Patulong naman po about sa financial documents. Yung sponsor ko po ay tita ko at may 2M na po sya sa bank. kaso lang ngretire na sya from work 8 years ago. pero kailangan daw may current source of income yung sponsor. kaso lang yung income ng tita ko galing sa paupahan nya na walang business permit. kaya hirap po kami patunayan n my source of income sya. any advice po kung ano pwede namin gawin? yun na lang po hinihintay ng school.

@janinajastin Latest update on student visa processing time is 21-45 days (counting from the time they received the full application + health exam results, I think). You can start filling up the application form para yung kulang nalang yung i-uupdate mo (like eCoE). See here for the list of information I had to prepare for the student visa application. Pwede mo naman i-save yung application mo tapos balikan nlng mamaya.
From the time you submit your application kasi, irereview ng DIBP yung application mo, then they'll email you to request for additional requirements (usually health exam). Yung sa friend ko nagwalk-in sya sa St. Luke's BGC, then got the results in less than a week (but I suggest you allot 1-2 weeks allowance for health exams to come out). Once ma-clear yung health exam mo, dun mo bibilangin yung processing time na 21-45 days.
So ideally you have at least 8 weeks (from lodging, then health exam, then visa processing) to spare. Recommended time to apply for visa is 3 months before the start of your classes, but if you can apply earlier than that, mas ok para di ka kabahan sa timeframe.

@Ajit22 You mean the time between application and receiving offer letter? I applied around November 2016 for March 2018 intake, it took about 12 days in my case (unconditional offer). Since medyo alanganin yung finances/funding ko, nagdefer ako to July 2018, and I received a new offer letter nung May 2017.
