    @chandria Yeah, best to have it in A4. Saves you from complications. They were strict before, I’m not sure now.

    OH GOD! Praise God!

    Many thanks for this forum and for all the friends I met here too!
    But super thanks to sir MJ and the KOKOS Philippines family and all their students, sobrang laking tulong ng decision ko to transfer agency and it was all worth it!!!

    2015 - took IELTS and did not reach the required score; same year consulted with agencies
    Mar 2, 2017 - a friend of mine flew to Sydney OZ and ref kokos
    Apr 26 - consulted wid Kokos Philippines
    June 20 - applied to Kaplan Business School
    Sept 25 - took the PTE
    Nov 3 - lodged app
    TODAY Nov 17 - VISA GRANT!

    Nakakaiyak na sobrang overwhelming maapprove ng student visa!!!!
    To those who are still waiting for their visas, don't lose hope and pray lang ng pray!! And if you can DYI, you might want to consider aplpying with free processing like Kokos since meron din sila migrration service pagtapos ng school. woooh!!! excited na akoooo!!!

    Thank God sobra!! Will be flying to Sydney Australia next week!!! Thank you pinoyau sobra!!! @stephyyy27 lipat na Sydney dunnn na tayo!!! hahaha!
