Gusto ko lng po i share sainyo itong nabasa ko from other forum about visa refusal recently:

Below is the reason of the refusal :

I note that the applicant's highest qualification is first year college BS in Computer Science

with an employment background as a sales person and now a business owner who intends to

undertake a business, marketing, and management course at Australian Pacific College. In

relation to this point, 1 note that a similar quality course/study path is available in the

Philippines for a lower cost. When asked why study the course in AustraJia, the applicant

responded in Filipino stating "my sister (referring to her cousin) wants me to experience the

life in Australia". According to the applicant, studying in Australia would allow her to

interact with different people and learn from them. She also said that to study in Australia is

an opportunity that one could not pass. Whilst I accept and have placed weight on the fact the

applicant may wish to study in AustraJia for the ' opportunity', I cannot be satisfied only with

this statement considering her individual circumstances in the Philippines as well as the cost

and length of planned studies associated with obtaining a Certificate in Business and

Marketing and a Diploma of Management in Australia.

I have considered whether this course is likely to increase the applicant's remuneration level

or career prospects in he r country on her return from study. As she has stated, her intention is

to study a Certificate III in Business, Certificate IV in Marketing, and Diploma of

Management with the aim of uJtimately expanding her current business. She also intends to

pursue further studies should a need for it arises. Accordingly, I am not satisfied that the

propos ed course of s tudy will have a significant benefit to her future; the possible benefits of

this are loosely tied with her future plans considering that she has no concrete details about

he r plans in using the skills that she will obtain from this particular course of study except

that, in general terms, she would like to pursue further studies or establish a business. I am

unable to reconcile this action considering the cost and length of planned studies with

obtaining an education qualification in Australia which seems unlikely to increase the visa

applicant's remuneration level or career prospects in the Philippines on her return from study.

As discussed, I find that the applicant intends to study in an umelated field to their previous

studies and employment. I am therefore not satisfied that the applicant's circumstances

support a genuine intention to temporarily stay in Australia.

I have considered whether the applicant's immigration history is relevant to the assessment of

your genuine intentions to temporarily stay in Australia and found that the applicant's recent

employment was as sales/cashier personnel in Dubai, United Arab Emirates from May 2011

to February 2012. Taking into account the applicant's current circumstances in the Philippines

of having no stable employment and the fact that the applicant has a recent history of working

as an OFW, I am therefore not satisfied that the applicant genuinely intends to stay

temporarily in Australia.
