    @redlips if you will read the old threads may mas hopeless pa sayo ang situation pero they stood still and prayed really hard for their application until such time na naapprove or it has been decided to defer na. A very good lesson from those scenarios would be the patience and faith that our bros and sis had shown. Despite the pressure, anxiety not to mention the time, effort and money. Filipino tayo eh!

    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.

    Hi Everyone. I am new to this forum. I hope someone would be able to help me regarding on my question/s.

    I have just receive an email from IDP today that I am advise to take the Medical Examination in 5 days from now. I choose St. Luke's Extension Clinic because it is nearer from where I am currently living. I tried to start my application and started to fill in the Online Registration at their website (http://www.slec.ph/) and then when the copy of the form arrived through my email it stated "PERMANENT" in the portion for the length of study, given that I have indicated that my stay would be only be TEMPORARY. I tried to fill in the form again but the same problem occurred. Would I be possible that I will just erase it and rewrite/reprint on the printed form?

    I need advice if someone had similar situation.

    Thank you.

    @KG2 Thanks for the concern. Kakatapos lang ng medical/s ko kanina. Binigyan nalang ulit nila ako ng new form to fill in. Sana ma-upload agad sa ehealth and sana wala nang additional tests, para maprocess na ung visa. Riniquire pa nila ako ng additional examinations which are ANTI-HCV and HBsAg. Mas matagal kaya processing noon?

    12 August 2013 - Embassy replied that my application was being assess under Assessment Level 3. That I still need to wait for a total of 60 working days. Emailed them back and said that I should be under SVP / Streamlined Visa, at the same time, I also informed and email IDP Manila about the matter.
    14 August 2013 - Received their response. Said that they will try to finalize my visa in two weeks, still on the 3rd of September. And said that my application was reallocated under SVP.

    @lightsaber07 regarding sa additional labs, di nmn matatagalan ang processing kasi blood test lng yan at within 24 hours may result na. Matatagalan lang ang processing if your medical results will be referred to global health/ moc.

    @heyitscharmlalalala sana nga. ang DIAC sa IDP nakipag communicate tungkol sa extension. Considering the busy sched IDP has, medyo kinabahan ako baka di agad ma send ang letter. I emailed CDU and requested for the letter. In less than one hour dumating agad. Pero I hope finorward na din nang IDP sa DIAC with the same sense of urgency that I have. If not, I will forward the letter to DIAC tomorrow. Bahala na if mainsulto ang IDP. Haha

    @Darwin marami pa bang di nakarating? bro kitakita tayo ni @tagaCebu some time din dyan. Wala akon relatives dyan eh. So mabuti nalang na meron akong kakilalang pinoy. Me tshirt ba sila bro? Gusto ko shirt. Hehe. So how's Darwin bro? Maganda ba? Gaano kainit dyan? Electric shaver ba? Sensya pare daming question.

    @TagaCebu - baka sabay na tayo mag orientation. Anyway bro, sabi nang extension leter, meron tayong extra class na aattendan yung academic class...for the semester to help us in strengthening our academic skills daw...
