What's up Surveyor? How is your application going?

symbian03: What starts next year?

From March next year, applicants in assessment 3 can only be sponsored by a close relatives and the good part is that evidence of fund required has been reduced from 18 months to 12 months.

ferdimako: How far with you on the yellow card? I have searched all Jos and it's not done here oh. They said it's in Lagos and Abuja. I'd like to know the venue in Lagos.

I did mine yesterday at the ministry of health here in Onitsha. I don't want to believe they don't do it in Jos, try the ministry of health and the general hospitals.

Pls during your cause of searching for school in WA, did you come across any school that starts there M.sc in March?

wahabcoal: Yea that's cool, it's going to work out well for us i pray.

@all, I read in previous two pages that sponsors has to be immediate relations, when will it be effective? Cos my supposed sponsor is a close mentor.

Don't worry about it if you are lodging your application this year because it starts march next year.

snowburn: . . .by the way, is that 889 visa not a form of Temporary visa? Cos if it is, mehnn na time wasting oo even if it is still available IMO

its for PR...

jennykadry: Oh my goodness NOO. Not another fight. Focus people, focus

The last time I checked, to write here is free. The worst part is that I wasn't referring to the guy though I quoted him. I read that news when it was proposed around the last quarter of 2012 in media release that was why I said old story. The Bloke can go on and rant.

Chubi4show: Hello my people,
I just completed my e-medical examination @ zankli clinic Abj. For just N30k.

That news will definitely make people that did theirs in Lagos wanna cry.... Good to hear you have done your medicals...

Please is there any school in WA esp Perth that has March intake? Again how many days to the commencement date can SVP applicants be able to apply for Visa?

What a boring day here!!!
I don't like it when this thread gets boring that's why I always ask questions here sometimes not because I don't know it but for others to comment on it and for others to learn from the sharing and for me to learn more cos knowledge got no limit. I encourage people to share whatever idea that comes to their mind here because we still have a lot to learn. The main thing is not getting a visa but knowing how to survive and achieve our various goals is. *THERE IS LOVE IN SHARING*

kmontee: what do u want to do wif d yellow fever card? gimme more info on how u booked and paid for your flight ticket

You need to show the card when you land in Aussie, from what I read, they won't necessary deny you entry if you don't have the card, they will administer the vaccination to you. I just don't want any delay. If you want to book with Emirates, book online and pay in first bank or citibank if you want money transfer. My Uncle's agent booked for me but you can easily do It online.

manmeta: Thanks Ferdie. I'm good, likewise the family. I'd see you guys are good here too. Take care and all the best.

How did you get your yellow fever card? Did you have any problem on the other side cos of it?... Ok guys, I have gotten the info I need, it cos #500 and can be gotten at any general hospital.

Largo: I have been requested to go for medicals

Its long overdue bro... Congrats in advance

I want info on Yellow fever card....
The necessity...
Where I can get it.....
The cost..... Etc

ferdimako: Yeah, but I think we won't be in the same campus. I'm going to Mt.Lawley and he's for Joondalup.

It depends on the proximity shaa...

ferdimako: Good! We're in together.

May be we can rent a house in Perth and share the rent. What do you think Ferdi and Chubi4show?

Chubi4show: Thanks bro. I will do my medical next week in abj. called mr Phillip nw and he said their x-ray machine is now in order. Cost= 36k

You too like cheap things *laughing* I believe that's why you didn't do in Lagos.

Chubi4show: I just got my acknowledgement letter and my HAP ID now.

The sky is your limit bro, proceed to your medicals cos that one takes up to 5 days sometimes. I am sure you must have gotten your visa grant by this time next week. Good luck bro

[quote author=Lil B®ight™©]Ur misunderstading me, the thing is I haven't been here for a while and just came seeing people say Congrats, to be on the safe side I said Congrats before asking so can u pls tell me why they're congratulating u guys?[/quote]For the visa grant of course

Chubi4show: exactly....

Yeah, I forgot... Good luck then... You don't need to worry since your app is SVP and I believe your classes will be resuming next year. Write them for your acknowledgment letter though

Chubi4show: Without an HAP ID?

