“Now Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen” By faith, I decided to apply for postgraduate studies in Australia. By faith, I turned down a good job offer in January, 2016, on the basis that I was awaiting my visa grant for studies. By faith, I initiated contacts with IOM for flight bookings on January 30th. By faith, I received the necessary forms from IOM on Feb 1st, and replied that I would complete and return to them soon. And by faith, my 573 Visa was approved! Please see timelines below: Front-loaded medicals on December 16 at Zankli Medical Centre, Abuja. Lodged application at Teleperformance on December 21st. Application lodged at Pretoria on December 30th Visa grant on February 3rd. I never heard from Teleperformance or Pretoria till today. I used PFL. I didn’t fill in any details relating to current or future employment. No Statement of Account. No sponsorship letter. For guys intending to apply for visas soon; please do not joke with your SOP. In fact, I recommend that you start writing it once you receive your admission letter. It is something you should not rush at all. I want to specially thank you guys for your inputs! You guys rock!!! For those expecting their grants, I wish you good luck; keep your hopes alive! For those that were denied visa, please give it another shot! Remember that winners never quit and quitters never win. I wish you guys the best! One love! Make I fill and return that IOM form “sharpally”. Brisbane loading. . . 15 Likes |

I am the most frustrated guy on the planet, after waiting so long all the case officer can do is ask for transcript that I am sure I included in my application. They asked and even after submitting just barely 24 hours after I am still waiting till now 9 days has gone and nothing heard and 22nd Feb is fast approaching. Pissed off |

Hello all. This is my 9 month update. We left Naija on the 30th of April 2015 via dubai courtesy IOM and arrived Melbourne on the 2nd of May 2015. We met Mayofikky another nairalander and her Family at the Airport. They were enroute Adelaide. Got called for an Interview for a job I applied for while still in Naija on day 5. Two interviews and lots of phone calls to Naija for reference check, was told i was successful on day 10. Started working on day 16th. Registered Son for Kinder . Meanwhile we went for a regional job fair on day two . We also did our centrelink and bank paperworks. Salary is paid forthrightly for most people. We started house hunting towards the end of the month as agent needed reference from work and payslip as part of paperwork for character reference for house. We even got additional letter from our pastor. The fact that you have your money doesn't influence your getting a house.It your credit history and character reference that is key. We moved from our friend's house who hosted us to a house a month after arrival.We were considered lucky as our host did not get a house for 6 months due to inability to quickly get a job. Hubby started his masters at Unimelb in the 3rd month, so both kids being under 5 , started full-time daycare i.e $400 per week after govt rebate. Luckily he got a job a job in a near entry role in his field after 4 months.Half bread is better than none. We reviewed our finances and my commute time and family life balance. We decided I should start applying for part time jobs. Luckily I applied and got a job for which over 2500 people applied. I was oneof the lucky 90 employed. Less commute, half of the working hours of my previous job and same pay. It was a divine provision. Lessons :God's grace and favor is key. You also need to be computer savvy. You are going to use the computer for everything including knowing where to get bus, train, food ,apply for job, benefits even house. Police here are armed to the teeth, no sme sme. Passing your driver test is more stressful than waiting for visa grant mail. Australian meals are delicious, be prepared to change your palate. Centrelink are slow to give but very swift to retrieve.

You are Welcome. You have to be patient with these ppl, they are very busy and you should not let your efforts to be frustrated. Most ppl here who have slept in the same bed with Pretoria will tell you that it's not a nice bed to sleep. Your case is even better. If you hear my own Story, you will see that yours is better, these ppl will even not answer you no matter how many emails you send. Anyways, I can assure you that your grant will be on your email by mid this Month after they finish verifying your University documents. Good Luck! Franzeez: |
Re: General Australian student Visa Enquiries Part 2 by Stanleych007: 11:28am On Feb 04, 2016 |
Franzeez:I would rather you ignore them, sending them disturbing mails might incure their anger, jst free them, weneva your visa comes u go. Dont act desperate. |
