Applying yourself requires you to pay application fee and does delay compared to going through their agents

Thanks a lot that really helps n it's good to know there are people here to go through dis stage with together.

HonNellymike12:

Good evening house,

I would like to share my testimony,
I applied for my student visa on the 8th of August.
I didnt submit an account statement with my application because of the university i chose (Deakin University).
I called the embassy yesterday and i was told that they were busy with july intake so my application was not yet treated.
I told my agent yesterday to defy my admission because i felt they wouldnt meet up. But she advised that i should be patient
I just got a mail this evening that my visa was granted.

After your biometrics and the likes did you or your agent get any mail about your visa application? I am kinda worried I did not get neither did my agent but she tells me it's fine.

i will try my best to do just that . Most times I get skeptical reading a thread from day one of its birth because I can see the date go far back to 2016 to 2015 hence I randomly think the process certainly must have changed from the way it works now .. but my question actually is if you can guide , I will still read back from the thread . I am a graduate from a Nigerian university, but sadly with a 3rd class. I want to move from Nigeria to the werstern world for greener pastures, naija Mayer tire everyone . Thing is I don't know which visa to go for yet and a country that can be okay for me , I have my eyes on European countries, CanadA New Zealand or Australia . I am 24 going on 25 next year . Mom is willing to sponsor me with a budget of 3 to 4 million . Which visa do I go for and what's my best option?

If u r considering Aussie 4m won't be enough for even half a year and its only Deakin I know takes 3rd class in aussie

zeemo2007:


If it has passed the processing timeline and the school is resuming soon. You should contact them.

Unless you applied recently.

Most people that got visa recently applied as far back as June and others for Feb also applied as far back June too

I just applied like mid September.

foreverkind1:

Okay dear, it's well, all d best

Thanks. Same for u too. I pray for God's grace and favours concerning all awaiting visa grant.

zeemo2007:


I wish you the best. It will also happen for you.

Try to call them and notify them of your intake.

My agent said contacting them makes someone look desperate. Do u really think I should contact them?

foreverkind1:

What's up dear, nothing from d embassy yet?

No. I am hoping to get something soon.

zeemo2007:
Hello people,

Firstly it is God and destiny.

Importantly, I submitted all kind of evidences to proof GTE and i really took my write the sop.

Who is going to Melbourne this October, we can book flight and travel together.

Yes we can after I get ny visa grant. Congratulations to you. I am also resuming Oct 30.

uckennety:
Please house my uncle in South Africa wants to sponsor me but we have different surnames please what can be done?

U can get an affidavit on how u r related n ask ur agent before uploading it with the bank statement.

MrFuckallday:

Lol mine is 2k aud fam

That is around 500 or 600k in naira

guadete:
Are these test among what someone has to do for medical, x-ray, blood test, yellow fever and where is the test in Lagos. How long does the result take

Google iom office in gra ikeja I think it's no 1 Isaac john gra ikeja. U don't get the result they send it straight to the embassy n take ur international passport along. They will only do Uribe test, and chest xray if u r not a medical student.

cassareknow:
finally touched down Melbourne on 24th September 2017, a very long trip it was. My POE experience was a little long but it all went well at the end. All glory to God. My advise for those coming to Australia any soon, kindly visit the airport to meet directly with airlines to see if the could fix a flight with less layovers, long layovers could be very tiring trust me am a living testimony. I had to spend 20hrs in Istanbul alone and the only airport within the airport is way too expensive. Also food served weren't that cool for me sha *my opinion*, i heard south African airlines are good but the point is visit the airport or call the airlines sha. If i remember any other thing,would gladly share for now na sleep sure pass.

dpnt mind the errors.#shoye

Congrats dearie
Will be joining you at Deakin soon God willing. God protect and guide you.

