    Magulo talaga DIBP kahit mga immigration lawyers naiinis sa kanila

    "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.

    @zia it depends on the policy of the university. Samin kasi, need to complete the 6 months of study first then pede lumipat ng uni. Just make sure you tell DIAC about it. Not sure what are the steps or process you need to do. Cheers.

    @zia .....another point of consideration ng school is your reason from transferring to another institution....if they are not convinced of your reason then they would not allow you... That's their prerogative....

    @gie24 Most of the time, ako nag eemail sa DIAC to know the status. Scripted email parati na re-receive ko. Pero they will just email you when they received your medicals and when the final decision has been made. Keep praying. :)
