"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.

Based sa experience namin under SVP kami, pwede naman kahit di Australian citizen ang sponsor like what we did, kahit friend pa nga yata as long as di ka under level 3 assessment kasi mahigpit talaga pag level 3. Thank God at approved naman ang student visa namin.

Honestly, kahit Dec- January pa, medyo aware ako na mahaba pa yung time. Kaso may dilemma ako sa sponsor for my visa requirements. My father-in-law will sponsor us kasi and he works abroad. umuwi siya last November 2-28. I had him sign na the affidavit of support and in order to show proof/evidence, we need copies of his bank statements. We would've requested earlier however yung validity lang ng copies is within 3 days sa pag lodge na ng visa (if Im not mistaken). So we couldn't get copies ahead and he was about to leave na. When we called the bank, they initially said na they wouldn't allow an authorization letter to release the statements to me. So we personally went to the bank and told them our dilemma and they allowed us, but the dates that were considered was only up until his November statements kasi we were really expecting na end Nov. mag lodge.
Kaya ako kulit ng kulit sa application ko sa IDP kasi October 23 pa ako nag submit, I was really hoping na by mid Nov. may offer letter na and by end of November makapag lodge na kami ng visa, but turned out on Nov 26, hindi pala na forward yung application namin so we waited for almost a month for nothing.
Handa na kasi payment for tuition, medicals, etc. Offer letter nalang hinihintay namin to pay and get a COE.
This time, positivity and prayers na lang nag push sa amin. Hoping na the bank manager might be able to extend our request in case mid-end December na kami makapag lodge. Or we hope sana by next week na lahat para in case hindi pa lumabas yung Dec. statements nya, wala na kami problema sa bank statements sana.
This forum really helped us especially yung mga answers and feedbacks ninyo lahat. So thank you talaga!
I just wanted to share my experience din sa iba para kapag may nakaka experience ng similar situation ko. Alam din nila anong pwedeng gawin
God bless us all!
