Commit to the Lord everything you do. Then your plans will succeed. Proverbs 16:3 (NIRV)
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.

first, dependent visa - ako lang naiwan (denied) kasi di na daw ako dependent. bale, mother & sister ko lang nakuha.
2nd application, child dependent ata un, pero withdraw application, kasi may questions sa age. 25 y/o ako nun.
3rd application, student - dependent (yung nag-aaral after graduate, kukunin ng parents),withdrawn din kasi sa questions sa papers.
4th application - tourist - refused but pwedeng mag file ng appeal. di na kami nag file ng appeal as advised ng agent.no interview done. reason: sa tingin daw nila, hindi ako mag temporary stay, like other filipinos doing right now, na gumagawa ng way from tourist to work.
kaya eto, mag student n lang daw ako. sa mga nag student dito sa forum, anong advise pwede niong ibigay sakin frustrated ako, pero parang nasasanay na. hahaha ( )
