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.

congrats malkinburg

just watching it right now... the police at sydney said they haven't spoken to the man that held people hostage at the cafe, so they don't know if he is a terrorist and they also don't know what he want... let's just pray no one is hurt or will be hurt...

cheedyH:
. Thanks alot. Will try and locate it.

go to FCID area 10. ask of Oron, he is the officer that did mine.

cheedyH:
. Thanks how much is it? Could you Pls describe d location? Like is it Area 1,2,3,11 etc?

you know naija na, it varies from 8k to 15k... when you get to area 10, I think where those civil service people gather. . you'll meet a T-junction, the right side will lead you to area 1. take the left... sorry I can't describe it any better...

cheedyH:

My people, I wish to confirm that I and my family members were granted skilled select permanent 189 visa this night. I called my case officer to enquire about my application status and he told me he would go through my documents and get back to me. Less than 10 minutes later, I get the grant notification from Australia. Let me start by expressing my appreciation to everybody that has contributed to this forum. I am deeply indebted to bosslady, mameta who sent me his write up for engineers australia, jenny kandry, precher and others too numerous to mention. I appreciate your inputs and support. I cant thank you all enough for the kindnes..May God grant you all your heart desires. Thank you. Those looking for PR visa and student visa God will grant you your heart desires

wow!!! goodnews to celebrate this christmas with... congratulations to you... and welcome to AUSTRALIA...

aduktus:

equlibrium:
So my people oh, which Nigerian bank gives the fairest rates on atm withdrawals over there.
heading out to Oz in feb and mehn, my experience with some banks making payments to Australia has not been pocket friendly at all.
Which one is the best oh!!!!

I use GT bank. the conversion rate is owk. zenith bank does not send me an email when I use their master card so I cant really tell if theirs is also owk... but you still need to open an account when you come over. futuredon can put you through... futuredon over to you. he was the one that put me through...

I don't want to quote anybody when am writing this message... A very big CONGRATULATIONS to the one and only BOSSLADYMO... if to say dem no grant you this visa b4 now, I for don protest on your behalf... infact I for don go meet tony abott one on one... just kidding but for someone like you who have done so much for so many nice peeps here you deserve all the best news that you can get... once againg congratulations and have a blissful australian experience...

NoEasyDay:




Pls guys help me out.

the yellow fever card will be asked of you when you lodge your visa, you will also need it when travelling... just get your documents authenticated at the MOE n MFA... or go to a federal high court to get it notarised... I dont know much about high notarisation because I authenticated mine...

Sunflowergirl:
Bosslady congrats dearie thank God for safe delivery.Equilibrum how you doing? congrats on your visa approval.Iriferi hope I spent your name right lols.how's aussie.

Please guys hope I can lodge my student application in abuja?I don't want to travel to lagos to apply for student visa

yes you spelt it well... just go with what the boss (lady) said... cos when I lodged my application it was with vfs global... but make sure you call and arrange you documents well...

Otunba4eva:

Actually I think I still stand a chance of getting my visa if I can package my application very well despite been denied before. I want someone to please tell me the schools to apply to under SVPs and that has less hurdles. The course is computer science or software related course. Waiting for wise response from any experience Nairaland moderators.

QUEENSLAND UNIVERSITY OF TECHNOLOGY, UNIVERSITY OF QUEENSLAND, GRIFFITH UNIVERSITY, FUTUREDON CAN PUT YOU THROUGH...

chookudi:
what part of Australia are you? Its good to hear you are enjoying the place. Racism though not rampant or common here really exists and may not be expressed as calling you derogatory names or stuff like that...simple acts like preferring to stand up rather than sit beside a black person, or facial expression changes when its the turn of a black person to speak are some of the acts some black people experience..including me..Doesnt bother me as it used to before..

brisbane bro... haven't experienced it... maybe its because I choose not to notice it.. any its not totally out but its minimal... but still I haven't, when I do, I'll say it...

prechear:


Tnx Iriferi. U hav already fallen in love wit OZ in less than a month there. Lol. I love 'COOL' too. I can't wait to finally land

I just have to boss... everybody is just nice here... you meet people in different places and they smile n wave at you... havent seen lor experience racism here

prechear:


Tnx Surveyor1. Glad for d opportunity to come and 'survey' OZ like u.

congratulations preacher... welcome to australia dude... just a tip... (whispers) this place is cool man..

tonybunor:
Greeting from Brisbane... Thanks to everyone once again for the help

you are welcome dude.. na now u go know sey no place like naija.. lol jez kidding.. buh its the truth

FutureDon:


Let me advise you based on my experience - you can book a cheap motel, hotel, backpackers, hostel for the first few nights, this can be booked prior to your arrival using your ATM card. You may use google to find any of these. By so doing, you will be able to search for accommodation. You may not find your choice of place immediately, however you can start with a 3month contract while you search for a better place.

I could have suggested that you stay at my place for a few days, however, I live a lil bit far from the Central Business District (Ann Street) where I believe your campus is located.

he should just try the college accommodation for few weeks then search for a better place. the college accommodation is the best place to first settle cos you'll meet students like your self... my 50 cents