I am surprised you asked that question... Ask your friend Kmontee how he did his naa... Go and do health declaration in the DIBP website.

Chubi4show: I'm yet to do my medical. I intended doing it prior to lodging in abj buh d x-ray machine in zankli clinic is faulty so had 2 lodge... Should I wait 2 be instructd b4 going to lag for medical since my app is already wit them? What do u think?

Abeg go to Lagos and do your medicals, those people don't have time to wait for people or send people mail. They have always stated that complete app gets quick processing. Just go and do your medicals bloke.

[quote author=Lil B®ight™©]Congrats to kmontee and Lawland but if I may ask, what are we congratulating them for? I'm lost [/quote]Are you sure you are in the right Thread?

Chubi4show: Congratulations to you bro. Am yet to hear frm them. *already dancing for u*

Did you do your medicals before or after lodging your application? Medicals normally take close to a week to come out... If your panel doctor has acknowledged your medicals submission to Sydney, write to Pretoria tomorrow.

omoteefat: pls house, I need your help on this. Is it okay to use a sponsor who is operating a joint account with his wife?

Its ok as far as the acct meets the requirement... You will need the both signatures in your sponsorship letter though.

kmontee: going to melbourne bro. though i have pr plans but lemme get there first.

Any plans on leaving yet?

Largo: . Thanks that's thoughtful of you, nothing yet. I called my case officer on monday, she said they are still doing checks. I guess all I can do is wait for them.

Did you do medicals as I told you? I strongly advice you do it and send it to your CO if you haven't.

kmontee: my visa grant letter just popped into my box after i sent an email to get an acknowledgement letter from australian high commision pretoria. congrats to me. Mine was just 8 days cos i applied on 30/10/2013. Glory to God

Kmontee my friend, very big congrats to you... Its good to know SVP is now working for Nigerians... Congrats once more, let's go and do Nigeria proud. Which state are you going to?

@ Largo was just thinking about you now and you appeared. How far? Any news? Has it not been up to 6 weeks?

UBKtech:

me sef wan come look for oyel money in Perth, so please keep in touch. do not forget me bros

Ole! See you see oil money.... I won't forget anyone.. We somehow need one another here to survive...

Watermelon: @ Lawland, there are many shops in Sydney where one can buy African food stuffs, and may not need to stress himself transporting them from home and they are very cheap here. I am not trying to discourage you from bringing in condiments from home.There are African shops at Paramatta (Church street), Liverpool (Railway street, about 45 metres away from Liverpool station), Enmore (Enmore street, approximately 40 metres from Newtown station). Yam, cocoayam (Ede oku and the other type for bitterleaf soup), crayfish, assorted fruits and fresh vegetables including green, okro, ewedu etc can be purchased at Paddys Market, Flemington - the biggest fruit market in Sydney just right there at the Flemington railway station. For cheap and fresh groceries visit Aldi, Coles, Woolworths, Iga and Reject shops; miracle eye, Hay market at China town close to central station and food works for Asian food stuffs like indomie and the other "orisirisi" including toad and octopus

For clothings, visit Kmart, every suburb in Sydney has at least, one branch of all the big players in grocery and clothing bussness, when you arrive visit their websites to locate the nearest branch to your area of residence.
Ensure your mobile device has google map to enable you navigate with ease because asking people for direction often gives them the perception that you are an Illiterate though most will not hesitate to help. Catch your Sydney buses, ferries and trains in time using 131500.com.au.
Remember that eating out with friends is on a "Bring Your Own" basis, that is, if a friend invites you to a meal in a restaurant, you pay for whatever you consume and the friend pays for his.
If you are a Catholic, you can join them every second Sunday of the month for Igbo service at St Oliver Plunket catholic church, Harris Park, Paramatta and that gives an opportunity to meet the Igbo comuniity in Paramatta axis.

Thanks for this... But I won't be staying permanently in Sydney, I will be moving to Perth in January...

Plshavmercyamen: Hi, @all. Please, i want to know wot exactly the case officers/immigration look out for in the sponsor's statement of acct, is it the volume of transaction or just the amount therein? Tanx

Non of us here is a case officer so we wouldn't know... I guess the main thing is meeting the condition or requirement in your checklist...
