Hello good evening gurus in the house please I applied for Monash university and I am about to pay for application fee.

I don’t want to use agent please how can I go ahead and pay the app fee because my Nigeria bank isn’t working

Sasha27:


Is there a particular reason you do not wanna use an agent
My personal advice : At least use an agent to secure admission and if you don’t want the agent to file for your visa, you do the visa processing yourself.
This agents are there for a reason, to make sure you do not make errors (The ones that know what they are doing) besides most Australian schools require an agent to submit an application on your behalf.
You paying application fee for something that’s nt guaranteed, when an agent can give you multiple school options and guide you through the application process and there are schools that you don’t need to pay application fee.
“Anything worth doing it’s worth doing well to avoid had I known”

080mamaayi:
Pls, how much do they agents normally charge?
Secondly, after paying agent fee, does the person also need to pay application fee?

Good morning house,

Please I want to ask the following questions

1. Considering the 40hr/week work time, what is the pay range/Hr job one could get as a student? Can a student get a job paying 60Aud/Hr?
It is achievable but one needs some certifications and experiences to get that amount per hour

2. If someone pays 50% tuition before leaving Nigeria, can someone pay the remaining 50% tuition while working for three months which makes a semester? Considering the 40hrs/week allowance. Or can work exceed the 40hrs/week?
At the moment, the limited working hour is on hold till July, I think so. Also, it's achievable like number one

3. Lastly, is it automatic to get 3years of post graduate work permit after a 2years master program.

Agents are to guide you but you have to provide the documents that they are to work with.

Anyone you can't provide, ask them to put you through on how to get it.

On that CV Gap thing, you can fill it up with work. Let me give you an expo on filling that, fill it with a role from a small imaginary company with verifiable contacts.

Blessedberry:
Hi everyone, please for those that have gotten their Visa, how long did it take and secondly my status has been on initial assessment for over a month now and I'm getting really worried. Please how long does it take to change from initial assessment to further assessment? Or is it possible to get a decision right from the initial assessment? Please kindly share your experiences on this, thanks.

chibulati:

Blessedberry:

chibulati:

My visa has been granted today.
I submitted visa application on June 23rd
Torrens University
Self Sponsored
Visa was granted today Sep. 2nd
No calls or emails from AHC
I had 2 USA Visa refusals and I declared that in my application.
I submitted no fake documents whatsoever neither did I lie about anything..

I only observed that they emailed one of the issuers of the Letter of Recommendation I submitted to confirm the authenticity of the letter. I knew this because the person that issued the letter called me before replying AHC. Not more than one hour after they received confirmation email from him.. My visa was granted.

Let this be an inspiration to someone else.
