    @teamevangelista hi po..as per my MA its not a good idea to ask and follow up our visa application while still within the 3months standard service leadtime.
    I feel you din sa inip and mixed emotions while waiting po..but lets wait for the time being and that visa will be ours in Gods perfect time [-O<
    I worry that I might annoy my CO if i followed up within the service standard po.

    Awww... wow... Medyo na-tear naman ako sa message mo. :) Amen.

    Share ko din para sa lahat ng nag-aantay --
    "Dear ________,

    Every delay can be a God-ordained moment of aligning you to My timing.

    Relax, God

    P.S. Trust my timing."


    Para talaga akong kinausap ni God kasi nakuha ko toh a day after nalungkot talaga ako sa frustration dahil sa naCO contact ako ng wala naman akong kulang.

    Reminder na din toh for everyone na God has plans for us and maybe He just slightly delays us to possibly align us with better opportunities. :D Mahirap pero magtiwala na lang tayo na darating din naman yung grant na inaasam natin - darating nga lang sa tamang panahon.

    Question, those with MA, your agency allows you to contact the embassy directly? Sa Amin kasi bawal. It's in the contract na the embassy and us can't talk. Hirap talaga mag antay. Buti may forum na ganito. May outlet maski paano :)
