    Ganyan din ako yung mga earlier student visa applications walang middle name. Sa tingin ko maliit na bagay if hindi mo lang nailagay and will not be a cause of refusal.

    Congrats sa lahat ng may grant :) dami nyo today :)

    Pwede ba mag out of topic question? Wala pa akong ITA, pero nagiisip ako, ang mahal pala ng application fees ano. Karamihan sa inyo pano po ginawa? Kasi pag credit card pala may surcharge? Pano po diskarte nyo sa payment? Or matagal nyo na talaga pinagipunan? Family of 4 kami so ang laki ng bayad if ever. Parang hirap pakawalan e no? Hehe..

    @Ozlaz sugal talaga. It depends on how much you want this. Kami kasi, I will be honest with you ha. Medyo fortunate din na ok parents ko. Yung visa application payment namin, nasa mga 200k yun for us 2 including surcharge. Hiniram ko muna sa dad ko. I used his credit card. Tas plan ko, I will sell my car pag aalis na Kami to pay him. Di kasi ng card ko ng amount that big. And medyo ubos na din ako sa gastos sa agency any all the other stuff. In my opinion, it depends on how much you want this. Dapat pag pinasok mo to, walang plan b. Mabaon sa utang if kailangan. Kung baga sa poker. All in sugal to. Of course it's differen for you since you have kids

    @Ozlaz pareho tayo. Family of 4. Nasa 272k binayaran ko. Wala pa mga medical. I used eon card sa union bank. Pa increase mo na lang maximum limit to 300k. Ung exchange rate ni visa gagamitin. Medyo malaki gastos, pero in the end, mababawi mo naman yan para sa family mo. All the best.
