figur: How old is your pregnancy? Usually blòod test does not cover for pregnancy test and chest and CT scans does not show your stomach. If your bump is very obvious, your panel doctor may advice you not to go for your chest x-ray or may inform dibp about it when submitting your result. I know an ex work mate from Zimbabwe who came on a student visa and had her baby 5months after. That was 3 years ago so don't know if rules have changed. Presently dibp change rules on every visa subclass on a monthly bases. |

[quote author=bblessed post=55219953][/quote] If you have a friend or family member who runs a business in Australia and meet up the requirements for sponsorship they can sponsor you. Hence, you still need to write the english test as it part of the requirements for PR. |

justwise:I have not asked anyone to go loom for a stranger. Prior to now ANYONE could sponsor you as an AL1 which includes a stranger. My response was based on the question asked "can anyone sponsor me?" ANYONE includes strangers okay. So if a person is lucky to find a stranger then their luck. When I was about to apply for my PR i had people i never knew from Adams wanting to provide their company documents so I can stay in Australia. Strangers can invest in people they see prospect in or they want to help. |

justwise:You are also giving wrong information. According to the recent update from immigration, only your parents or spouse can sponsor you on AL1 which i just posted the url in my previous comment. |

justwise:Immigration hardly check on that or even deny your visa base on that. Australia may share database with New Zealand and USA with Canada but not UK and USA etc. Immigration does not have the time to do background checks on that. But then it doesn't mean one has to lie about it when asked. |

justwise: Yes there are heaps of good people every where except for most african countries which Nigeria is very much included. There are good people in australia who have individually sponsored others for permanent residency. Most Oyibos are good people they help without thinking twice or looking for repayments. I am a testimony. I just used the Documentary Evidence List to access myself on AL1 applicant but found out that things have changed since 31st of March 2017 The Document Checklist Tool has been updated. If you intend to lodge a student visa application on or after 31March 2017, you are encouraged to re-check the document checklist based on your country of passport and education provider before lodgement. Your evidence requirements might have changed. Prior to that date anyone could sponsor you. For example: If your parents are old and have retired? If your parents helped your sponsor when he was growing up and now he decided to help you in the name of payback? If your sponsor sees you a lot of prospect in you and decided to invest in you? If your sponsor is a philanthropist? Here is a link to assess yourself: https://www.border.gov.au/Trav/Visa-1/500- |

Edandy:Yes it adviceable not to have money lodgment but if you do, you can cover yourself by having your sponsor write a letter of sponsorship and that he has deposited some funds in your account for the purpose of your studies. Hopefully the money lodgement doesn't come from many different sources. Yes anyone can sponsor you only if you have applied as an AL1 applicant. The total balance in your account does not really matter thou you need to have a constant inflow and outflow of funds and a reasonable amount of money as a closing balance. |

zimunachimdi:Make sure you dont have what they call money lodgment. Total balance doesn't really matter if you have constant inflow and out flow of funds. Do not present a bank statement upon your visa lodgement until your case officer ask for one. Is your mba for 2years? If no, it will be useless going for it as you may not be able to continue your stay in Australia after your course except you find a company to sponsor you. Only degree courses above 2years are given a 2years graduate visa after completion. That also means you have to look for a job in your field of study and may be get the company to sponsor you for a work visa or you apply for your PR if you meet the immigration requirements. 1 Like 1 Share |

diego2015:Thats fine. Some people have been denied 3-4times on tourist visa but still got their student visa. Its all about packaging. Write a good statement of purpose, ask your sponsor to write you a letter stating why he wants you to study a masters program. Do not include bank statement unless they request for it. Front load your medicals. Make sure your masters program is related to your first degree. Ask your present employer to write a letter saying your position is still intact when you return from your study, if possible ask for a new work offer letter with a higher position when you complete your study. Include 1 or 2 recommendation letter (s). Do not include your personal statement but rather 2- 3 of your pay slips plus first offer letter from the company. Include every other documents you have mentioned above. |

SUJYDEE: Toyota, Subaru, infact all Japanese cars. With your budget of $1200-$1500 you will be looking at year 1999-2001 with high mileage. Now speaking of mileage, most cars here have high mileage due to distance to places so do not worry much about mileage if the previous own service their car regularly. I will advice you budget $4000-$5000 for car in that way you won't have to worry much about it breaking down fast. Rego cost depends on car weight, year and stamp duty depends on the cost of purchase. #pennywishpoundsfoolish 2 Likes |

santity100: I once encouraged folks here to go for trade courses. The demand is high and the pay is enormous. Painting, plumbing, Carpentery, mechanic,name namethey all on skill select and on huge demand. Just a few days on the news they mentioned about Aussie not venturing into trades anymore. A friend of mind called a plumber to his house. Call out fees is $100 and 10mins work was $700. He was just vexing for himself. Tradesmen are well-off in Australia and are proud of what they do. Smart Carpenters and painters own 2-3houses here. Mechanic charged me $400 to replace a ball joint in my car. His quote was $100 per hour. Most tradesmens in Australia have more money than bankers and accountants except you are on a high level. |

Titobabe: Different fees to different state. But should be ranging from $15-$25 per hour or $70-$200 per long day. House: $150- $400 depends on location and bedrooms Food: I guess you will be do more cooking. So budget $150-$200 Electricity and gas: are quarterly $ 150 & $100 respectively again depends on how much you use. If you're driving. $50-70 on fuel weekly Miscellaneous $50 - $100 weekly Can get you a better deal on child care if you coming towards Newie 1 Like |

santity100: A couple months ago, somebody on this thread was shutting me down and questioning my knowledge on PR. It's good to see someone else buttress some of the points I commented herein earlier. Hitting the 60points does not automatically qualify you for invitation. There are hundreds of thousands of Indians, Pakistani, Russians, Chinese who have same 60 points as you and edge you with wealth of experiences under their belts vying to be invited. Especially in the area of technology. Although studying in Australia may not necessarily give you an edge over someone with wealth of experience but will over someone without one and applying from external. The immigration has quota of those to be invited each year just like with any type of visa. The quota increases or decreases according to demand. The competition is higher when you apply via sol to csol. If your occupation is in state like Northern territory, Tasmania and South Australia, you have better chances to be invited by those States as long as you are willing to live there for 2 two years before moving on. Don't forget there a thousands of students in Australia paying $40-65k to study with the aim of getting a PR afterwards. They have invested in Australia and will be given preference over someone from overseas without experience vying for same position. Having said that, there is no harm giving it a go as everyone's luck differs. 5 Likes |
