lawland: Whats the difference between the two?

statement of result no carry date of birth, but no probs just like Chubi4show said, i will use d certificate and also attach an affividavit.
Lawland, i graduated in 2010, served between july 2011 and june 2012 and after dat, i'v not been working till date as i was job hunting before d aussie plan. the thing is, should i include my nysc discharge certificate as part of my visa documents to show wat i was doing between dat time and if i should include it, do u tink it is safe not to use an employment document between dat june last year and now. Secondly, what should i use as ties to return home after studies?

Hello house i did the character police report here in ibadan and it has CID, alagbon stamp and inspector general signed to it but someone told me i should have done it @ alagbon in lagos. Will the australian embassy accept the one i did in ibadan though it was taken to lagos by the inspector @ the state HQ in ibadan according to what he told me and got it 5days later. Pls help a broda out so that i wont submit it or i should go to lagos and get it done @ alagbon itself. Thanks y'all

Employment docs can complicate issues especially when its not concrete. If you ask me, i will give you my sincere opnion which is this: write a statement of purpose stating your education history, tell them the period you did your NYSC, explain to them that you have been seeking employment since you graduated but none came so you decided to acquire more certificate but this time an international cert so as to boost your CV, detail the kind of job you will seek in Nigeria. Don't ever give away any indication you have plan towards pr.

Why won't they accept? As far as it is a standard police report, they will definitely accept it.

Tanx 4 ur contribution i really appreciate ur input in ds dscussion. my admission for dip is january 2015 so i cn possibly see hw to go abt it b4 den ll appreciate any further advise on ds as we proceed bt ll really wnt her to join as soon as possibly if i scale tru d hurdles. my e-mail victac4@yahoo.com

Since your plan is towards 2015, why not start arranging the evidence from now like opening a joint bank account with her and paying some utility bills in both names?

kmontee:

Thank you bro!!! will attach affivdavit to it. Already I use affividavit of birth certificate for my application since i cant trace back to my birth certificate. The problem is, i read on the checklist that im supposed to use the original of the affividavit rather than certified copy. Any info about this or further explanation. Have u applied for Hap id? did u later conclude to do d medicals before lodgement??

Thatz no problem @al, u can request for two originals after ur explanation, its just am matter of duplicating one and stamping... I have two original stamped affidevits... as for my Hap id, I v decided 2 wait until I'm askd 2 provide my medical.

UR ALWAYZ ON POINT CHAIRMAN

My advice to everyone is don't submit what you are not asked,work with your checklist,@Kmontee, why do you need ssce cert. When you are going for masters,police clearance is not part of visa requirements for student visa unless requested by the department

That shouldn't be a problem provided it was done in a CID dept in Nigeria, signed and stamped by an inspector. D only difference btw doing it in alagbon and any oda CID dept is dt it takes abt 2hrs or less to proces in alagbon while it takes days in oda states cos its usualy sent 2 a CID headquarter in lag or abj for endorsement....

My guy, the errand of waiting till you are asked is almost gone especially if you are applying in student peak that's if you want your application to be fast tracked. As far as you are bent on traveling to Australia, its no waste of money to do medicals cos even if you are refused visa, you can reapply with same medicals cos its valid for 12months. Thats the essence of emedicals. This is my personal opnion though

Even as a prospective master student applying for a student visa, he is required 2 submit photocopies of all his educational qualification (waec, transcript or degree cert etc) to DIAC for assesment. I agree wit u, police clearance isn't required for student visa unles u r askd by DIAC 2 provide it.

Ok

I don't think so... DIAC ask for your qualifications only to make sure you meet the requirement of obtaining the admission the school gave you. I strongly believe they are only interested in the academic documents you used in securing admission.

Thanks for ur advice bro. My decision on dis wil depend on wen I wil lodge. My start date is by 24th feb 2014. If I lodge by ending of dis mnth or 1st wk of november, then I wil consider doing d medical @once but if I lodge b4 den, I wil wait 2 b contactd b4 doing it.
I'v prepared all d required documents 4 visa application jst waitn 4 d money in my sponsor's account 2 mature.

As for ur 2nd question abt ties 2 ur home country, I can only give u a clue using family tie. If for example u come from a royal family, u can state clearly that you are an heir or a sucessor to the throne (backing up ur claim wit evidence) as such u wil return after ur program 2 lead ur people according 2 ur custom and tradition... Do u get d picture now?

Guy GTE is not a big deal for Nigerians. Even though they don't take parental consent as anything if the applicant is above 18, i believe it will go a long way to help if combined with your sponsor's statement.

lawland: Your example is very funny.

lol...jst a clue I said.

lawland: Why won't they accept? As far as it is a standard police report, they will definitely accept it.

thanks bro and God bless you cos i've been very confused when someone told me i should have done it @ alagbon

By GTE am sure u mean genuine temporary entrant? R u tryin 2 say the issue of attachment of ties to return home won't really b an obstacle in d issue of visa to Nigerians or wat? Cos I hav bin tinkin and tinkin of wt to attach as links or incentive to return home after my studies in auss,as I jst finished y Nysc witout any job @ d moment or anytin linkin mi bak home.

I am not saying you don't have to demonstrate it at all, but Nigerians don't need to provide extensive docs to demonstrate it, our CO mostly decide from our application language unlike other unstable countries.. This is a typical refusal due to GTE: I have given regard to whether there is any other matter relevant to the assessment of your
genuine intentions to temporarily stay in Australia. It is well documented that Pakistan has
suffered political and civil unrest over manyyears, and that the situation remains
unpredictable. Departmental information shows that it is not uncommon for Pakistani
nationals to overstay their visa or apply for protection following their arrival in Australia.
When I consider this in conjunction with other aspects set out in this Decision Record, I
cannot be satisfied that the applicant intends a temporary stay in Australia.
I have considered all the information provided with your visa application. However, given the
poor security situation in Pakistan and the comparatively greater economic opportunities in
Australia, I have serious concerns regarding your economic and security circumstances. I find
that I cannot be satisfied that, given your circumstances, that you intend a genuine temporary
stay in Australia.
