    @ann006 automatic po kasi pag nalodge nyo na yung application nyo at na acknowledge na ng embassy kasama sa acknowledge email yung medical schedule nyo,. Pero kung pagka lodge nyo at hindi kayo binigyan ng medical shedule at ang binigay sainyo ay for interview may mga question si embassy sainyo na need nyo masagot, base on your old post about sa show money hindi ba kayo nagbago ng sponsor at kung hindi kayo nagbago isa yan sa mga question sainyo,. Good luck and god bless you all.

    @dreamprayhard84 yes indeed! It was like interview for fiance visa at all.. Most the questions is regarding about my source of funds, strong evidence ung mga receipt ng remittance when I was in pH but then Sinai sa akin na she is not satisfied sa source of funds ko.. I asked if there are any possible ways to consider it kasi ung money near is nasa act ko na for more than 4 months na so meaning akin na ung pera.. Then she said she might consider if we will send pictures together.. Old pictures to prove the relationship. Parang fiance visa na siya.. Hahaha then she said she will submit daw sa superior niya and let's see daw kung e consider niya.. What do u think guys? Magkakasakit ako sa puso nito haissttt

    @ann006 nasa sainyo na po yan kung mag submit kayo ng mga old pictures ng bf mo, pero sigurado ako iconsider nila na may relasyon kayo talaga ng b.f mo pero regarding naman pagiging sponsor ng bf mo sayo base sa rules hindi nyo po talaga siya pwede maging sponsor kasi hindi naman kayo kasal, at about naman sa pera na nilagay sa account mo na almost 4months na need mo padn mag provide ng mga valid documents kung saan galing yung pera or pwede nyo iwithdraw yung application sa embassy at palitan nyo yung sponsor at ang ipalit nyo yung base sa rules na pwede mo maging sponsor at ilodge nyo ulit meron dito sa forum ganyan yung ginawa at naging ok nmn ang application nila. Good luck po.

    @jenmac Sis, thanks sa informations. So, mga 2.5M-3M pala talaga pag may family na... plus schooling na ang kids ko. Willing naman mag sponsor cousins ko doon, ito cguro need ko i-clarify kung pede sila or hindi..

    Sa ngaun, nalilito ako kung cookery or age care kukunin, kasi parehas suggested ng cousins ko doon at each have pros and cons... Mas gusto ko cookery pero less than 3 yrs lang yun... Both courses ay malayo sa course ko at experience, so need ko pa kumuha ng short term dito..at 6 month ata ang shortest term. Plus undergraduate pa ako..so dko alam kung may iba pang kailangang gawin...

    Sana by next week makapagdecide na ako... hahanap pa ako ng school na pagtrainingan ko dito. :)

    @pattycorky thanks sa input. Dapat pala talaga 3M i-ready namin... kulang pa ako ng kalahati haha... Mother (nasa pinas lang sya) ko na lang ang mag sponsor sa akin... Hindi pala pwede cousins talaga... Yung aunty ko kasi is pensioner na... :)
