    Hello guys! According po sa agent ko kapag mabilis yung grant possible na dahil yung university po is included sa Assessment Level 1. We celebrate with you po sa mga na grant na. For those who are still waiting like me tiwala lang po tayo kay God. I believe na yung timing Niya is perfect. :)

    @aranayad hoping the same for everyone :) John was my agent, but mostly si Karizcian nag assist with questions.

    @sapphires_18 more than a year yung sa prinesent namin :)

    @ellaine oo, super salamat kay God hehe. :) AMS is super efficient with stuff, I don't think my visa would have been granted that quickly if it weren't for them to be honest haha. Sabi nga nung agent ko may autogrant daw, I didn't believe it at first but kinabukasan it said hello hahahaha. Praying for the same for you! Did you lodge na?

    Hi guys. Help please. I think I lost my passport and I’m scheduled to take my PTE exam this February and my student visa’s expiring this March. I have to take the exam to be able to lodge my Grad Visa. Anyone knows if the Consulate does expedite passport replacement? Kasi the last year when I renewed, mga 1.5 months sya and I never asked if may option to rush it. :(

    I think the best thing to do is to give the Consulate a quick call first thing tomorrow morning to ask them directly about expedited passport processing.

    Worst case scenario, you may have to reschedule your PTE exam and apply for a tourist visa first to replace your expiring student visa so you can stay in Australia while waiting for your passport.

    Good luck!

    @jbhgrc you shouldve done medical before visa. You can already undergo medical exam without embasys instructions. I did my medical 1 month before submitting ny visa. If female, cannot do 1 week after the last mens.
