pre-submission). Good luck, eat well and sleep well

@jennykadry, futuredon,surveyor1,bossladymo

leonshom:

Thanks.

surveyor1:
future don how brisbane. Which uni u dey and how research dey go?

Oga mi, we dey there dey manage o. It's UQ bro and research is going on smoothly. I go come chop semo for your side someday

bossladyMo:
Lol!

How long did it take to clear?

bossladyMo:
The lady told me it will clear in a week....though I was ofthe opinion that medicals take at least 3wks to clear...for migrant visas though.

So if he doesn't have any health problems, past and present, he might juat be in the same situation as me.

Spot on, my meds were referred when I applied (I posted it here also). I didn't even know until I contacted the embassy after my normal processing time elapsed. My professor was more worried that he contacted Pretoria on my behalf, and the guys at the embassy gave him a more specific response, imagine that!!!

I was surprised that my meds were referred despite having no meds history or hospitalisation history. I con dey fear maybe na the 'jedi' wey I drink for Shalaye shop cause am

sunnysunshine:
Good day all,thanks for the response i have received so far with regard to my previous question[b] ....i would like the house to help me verify if anyone has been issued a visa under SVP without statement of account and sponsorship letter?[/b]
My agent has been pressurizing to bring one even when i have referred him to DIAC website where it stated that a student under SVP just needs to declare that he has the ability to take care of himself while in Australia without showing any documents attached. thanks for your anticipated reply

Many people, including myself, got our visas approved without a statement of account. It's either your provide your agent with what they want or just proceed and apply by yourself. Applying for an Australian student visa (SVP category) is one of the easiest thing to do. It's easier than some of the assignment you'll have to complete in the Uni when you arrive

alukojosh:
