Hopes and ambition,  Smoke and mirror and rubble, dust and live wire.

Hi all welcome back to my monthly blogging. This one is actually synopsis of my journal during my recent visit to Nepal.

Good  looking office with model receptionist is not enough to get you Australian Visa- Not to my surprise, few of the consultancies have invested heavily on their cosmetic and hire beautiful bird to whom many teenager would simply lose their soul and return home with one more hope and many more confusion.

Convince or confused- Some of the mid tier consultancy are standing by the motto of either convince or confuse students. It was more obvious than the dust in Dillibazar that if the student did not take their bait, so called counselor would do his/her best to confuse that student.

Journey to Australia- is not an official source of information or is it?  For many aspiring students applying Australia or students residing in Australia, Journey to Australia has been go to forum to seek their queries. Surprisingly the administrator is not shy to answer all questions and must of the time he/she is right. However students need to know it is not an official news update forum from the department and student should consult and rely on information from only a registered migration agent.

Ownership of decision- It is no secret that the industry is riddle with shonkey operators and students must know the counselor and consultancy very well. Student should be asking the counselor about their qualifications, registration and license. I advise student to ask counselor or consultancy to provide names of couple of their students and contact student for references. Student ought to do their through research instead of far cry once they reach Australia.

Hopes and ambitions of many students are realized and blown up in the smoke and mirror of the consultancy and lost in rubble dust and live wire.
