justloveme:
hey laminaria, is it possible to get a diploma program for someone who finish secondary school 10-12years ago,asking for a friend.

@Justloveme: what was he/she during inbetween the period? Is gonna be hard to convince any CO as GTE without solid activity for such a lengthy period.
@Richnet: perhaps you need to work more on your experience to qualify for PR but as for for raising the rest of the money while studing here my bro....YOU CANT. Only if your bro/uncle is gonna be responsible for larger part of it.

@Dontee5star: it is a suicide mission bro...You can't raise it irrespective of your ability. If you can go thru PR if you are eligible.

@Richnet: your case officer knows your resumption date,only if you have one for now since your visa is under level3. Concerning your test of English validity am not sure tho but I guess you should be fine provided you have submitted prior to the time it expires l, if all things work well the worst case is to provide current English test. About frequent emails or calls it is a no no idea it shows how desperate you are...you will surely hear from them when it is 3months. I think at this point just keep your fingers cross and full of prayers.
Should anyone needs svp college in Brisbane http://queensford.edu.au

Ask me how it was wen visa was denied but all d same heaven will not come down, it is also an avenue for u to make proper amendment to your new application one of the reason y I like oz visa outcome is that they let you see u reasons why it was denied, u only need to see deep how those co reason and also be sincere with people on this forum if by chance u AV anyone helping you to go tru your app, f I can make it second time u can make it too I remember what Futuredon said wen I told him my visa was granted..'bro u are a fighter' Neva give up to all those who were denied and Neva Let it known to the forum noting to be ashamed of, erictact203 was denied and yet always give lil advice to people,my bro am really waiting for that goodnews, I met a guy who was also denied on 572 svp and he re applied and got it.@erictact203: u made sense on your analysis, individual circumstances differ.
@futuredon:where are thou boss? @bellong: I salute u sir.@malking: I hope u still keep my rice warm?
May this new yr brings us our heart desired.
I say happy new year to onshore and visa success to offshore.

Merry xmas to us all...may the reason of d season speaks for us all. Trust me all of u will be adequately served in due time no matter how much email u sent to Pretoria it doesn't add or move them rather it shows how desperate you are. Been in shoe n I understand how it was for me to wait for d outcome twice one was purely level3 (3months 4days) Guys just relax n enjoy ur yelu season wit your family cos soon u start missing them.

@Lami,
Hello bro, I sent you a PM.

acknowledged bro!

oga bellong thank you for checking up.
futuredon no kuku give me origin to drink for Brisbane.
congrats to all new visa grants, and succes to awaiting applicants...been a while, cant blv i can go days without checking nairaland.

chi50:

I dnt understand u. you can only use ur offer letter as home tie if it is clearly stated in d letter that d job will still be waiting for u wen u return. If u are 4 svp, then remember there are still other ways to prove ur gte.
An offer letter is however impt as evidence of ur work history so I guess u can swear an affidavit for it if u can't have it corrected. if ur employer is also willing to give u a ref letter, den it can also be stated there.
best of luck to u

@bolded i guess u meant to say employment letter.
@chetaray: make sure u fill question 40, landed property, marriage certificate (if married), Registered Business in naija etc.

chi50:
I can see oga bellong in the house. Sir, please do u have any response to my question at laminaria?

hello chi50, if your question is about oshc, oga bellong & great futuredon has said it all, but if otherwise pls re-qoute me, IOM is good mail them and get booking confirmation. it takes two weeks for the processing. wlc on board!

erictack203:
What was the content of the email you sent to them? I remember telling ppl that applied for their Visas on this thread to be guided when contacting pretoria.

Though, you don't have to be scared as the email you got was from the General Secretary in-charge of Visa enquiries.

Emails are to be sent to: immigration.pretoria@dfat.gov.au

Email is to be sent only when the standard processing time has passed for your application. If you keep sending unnecessary emails, you will keep having unnecessary response.

Pretoria is currently experiencing heavy lumps of Visa applications and it's making it to take time for Visa processing. Most SVPS are now 6-7weeks since August.

The person that replied you is not your CO and doest know the AL you are in, you were just classified as AL3 because you applied from AL3 country.

@bolded
am not sure about that, i applied aug 27th and got my grant sept 15th. not up to three weeks. medical ahead is always good too.
waiting to hear your success story erictact203.

bb64:

ewagbamio:
don't put unnecessary pressure on ursef, photocopy dose visa page(s) u wish to use lik one or two is okay just to show travel history..i didn't use it n i got d visa, alot here on nairaland who got it without travel history.
u must certified d current passport page u wish to use at teleperformance.
best of luck!

atrapon:
House,please my course ends 30/03/2020 according to my COE,how long will my oshc last,yet to organise it.thank you

3-4months after d completion of ur last course is okay.

chi50:


lolz, sorry 4 digging up d past, but na d present n future matter pass. I'm also not a Bros oh. Regarding number 1 question 40, I am yet to apply So I can put my Dad or my siblings there right?

