    @Born thru email lang ata. pagsubmit ko ng requirements, two sets. originals and photocopies. tatatakan nila ng "certified true copy" yung photocopies mo. they will send back to you the originals then send the certified true copies to the school thru email. madali lang naman kung mabilis kang magcomply ng requirements. pagkakaalam ko, yung schools ang nagbabayad sa IDP to process applications kaya free ang services nila.

    Ah nice. Thank you for the information. Ganoon pala iyon. Kaya pala sa mga timeline ninyo ang bilis ng decision ng school for offer letter dahil through online ang transaction between agent and school.

    @TinerBebi 573 din pero streamlined visa processing (SVP) kaya walang show money. yup, kakaapply lang din kasi nung nacomply ko yung requirements ko, ininform ako ng agent ko na too early (around April) to apply pa daw since Feb 2014 pa naman intake ko. DIAC won't process early daw. hahaba lang waiting time ko. ok na rin, at least, naihabol ko iinclude husband ko sa application. when ang intake mo?

    "IF YOU ASK ANYTHING IN MY NAME, I WILL DO IT".

    John 14:14

    Loving Lord!The Scripture says that You are aware of all our needs, even before we ask You. So I come to You and place this request at Your loving hands.You know how desperate I am for getting the Visa. My soul has become weary and anxious over this delay in getting the visa .O Lord! Speak in the hearts of the concerned officials, grant me favour in their eyes and help me to get my visa on time so that my purpose is fulfilled. Perfect everything for me my Master. I wait at Your feet and trust in You to make this possible. I know that You will do it for You will never let Your children down. I thank You for listening to my plea! To You alone be all honour and glory. In the sweet name of Jesus I pray.Amen.

    @TinerBebi syanga pala, backread ka dito kasi madaming tips ka makukuha especially sa documentation ng proof of funds. sabi nila, you have to establish talaga na you have access to the funds of your sponsors. gawa ng affidavit or something ata. basta, you backread. importanteng detail yan kasi may narerefuse dahil dyan.
