    @miss_ivy_g sorry kung off topic, but how did your application went sa fortrust? I'm thinking of changing consultant na kasi. Yung consultant ko ksi kung di ko eemail or itetext di nila ako iuupdate or kung may need pa ba ko gawin. malalaman ko n lng na may dpt pa pla ako gawin pag ako na tumawag at nag email s knla. I went to one of Fortrust seminar before.

    Hi @mdlsntmria ok nmn sa fortrust mababait naman sila dun and very accomodating. tinulungan naman nila ko macomplete yung docs ko. di ko lang masabi kung mataas yung grant rate nila kasi mas matunog sa mga forum yung idp eh tska more than a month na ko naghihintay ng results. try mo na rin magpaconsult, near greenbelt ang office nila along arnaiz ave. :D

    May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit. Romans 15:13
    But when you ask, you must believe and not doubt, because the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind. James 1:6 I believe that it will just come so soon. God is good all the time! God has wonderful plans for all of us! Let's keep the Faith!

    Hello All,

    Good day!

    I just want to ask for your expert opinion about the application of dependent for student visa.

    My cousin has an approved student visa (Subclass 572) and got married to his tourist girlfriend here in Sydney recently. So, they are planning to add his wife as a dependent.

    Their agent suggested them to wait for her new PH passport with the wife's name change, but, it will take about six months.

    Now, for our concern, can the wife apply for a dependent visa using her maiden name, so she can go here immediately? I believe they have an australian marriage certificate and they plan to use it as proof.

    Has anybody had the same experience/condition?

    Thank you very much in advance!

    hi @teachjenny! BS Entrepreneurship yung bachelor degree ko then nagtake ako ng CPE kaya nakapagboard exams ako. Licensed teacher na ko pero not practicing professionally. (apparel designer ako, oh di ba anlayo?! hehe) Nagvovolunteer ako sa church namin as teacher so yun lng ang proof of experience na sinama ko sa documents.
    Sa tingin ko related nmn ang Psych sa ECE. May school ka na ba na papasukan?
    Good luck! :)
