Hey Everyone! Admin here, It's a bit overdue but I will be migrating our forum site to a new platform for better security. I will take out all the ads as well as these pesky spammers. Please expect a bit of issues here and there, and will slowly move the features to the new one. Don't worry we are very much alive and will be alive as long as I'm here :)

VISA GRANTED FIRST ATTEMPT.. SOURCE OF FUNDS IS NOT IN THE LIST.

in Study and Training Visa
I am Filipina working as Caregiver in Singapore. Lodged visa application in Singapore.
Sharing my timeline and experience just in case someone will be in the same situation..

Applied School :- SGSCC International Janali NSW
Course: Aged Care Cert. 3


07 June 2014 -- Overall Band Score 6.0 in IELTS General
15 October 2014 -- Lodged Visa application in VFS Singapore
24 October 2014 -- Got email from Case officer for Visa interview on 28 October 2014.
28 October 2014 -- Interview with Case officer in Australian Embassy, Singapore


Interview Questions on 28 October

Case officer is not satisfied with my source of funds. So this is how I explained.

I declared that my boyfriend is the one who transferred the money in my account. My family is not capable of producing such huge amount. my boyfriend and I are in relationship for almost 4 years and he is the one who supported my studies also in the Philippines. We cannot declare that we are in defacto relationship because we never live in one roof nor have those joint acct and bills. But we had some holidays together like visiting other countries.
During the interview itself I have shown to the case officer all the remittance receipt of my boyfriend like western union and bank receipts as a proof that he is supporting me when i was in the Phil.
The case officer still not satisfy so again she asked me to e mail some pictures during our holidays.
I sent it to her right after the interview...
CASE OFFICER DIDN'T BOTHERED TO ASK ABOUT MY SCHOOLS OR EXPERIENCES.. ITS ALL ABOUT MY BOYFRIEND AND OUR RELATIONSHIP.. IT IS LIKE FIANCE VISA APPLICATION.

4 November 2014 -- Email from Case officer to go for medical examinations

7 November 2014 -- Went for Medical Examinations in Singapore

14 November 2014 -- Visa Granted!! through e mail..



IT WAS GRANTED... THOUGH BOYFRIEND IS NOT IN THE LIST TO BE THE SOURCE OF FUNDS..
JUST BE HONEST...

KEEP THE FAITH AND PRAY HARD..

TO GOD BE THE GLORY..
MAY HE GUIDE US ALL THE WAY...

    @Xine Philippine passport and Subclass 572.. assessment is based on nationality or sa passport u have and which subclass u are applying not by the country where u will lodge your application.. VFS Singapore and and my CO told me clearly.. it's assessment level 3 that's why they give the result after 4 weeks... I asked them about it :)

    The only difference is.. here they have maximum days na sasabihin kung ilang days bago mo makuha ung result... I am amazed they told me result will be maximum 30 days bec it is aasessment level 3.. and yes They give me the result after 30 days :)

    @Xine ako ang sinagot ko diyan, In the Philippines a lot of institutions, colleges and even some universities are offering vocational courses. And caregiving/healthcare servicing is very indemand, therefore Philippines is in need of teachers/ mentors of vocational courses, and once I gained my certificate in aged care in Au I have all the confident that I can apply and teach what I have learned..
    Taking good care of aged people is my passion but it will be really great if I can able to teach others also the ways of taking good care of them..

    Hehehe ganyan ung sinagot ko eh.. Im not sure kung nakatulong..

    ye un nga din ang naisip ko na isagot clinical instructors here kasi kailangan mas malaking sahod sa current work ko kung hospital based kasi eh mas liliit ang sahod ko compare sa sahod ko as private nurse ty btw :)
