Bro, di ata pwede gumamit ng 2 credit card not unless you can ask them to manually key in your CC details for you... I suggest you ask your credit card to give you a temporary increase in credit limit - call them and tell them your needs. They may heed to your request provided you will pay in advance your additional credit limit.
Just talk to them!
Congrats bro!!

If your application is in Priority Group 3, or was lodged within one month of the dates listed in the Allocation table above for Priority Groups 4 or 5, you can proceed with health and character clearances before your application is allocated. Undertaking health and character clearances at this pre-allocation stage may expedite a decision on your visa application. However, applicants should not proceed with health and character clearances where a '*' is listed in the Allocation table.
Ibig sabihin ba nito pwede nang mag frontload ng Health evidence at PCC's ang mga nag apply ng visa 190 at huwag nang hintayin na sabihan ng CO?
Baka ito rin ang dahilan ng pagpapadala ng Health Examination List ng GSM Support Officer right after ng lodgement ng visa. Any comments on this one please? Thanks

Fear is inevitable - no one would want their dream to fail diba? so I believe it is quiet normal...
Meanwhile, I would suggest you start with other pending requirements (whatever are those) to keep your mind busy. No IELTS yet I assume? Review ka na lang big time and aim for the maximum 20pts (above 8 in all bands) - that way, you will be a step ahead from the rest when the time comes for you to lodge your EOI.

And the rest, as they say, is current events.
Basta ready ka dapat emotionally and financially. There's no turning back once makapasa ka sa either IELTS or assessment.
