Eto ung email ng Chisholm sakin. They'll reply within 3-5 business days.
Please find attached late arrival letter.
Please be aware that if you arrive any later than Monday 15 July 2013 you will not be granted admission into this program and you will have to defer to next available intake.
Unfortunately the Nursing teaching department will not accept any students to commence after the above date..

Here's the reply from the embassy
Regarding the visa application we do ask that noting that this is AL 3 student cases (subject to 90 days DIAC Global Service standard) that you do allow reasonable time to enable such visas to be processed in accordance with our service standards (especially during peak student intake period), Whilst we will endeavour to finalise this case as quickly as possible, I cannot guarantee this will be done by end of July.
Advise nila is to defer.
I also asked about changing my course from Diploma to Bachelors... they told me that it's a high risk of not getting a full refund. I'm worried about not getting a full refund at forfeited pa ung application and courier fee. Start from scratch talaga. I decided to just defer my application.
Waiting for IDP's reply on how to go about the deferment process.

@KG2 oo nga, sobrang higpit ng UK. nandun lang kasi sister at relatives ni wife kaya tinry namin yun lang hndi talaga pinalad e. Sobra higpit sila to the point na pinapunta kami sa embassy for a face to face interview. Para kaming nasa hot seat. It was not an interview more like an interrogation. Grabe silang higpit lalo kung pinaghihinalaan kang magaaral ka lang to come there and then work.
