    @trinketz_07 Yeah, I was also thinking of that. But I don't have any relatives there. Can I ask my partners aunt to do that? Just for formality lang nman. My partner will be having a scholarship there so I guess it will be easier. Any comments on this? Salamat :D

    @trinketz_07 i see. Eh di Pray, hope and Dont worry sabi ni St. Pio.

    "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 don't risk listening to your agent na ok lang na ganun. be on the safe side always. mahirap na, baka bigla kang hingan ng additional docs ng DIAC, wala kang maibigay. time-bound pa naman usually ang pagcomply.

    The longer you have to wait for something, the more you will appreciate it when it finally arrives. The harder you have to fight for something, the more priceless it will become when you achieve it. And the more pain you have to endure on your journey, the sweeter the arrival at your destination. All good things are worth waiting for, and worth fighting for.

    In case hindi pa aware yung iba.. You can actually have your medical exams already even if you haven't lodged your visa application yet. You can just download a referral letter here: https://www.ecom.immi.gov.au/elp/app?formId=FEL Yan ang ginawa namin ng husband ko and as you can see in my timeline, our application only took a little more than a week para maapprove. :)
