Do you have a notification of result?

charles316: I travel to FUTA to get my PGD certificate only to discover that the school made mistake on my certificate. Silly mistake . They added an alphabet to my surname. To correct the mistake will take a month or 5 weeks. What else can I do?

charles316:

yes i do. can I send that for evaluation?

ironbender101: Good day ma people on this thread. My brother just got he's COE letter, please I need a brief and concise info to apply for he's visa. Secondly, he has just about a month and a week to resume he's study in AU. Thanks

FutureDon:

Ask him to read this: http://www.vfsglobal.com/australia/nigeria/student.html You can ask specific questions if he hits a roadblock. A month and a week is enough time to apply if he's applying under SVP.

Cheers!

kelvinbp: good day! I hold a bsc in sociology from a nigeria university and want to apply for a masters in human resource management. ...I have a few questions about admission into Australian universities

1.Do I need to write the Ielts exams before applying to a school or after I have been admitted by a school
2.what regional areas in Australia have good and affordable schools which I can apply to..as I heard regional areas hv more coys and more chances of getting a sponsored pr
3.Wht type of jobs are available for students in australia
4.I checked up on na school and its fees for international students for the master coursework was about $23000..those this amount for the full 2yrs of the masters course or its jus for a year fees...

Please help me out....thank you

ceazar: When i applied for my course at Deakin Uni, i was asked to send a 1mth statement of account which i did before getting my CoE. When i called Deakin Uni, they said that they do the financial checks so that the visa board wouldn't have to. Hence i didn't think i would be asked for another 3 months financial statement for my visa application. Please can the house help me shed more light to this as i don't have the required money in my sponsor's account. Would i have issues if i refuse to include any financial statement to my application documents considering the fact that SVP is supposed to do so?

ceazar: Hi guys, I have read the information on this page thoroughly - http://www.vfsglobal.com/australia/nigeria/student.html

I applied through an agent - BCIE and I just got my CoE from my school which is under streamlined visa processing. My agent sent me a list of requirements for my visa application and i got confused. See list

busola78: Hello futuredon,pls am new here nd i will want u to explain wat u mean dat for student app u dont need a bank statement.@ceazar pls wat the 535usd for,also hw much did u pay to get the Coe?thanks all

Streamlined student visa processing arrangements have been available since 24 March 2012 for prospective international students with a Confirmation of Enrolment (CoE) from a participating university at bachelor, masters or doctoral degree level or for a non-award university student exchange or study abroad programme. These applicants are assessed as though they are lower migration risk (similar to the current Assessment Level 1), regardless of their country of origin.

FutureDon:

As far as SVP is concerned, you do not need items 7, 9, 10, 11. I'm sure you have already signed an SVP declaration form attached to your admission offer letter. If not, the Uni wouldn't have issued a CoE. However, I have come to realise that agents tend to ask for whatever documents they could think of, irrespective of the visa category.

Since you do not have the statement of account available, talk to your agent to let you submit your visa application without it. I understand they may be unwilling to accept this request. It is highly unlikely that the embassy would request for it as it is not a requirement under SVP.

In addition, do not forget to include a Statement of Purpose (max 2pages) as it is very important.

luvlyruky:

I think you should have asked your agent earlier on about their requirement and how much before you begin to process.like me I had to ask agents about their requirement and their price and some of them talked about this streamline visa thing and there's no need to submit bank statement if you are following this process.

ceazar:

Thanks a lot FutureDon. I almost forgot about my statement of purpose. I would speak to my agent about the SVP declaration form as it was not attached to my offer letter. All i got was an acceptance form and an acceptance checklist for AL3$4 and i am certain that Deakin Uni is under SVP. Is there anything else you think i should add?




I made all necessary inquiries and that's why i was prepared to show a statement of account with $30k+ just to receive a CoE. But i didnt think i would be asked to show a statement with $60k (balance of school fees + $18k) to apply for visa when my school is under SVP.



Is anyone currently about to or has just started processing his/her student visa 573 to AU on his/her own? Lets work together.

luvlyruky:

Its okay,things do happen.will start my application hopefully next month.

FutureDon:

1. I think the name varies across institutions. For example, some institution refers to it as ''Declaration of Financial Capacity'' or simply ''Financial Declaration''.

2. Type of Program (e.g. BSc, MSc, MPhil, PhD...) and NOT type of institution determines if one qualifies for SVP.

ceazar:

When do u intend to travel and what school did you apply to?

luvlyruky:

Will be applying next month for feb.victoria university

ceazar: I have been able to confirm that my program and school qualifies for SVP. There is an aspect of the visa checklist that asks for this - Proof of ties with home country/incentive to return to home country: All applicants are required to provide evidence of ties with the home country and incentive to return to home country What do you think would be the best document to use to satisfy this requirement?

FutureDon:

Excellent!

Now to your tricky question - I've had the opportunity to advise 3 people going for BSc, they all got their visas. Since they had no landed properties (to demonstrate home ties) at the time of applying, we made sure their SoP strongly demonstrate their intention to return home on completion of their program - this is very important. I would be happy to help you review your drafts at NO COST if you need me to.

Abeg, I'm not an agent oooo, these are people just known to me.

bossladyMo: Pls for anyone who has paid for their Aus school fees or OSHC or any payment to an Aus business, with a GTB Naira Mastercard - Does the payment get deducted from the bank account mmediately, or does it take a while for the withdrawal of funds from bank account to complete...like a holding period?

bossladyMo: Okay. Here is exactly what the issue is -

Payment says completed
Available balance shows money deducted, but ledger balance still shows the money.

Could it take more than 24hrs in some cases?