just kidding about that tho...is a a tin of d past, i smile wen i look at wat i went tru during dose period.
and yes ur dad will be okay.
best of luck!

chi50:

Hi, just going thru your posts again when I saw dis one. Numbers 1 and 3 reason. I am single too and didn't include any family members in my form 157A. How does dat affect ones visa because I can't put my immediate family's name there as they specified that ur family members are ur spouse n kids not parents and siblings.

number1 reason is question 40..any of ur relative in your home country who is neither accompanying nor joining you in oz. ans : any of your family members.
number3: is not really important cos alot of people got d visa and yes they are single without putting any future wife or husband name on it
but i tink question 40 is compulsory...if u are yet to apply u can do d needful and if already applied, put faith in GOD.
bros u wicked o...u go dig out my painful past anyway #Godwin.

chi50:

Thanks 4 all ur quick responses, we appreciate. You keep mentioning a strong Sop, can u please show us an example.
Also, did u get a call from Pretoria at any time b4 u got ur visa like maybe for interview.

yea and i will keep on sayin it....since a u're not goin to b there to explain ur claims. what is written on your sop will do d talking so it must really convince d CO abt ur GTE. for what to write abt sop u can go to form157A question 33.
abt d interview, they call some people and sometimes dey dont call.....if they call u i guess is to get some clarification but i learnt from people they call is that, if u truly put ir application together u shud be able to flow. she didn't call me d visa grant just drop

chi50:


Thanks, I am working in a hospital and my reference letter just says I work with them n nothing else. I will definitely do as advised here to avoid complications. So wat did u tick in their checklist regarding bank verification document, I saw that in teleperformance list.

hmmmm....try and talk wit your boss to state that on your reference letter that serves as home tie too. honestly i dont understand what u mean by bank verification document from teleperformance.
btw i just noticed you and 2posh are asking d same questions in different way. all d same, go tru their checklist very well.

2posh:


Thanks Laminaria but I wasn't asking about showing financial evidence. My question was about the company letter or parents' letter you talked about.
Does the company letter have to state stuff about study leave and that my job will be waiting for me when I get back? There's no such guarantee in my case. Such a letter isn't listed in the SVP checklist either. Am I missing something?

yes it is not stated there but blv me Job reference letter is one of d biggest home tie. u can compel your boss to do that for you.

2posh:



Hi Laminaria,

Please shed more light on the bolded statement. One has to obtain a letter from their current workplace or from parents? What will be the purpose/content of the letter? Didn't you just mention that you didn't submit anything for financial evidence? Please explain further. Thanks

You need to cool of yourself from financial evidence u keep asking otherwise u complicate issue for yourself, stick to what is on checklist.... http://www.border.gov.au/Trav/Visa-1/572-/Subclass-572-document-checklist-streamlined. dont know ur visa type tho but i guess it will help u.
if you are working....Yes 100% u need letter from them except u av a way of proofing to CO that u are coming bak to start up your ursef. letter from your working place will show that u are working wit them, ur duties , Grant of ur study leave and how ur course in oz will have positive impact.
if u are above 18yrs u dont letter from your parents.

chi50:


@laminaria, Congratulations.
In d place of bank statement did you have to show any other form of financial evidence, like sponsorship letter or separate declaration or something as @erictack203 said. If Yes, pls clarify. I'm going to teleperformance this week n I want to be fully prepared to avoid wahala. I'm also using SVP like u did. pls I await ur valued response.

Dont complicate issue bro, i didn't use anything as form of financial evidence....i hope u already ticked svp on your form157A. .wen u get to telerperformance, they will also give u a form to tick...there also u tick that u av financial strength to cover all ur expenses and that's settles it.
as for your sponsorship letter.. i didn't sumbit any tho. if u are working company letter will fil d vacuum amd strong SoP. but if u are not then mayb either of ur parents.

erictact203: yes bro, i used FormA via bank tranfer for the payments i made to the school, i dont know much abt cbn rules regards to that presently....2posh: ibueed NPC attestation, and yes i got d visa. like lawland used age declaration, i guess once is from a recognized body u shud be okay wit it.

@ifexsco: mtn does the magic for me, #500 can talk up to 25min but depending on d best network coverage in your area. all d best!

FutureDon:


Congrats my brother, sorry I have been missing in action, lol. I'm so happy for you my brother, glad I was able to assist in my own little way even though I wasn't prompt with my replies back then. Abeg pack money come for boys ooo.

yes boss more than little way o.....your origin is already in d freezer. check ur mail too.
see you in Brisbane soonest!

ewagbamio:
thanks erictack2003, i will call them tonight and hear them out.
Yeah, I knew about the rejection that was my reason for writing that statement. Keep in mind that laminaria was also rejected not so long ago and now she's back and balling big time

am actually a guy, most people make u of bank tranfer via formA....i used too,..and beside i tink is more safer n better, u know sometimes am personally afraid of this online transaction due to network or hackers (boys on keyboard)but i know couple of guys that used as well
