  @Misyel congrats. See you soon here in Sydney

  "IF YOU ASK ANYTHING IN MY NAME, I WILL DO IT".

  John 14:14

  Loving Lord!The Scripture says that You are aware of all our needs, even before we ask You. So I come to You and place this request at Your loving hands.You know how desperate I am for getting the Visa. My soul has become weary and anxious over this delay in getting the visa .O Lord! Speak in the hearts of the concerned officials, grant me favour in their eyes and help me to get my visa on time so that my purpose is fulfilled. Perfect everything for me my Master. I wait at Your feet and trust in You to make this possible. I know that You will do it for You will never let Your children down. I thank You for listening to my plea! To You alone be all honour and glory. In the sweet name of Jesus I pray.Amen.

  hi bro..i would advice you now if you have time go and seek advise sa IDP anyway they're free at ang maganda doon if dyan pa lang sa atin channel ka na sa kanila pagdating nyo dito they can still assist you in your next visa application....with regard to OSHC, yes you need to pay the whole coverage of your stay here in OZ....

  @anne1502 hi! It's true na nd qualified ang bf as sponsor but it will depend pa rin sa case officer mo. Para safe parents mo or relatives from aus. Pag 572 visa for colleges un, mahigpit sila sa financial capability mo but malaking mura ang tuition sa college. Sa universities naman which is 573 ay nd nagrerequire ng financial docs but triple ang tuition fee pero you can go through working here temporarily or permanently if my company na mag sponsor sa yo. It still depends sa yo kung ano ung plans mo and kung ano ung maiiprovide mo.

  @meechan_rn yes po. Dec 6 yung ielts ko andthen nagbayad ako sa school ng dec 29. Yung CoE ko kasi within the day ko lang din nakuha eh. Then jan 10 ako nagpamedical. Nagcocompule na ako ng mga docs ko after ko mag ielts. For me mas okay mag idp kasi mas matutulungan ka nila kapag may mga questions ka. Before kasi balak ko hindi mag idp pero sakanila ako nagpaayos ng application ko sa school and visa. Okay sa idp kasi kung may questions ka regarding sa mga ipapasa mong docs sila makakapag bigay ng idea kung anong pwede mong isubmit. Basta okay sa idp promise. Wala naman bayad sa idp kapag sakanila ka nagpaprocess for school and visa. Free sila kung from school application pa lang sakanila ka nagpaprocess. Kapag visa lang 10k ang bayad. Nagpasa ako jan 13 then natanggap ng embassy ng jan.15 tas visa grant ng jan.30
