Plshavmercyamen: Thanks. I got the offer from ETI this afternoon. And yes, i saw the option of paying through bank draft. But, I want to know if paying through bank draft is ok or is there a better option?

The best option is either to pay by Telegraphic transfer or Credit card.. Its easier and more flexible.. Take the payment option page to the bank..

People that applied for masters, did you scan original documents including transcript and upload them or did you scan the certified copies? Curtains accepted my scanned original copies, I want to know about other schools...

Sound advice, bank draft will not be better than tt or credit card, because the draft will have to be in australian and most probably they will insist it has to be drawn on australian bank. also you will have to courier the draft to them.

Card payment is always the bezt method cos it saves you the hasslez of changing to australian dollar and having australian dollar denominated domiciliary account. it is also cheaper than draft or tt.

so go with card, my 2cents

Scanned certified copies of original docs to schools and they accepted it.

Which school is that? Does it mean they won't accept scanned originals? My guy has scanned originals in his system, he wants to know if he is to upload that or certify the copies, scan and upload them... I am just in dilemma since I applied for my Ad. Dip and PGD with scanned originals and got offers...

Visa application fees are generally not refundable even if you are refused visa but school fees are refundable if you are not granted a visa...

lawland: Visa application fees are generally not refundable even if you are refused visa but school fees are refundable if you are not granted a visa...

the visa fee you are talking about, is d 585$ in australian dollars or american dollars? so we have have to pay the fee at VFS together with their courier fee which is around 38,800. Secondly, how is the hap id for medicals gotten?

The visa fee is 585usd and yes you will still pay VFS 38,800 for their courier service. You can get the HAP ID by filling out the health declaration form in the DIAC website.

HAP ID is a personal identifier, the clinic will need the ID to see and send your medical record to HOC. After filling the health declaration, you will be given a referral letter which contains your HAP ID, you will take the referral letter to the clinic for your medicals.

Your age is no problem as far as you are under 50 yrs... As for paying for your fees, it depends on your individual circumstances and whether you are going for a degree or TAFE courses.. I will leave this to Jennykadry to answer.. Just pray she comes around...

Americanvisa: Lawland, were you contacted to go for medical or you submitted with medical?

It depends on what your sponsor does, I haven't been granted visa remember? So using same document I used won't guarantee you success.. Tell me what your sponsor does and I will try and tell you documents to include...

have two sponsors, one is a businessman and the other a civil servant. so you mean you submitted your medicals together with your application, wow!! also regarding showing an evidence that will you will return back to Nigeria after studies, how did you deal with that one. I'm on the verge of preparing everything so i need guidance.

@ lawland
the checklist u submitted along with your application, was it the one sent to you by VFS or the checklist on DIAC site and the $585.was it the amount you wrote on the last page of the form as visa charge or did you convert it to AUD?

It depends on who has the larger money. Is the businessman sponsoring you with business acct? If yes, ask him for his business statement or tax clearance in addition to his statement of acct.. That's if he is the principle sponsor. But if the civil servant is the principle sponsor, you must ask him for his payslips in addition to his statement of acct. Regarding evidence of home ties, it was a lil bit easier for me cos I am studying engineering in oil and gas, you know Nigeria has better opportunities than Australia when it comes to oil and gas. And again, I included my NYSC deferral letter to my app.

. If you are submitting through VFS, you must include the signed checklist from their website. You must write 535aud.. That's the visa charge.

Since you are not the one sponsoring yourself, I think it will be more convincing to state telegraphic transfers or as you said bank transfers.

pls I have some questions that would help me and some other pls here. 1, is church acceptable for sponsorship? 2, how much is suppose to be in sponsores account ? 3, do I need to have my OND and HND transcript as I want to do my PGD
