    Got my visa grant today. Thank you Lord!! Leaving next week... so busy na finalising everything. Thanks for the prayers!! :-*
    Congratulations

    "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.

    Hi guys.. Please help me.. Ano ba ibig sabihin if you received this kind of text message from PIASI. " We are pleased to inform you that your passport/documents have been dispatched to courier.". ???? Me and my husband just got an interview from australian embassy last feb 26 2014 and then I received that message today feb.28,2014... Nauna yung interview namin before magpamedical,.actually,we are not yet undergone medical process kasi merun ako menstrual flow ngayun..Posible ba na refused na kami agad kasi ibinabalik na nila yung documents namin?? by the way,I am applying for student visa under subclass 573 with my husband as dependant. Kindly enlighten with this please..nkakamatay na ang kaba.
    hi sis.. dependent ko rin si hubby subclass 573 kami under SVP. Di na kami ininterview.. Parang bihira lang may personal interview kapag student visa.. Bakit naman quinestion ang relalationship nyo.. when lang ba kayo nagpakasal?

    Some good news for prospective students visa applicants:

    "From 22 March 2014 streamlined student visa processing arrangements will be extended to certain eligible non-university higher education providers for bachelor, masters or doctoral degree level courses."

    http://www.immi.gov.au/business-services/education-providers/streamlined-visa-arrangements.htm

    More schools have been added to the list of education providers that are qualified for SVP.

    Avoid the hassle that is called Proof of Funds, go for SVP. :) but of course, making sure to have source to sufficient funds is mandatory, needless to say.

    Hi,

    May tanong po ako sa mga students dito na hindi nakatapos ng course nila sa Pinas. Nagpasa po ba kayo ng certificate of completion? Nagtataka lang kasi ako kasi hindi ako nakatapos ng course ko pero hinihingan ako ng certificate of completion.

    Salamat!
