@traveltart Thank you. Btw, same pala tayo. wanted to take up nursing kasi in demand but instead pursued a masters degree in line w/ my course para din maka full time work hubby ko and natakot din ako if masabit sa OC. 🙂
Honestly, kahit Dec- January pa, medyo aware ako na mahaba pa yung time. Kaso may dilemma ako sa sponsor for my visa requirements. My father-in-law will sponsor us kasi and he works abroad. umuwi siya last November 2-28. I had him sign na the affidavit of support and in order to show proof/evidence, we need copies of his bank statements. We would've requested earlier however yung validity lang ng copies is within 3 days sa pag lodge na ng visa (if Im not mistaken). So we couldn't get copies ahead and he was about to leave na. When we called the bank, they initially said na they wouldn't allow an authorization letter to release the statements to me. So we personally went to the bank and told them our dilemma and they allowed us, but the dates that were considered was only up until his November statements kasi we were really expecting na end Nov. mag lodge.
Kaya ako kulit ng kulit sa application ko sa IDP kasi October 23 pa ako nag submit, I was really hoping na by mid Nov. may offer letter na and by end of November makapag lodge na kami ng visa, but turned out on Nov 26, hindi pala na forward yung application namin so we waited for almost a month for nothing. 🙂
Handa na kasi payment for tuition, medicals, etc. 🙂 Offer letter nalang hinihintay namin to pay and get a COE.
This time, positivity and prayers na lang nag push sa amin. Hoping na the bank manager might be able to extend our request in case mid-end December na kami makapag lodge. Or we hope sana by next week na lahat para in case hindi pa lumabas yung Dec. statements nya, wala na kami problema sa bank statements sana. 🙂
This forum really helped us especially yung mga answers and feedbacks ninyo lahat. So thank you talaga!
I just wanted to share my experience din sa iba para kapag may nakaka experience ng similar situation ko. Alam din nila anong pwedeng gawin 🙂
God bless us all!
