Good evening Nairalanders Happy new month to everyone my name is Abiola and I have been a member of nairaland since 2013. Infact , nairaland helped me to secure UAE visa without hassle and I wanna say a big thank you.
Now, I am back from UAE and in Nigeria . I applied to a college in Sydney and I was given admission. I have paid my tuition and OSHC and I have my eCoE. But , there is something that I am so confused about .
My Uncle is sponsoring me but he is not using his personal account , but he's using his coperative account . So, I would like to ask everyone with experience about coperative account , what would he state or write in the letter of sponsorship to be willing to sponsor me with the coperative account ?
Secondly, my uncle is using his friend's fixed deposit account as co-sponsor . Please, I'm applying for VET 572 visa and my intake is Feb 02, I have all the documents ready but I want to know what to write as a reason for the coperative to be sponsoring me or the relationship I have with them.
I'm open to all advices , please
Best regards

Hi,
Thank you so much for the quick response . I'm so grateful. And Yes my school is part of SVP but no, my intended course is not part of SVP. So, I am going to be accessed on assessment level 3.
I quite comprehend everything you said but it seems you didn't get my question right . I will rephrase it . Now, the question is , I'm using a coperative union bank statement and my uncle is the president . In the letter of sponsor , what reason can I state inside that , makes me connected with the coperative and why they wan to sponsor me ? That's the question I need answer for . Like , if there are cases like that where someone used coperative union account

I used a date 2weeks ahead of resumption for entry date and for exit date I picked a date 1 month after school ends.

Based on the above, I don't think the dates you pick matter, as long as they are within the allowed 'length of student visa' period that applies to you based on your program start and end dates.

Please see below. It's a screenshot of page 4 of the form 157A (the beginning part where you have instructions and information). Please read that part before you fill your form!

***The dates you pick wont affect your visa anyway. I understand you can enter anytime between the grant of your visa and the start of your course as long as it's not more than 3 or 4 months before school starts.(Although, you are not allowed to work until school starts).

***For exit, your visa end date will still be granted based on what applies to you as shown below, which will tally with your OSHC too.

#HopeThisHelps

hello mr 2posh, NNBB2012, bossladymo1, please i will humbly need your input on this...am a graduate of geology and have ever since i graduated from the university been searching and scratching for any relevant information that will lead to my permanent migration to australia. i have gone through the (SOL) but unfortunatly my occupation is not listed, but it is listed on the (CSOL). Now problem is, i have alot of confusion with (CSOL) as i dont precisely know if it is state norminated or employer nominated, if it is either of the two, or even both, how then will one get the state or an employer to sponsor him or her. Do you just apply for a job in australia and seek that the employer sponser your visa?......please i crave your soothing comments and inputs on this.

NNBB2012:


I know Geologist is on the CSOL list, which means you can either be sponsored by a state,regional area,employer or family. The first thing however is to determine if your occupation cum your qualification will receive positive assessment. How many years did you spend in the University? If you did a 4-year degree, you won't get positive assessment from VETASSES because they equate Nigerian 4-year degree to Australian 3years Associate Degree which is less than the minimum requirement for Geology here.. However, if you did a 5-year degree, then you will get positive assessment.

bellong:


He can get a positive assessment depending on where he studied his geology. OAU is a four year geology degree and I got a positive assessment.

I think they have some selected universities that they treat their four year degree to be equivalent to an Australian bachelor degree.

Hello 2Posh and everyone else , in the form 157A ,Question 46? How will you access your funds in Australia ?
Please, what's the answer ?
Thanks

2posh:

OP.

Pray tell, why is your School on SVP and your course is not?

NNBB2012:


That's great news! Did you also add additional qualification or just your 1st Degree? I know of someone that did Geology from Uni Benin that got negative assessment etc.

chi50:

His school being svp is not a guarantee that he's eligible 4 svp. his course must be a bachelor's or a higher degree like masters n PhD to qualify. he/she is going for vet course which is not svp. my concern is d timing. he needs to sort out his finances as soon as possible because of the 3months Al3 thingy. I second ur suggestion abt taking d loan n depositing it But that's also late now because the deposit must be 4 atleast 3 months. So add that to d visa waiting time and you'll get my point.
I honestly wish I had a better straight forward advice 4 him, But I dnt.
It's time 4 our gurus in d house to help him. @lawland, futuredon, etc.

2posh:


Well, how are you planning to access the funds when you are in Australia? Start with a truthful answer to the question as the core information before you embellish it if you must.

Is it a Scholarship? How do they plan to award it - will they be paying your Tuition by themselves or they'll give you the money? Can you provide evidence/details of the Scholarship?(why they are awarding it, why you were picked, amount involved etc). What about living expenses? Who/what covers that part and how? - another evidence.
*You should probably be careful with how you mention your Uncle as the President. That should not be the major relationship/connection you have with the co-operative you portray(my opinion), before they think your Uncle is embezzling funds or tipped the Scholarship scale in your favour or something. #JustSaying

Is it a loan? You'll probably need to show that you've acquired the loan already(please read the Teleperformance checklist I called your attention to before). You may want to have your Uncle take the loan out (if you are going the loan route) and deposit it in his personal account or your account and explain that in the letter and/or SOP.

Pray tell, why is your School on SVP and your course is not?

Great Ife! Awa ti white house! I hail o. Were you ever tutored by Prof Olorunniwo ?

bellong:


Greaaaaaaaaaat!!!!!!!

No Olorunniwo didn't teach me. He came when I left. So he is now a Professor? Good to hear.

At the risk of derailing the thread, Olorunniwo M. (Geophysics) taught in his dept aince inception. That's more than 30 years ago. (except you are 50+ )
Probably u were referring to the period he was away on extended leave. He's my grand uncle by the way (if there's any such thing). All the best bro.

Good afternoon fellow contributors, please what is the fastest way to check if a school or programme is under SVP? I have applied to Uni of Queensland for Masters in Public Health Program (SVP - 1.5years), and I'm considering another application to another school for the same course in order to boost admission chances. I want a programme of 1.5 (or 2 years preferably), and the school has to be under SVP. Anyone who has such schools that meet my criteria can help me post them biko. Deakin's MPH degree is 2 years, but I'm not sure if they are under SVP. Thank you again and again!

2posh:


Google dear, Google.

Anyhoo, follow this link...

https://www.border.gov.au/Trav/Visa-1/573-/Higher-Education-Sector-visa-(subclass-573)-streamlined-visa-processing

(it will take you to the SVP page on the DIBP website) On that page, click the 'eligibility' tab then click on the 'students' tab and read up. There you'll see a hyperlink that will take you to the list of participating schools. Below is the link as well...

https://www.comlaw.gov.au/Details/F2015L01275


***By the way, if you are expecting your education in Australia to count towards PR points, you DEFINITELY need at least 2 years of study. Hence, the 1.5 of UQ won't cut it.

Hope this helps.

bhanjjie:
Thanks brother. I was just on "Google" when i read your response. I have found few schools, I am currently reviewing their costs - pocket also matters you know :-). I understand I need at least two years of study. I intend taking a certificate programme that will last for one term (6 months) upon completion of the masters programme. Thank you brother! I appreciate you.

2posh:


You're welcome. I'm not a 'bro'

bhanjjie:
lolllllllllll!!!!:-D I have all I need from the page you sent in - thanks again! Funny enough, i visited the page once, but didnt scroll down *covers face*. Deakin may be my best option. Do you know how much deposit will be required for eCoE? Uni Queensland is just 8k, which makes sense. Thanks again!!!