When coming to study in Australia, please if you plan to work and study, try to get some skills before coming. When I say some skills, I mean skills like knowing how to drive, how to barb, hairdressing skill. U can easily get a job if you have worked at supermarkets or if you have logistic, marketing and public relation skills. These skills can get you a job within 5days. Generally, Australians are good and friendly people. Food is cheap, but rent is affordable if you can get a friend to share with. But it is somewhat costly if you depend on work to pay your tuition and rent. But, you will survive it if you are hulk hogan kind of person. People do that here. As per school, you ll be glad you come if you eventually get the visa. Before I got here. In my case, I waited for my visa for about 4months and I got it when I was expected to resume in two days time. I had to travel immediately, with air ticket cost of about 800k because I bought it the same day I got the visa and I had to travel the following day. I couldn't take my local food, but I found lovely places I could get my Amala and semo here in Australia. Again, I left with small dollar, I didn't know anyone here, but through the help of Nigerian students association, I got a place the same day I got there for 130 dollar for a week before moving to my rented apartment. Concerning learning here, I wish I had studied in Australia since I was born. Several development and training programmes organised to integrate student into the academic world. But as Nigerians, you will cope since they speak clear English. Let me add that I got 9 different scholarships (2 in Australia). I didn't have a first class but I made good grades and I applied for them directly to my school. When I was leaving home, I had to borrow a lot to pay for medical, visa fee, insurance and even air ticket, just to fulfil my dream. Please don't allow anything to stop you. You can search for scholarship if you intend to enroll for a PhD course, regardless of the course or area of research study. Mine was in Philosophy. You have 95percent chance to learn all you need to succeed in life in Oz. Where I work here in Nigeria before travelling, my annual salary was 400k, but here while studying my monthly stipend gives me almost twice my annual salary in a month. So ask me: Why won't I study? Please do the best you can and pursue your dream. And let me say this: pray, work and don't forge your documents. Say the truth in your visa application---truthfulness is what has worked for me and for others that I have met here in Australia....I'd feel I owe you guys my testimony and advice.

I am so inspired by your testimony cos we r like in thesame shoes. I applied for a visa already and I pray I am granted soon enough to resume early. I pray that we all fulfill God's will for us.

chimax1:
Pls are sure about this. Last time I checked it was 560 aud, exchange rate at 291. That is around 160k.

It's 500 USD

IamphilVitalis:
please can any current person that just paid a visa fee tell me the exact amount of the visa in naira

184k

PHUMEELAYO:
Please can anyone help out with paying of application fee? 100AUD......my card is being rejected.

Get someone that has a dom account and pay the money into the person acct and use the card.

chimax1:
Hey guys, pls I want to know if I can get my conditional offer without my transcripts. This strike is making it difficult for futo to process my transcripts(which normally takes 2 months), and am going for the Feb intake. I emailed the school and was told to send my other docs while they await the transcipt. Has anyone received an offer letter without transcripts?

U will not get offer without transcript if u sent other doc to them they will only keep it aside.

peteredo:
my sister marriage certificate, her birth certificate and consent letter

Cool that shouldl work. Mention all dis to ur agent and see if it works

MrFuckallday:
Please I've got an urgent question guys. My agent told my uncle that he needs my university transcript and that I should send it to him via email so I'd like to know if schools give it personally to their students upon request? Anybody with relevant information should advise please. Thank you in anticipation.

I thinks u Sid call someone from ur school abt that. U know dfft schools with their own policy

peteredo:
i submitted my sponsor statement of account to the school and paid my fees of which my coe was sent to my agent i have passed d school issue i have even done medical but at d point of submission for my visa my agent is saying i ve to change sponsor bcause embassy will refuse my application bcause i am using my brother inlaw

The only reason ur agent is saying that is because there is no prove of relationship btw u and ur brother in law to convince the embassy.

peteredo:
i have paid fees gotten coe from d school wit is acct balance close at 14m ... my schooll does not require a sponsorship but d agent is insisting i must provide nd d worst part is i ve done medicals

Since u have ur coe and done medicals all u r left with is to apply for visa. Which agent are u using sef

peteredo:
deakins University... they are requesting i write to the school for d coe dey cant release d coe to me

Probably they are talking about personal statement because deakin will not send u Coe till they have all they ask for. Just got mine today sef after requesting for documenta one by one.

[quote author=peteredo post=60417701]please help... my agent is refusing to submit my application saying my brother-in-law cant sponsor me ... nd i ve done medicals already[/quote

He/she is right because they request for prove of relationship with ur sponsor. In that case what prove do u provide

Ericsunday619:
honestly it's not a registered marriage what should i do

Look for a genuine paper work to prove he is ur step dad cos aside the prove u can't use him as ur sponsor
