    Bat ganun, halos mag-1 month na ako since i applied for nsw nomination and yet wala pa akong reply from them whether approved or rejected. Nakaka-praning maghintay lalo na pag tinignan ko yung tracker ng iba kong kasabayan at nag-respond na si NSW sa kanila within 2 to 3 weeks. Anxious talaga ako kasi I will soon be losing points for my age :(

    @DFVille Hi Sis, eto mapayo ko sayo: pray about it as much as you would think/worry about it. Worrying will not help you in anyway but prayer changes things. :) God is good! Keep your faith, Jesus is with you all the way! :)

    On the other note, is there any way to make a follow up with NSW? - if there is, maybe it will not harm to send them an email to check status of your application.

    @candace hi maybe you can try to make a follow up after the 28 days from CO contact if you really wish to chase.

    I have a friend who submitted application in 3rd week of Aug and got CO contact in 4th week of August and na submit nmn nila on time yung mga hinihingi (within the 28days) hinayaan lang nila hindi sila nag follow up then 3rd Nov received nila Grant.
