    @amedina mas mahal po nga ata talaga tuition pag international. nakita ko din kasi sa mga shool website nga. thanks po mam ah.
    malaki talaga ang difference between the tuition fees ng mga international students comparing to pr and citizen just to sight one example...nong nasa TAFE pa si wifey ang tuition fees niya every semester is 4,500$ while ang citizen was just paying 500$

    basing on my experience at although wala naman akong tattoo, I don't think and feel na may discrimination sila dito pagdating sa tattoo dahil nga para sa kanila dito art ang tattoo...karamihan sa mga kasama ko sa work n amga aussie may mga tattoo....

    @phamelaoh Agree ako kay kuya dan. Walang discrimination dito sa tattoos. I think hindi big deal para sa aussies yun kasi its art for them. Sa work ko, dalawang nurses (one guy and a girl) may big tattoos sila both arms, matagal na sila nag wowork dun. No issue even sa patients. Meron din akong 2 clinical instructors at lecturer sa uni na meron din. :)

    first time that i heard of such a case....but if i were you and for the sake of your bro's visa application, why not opening an account that's solely your own...then return everything to you and husband's joint account when everything is done....IMHO

    @danyan2001us Kuya, guys i was refused last Feb 5. Ayaw nga tlga ang selling of properties/deed of sale as proof of funds. But i accepted it with faith. Now, im planning to reapply. Bank Loan po ang gagawn ko. Sa March 15 kame mkakapag loan pa. Ask ko lng if you do have any ideas about what are the financial documents needed in embassy. Kung ano lng ba ung bngay ng bank saken un dn ang isasubmit ko sa 2nd application ko? Im planning na dn na isama ko hubby ko sa application ko since same showmoney pa dn yara nman ako. Tska medical at embasst fee lng babayaran nia tama po ba? :) Tska if i loan po sa Bank no need to wait for 3 mos tama po ba?

    I wont give up po. Refusal in my first application doesn't mean am gonna give up na. Im stronger now and im keeping up my faith. :)

    @Nacho napasyal lang ako ulit dito sa forum and I saw your post. Hindi ko lang po alam ngayon pero nung kami nag apply ng student visa which was july 2013, sponsor ko ung brother ko. lahat ng bank account nya joint sila ng asawa nya. Wala naman po naging problema. Basta parehas sila naka pirma sa stat dec/affidavit of support. Then submit din namin ITR nila both and passport. I hope this helps.

    @Nacho ako din lahat ng sponsor ko dati like dalawa kong brother at mother at father ko puro joint account.

    "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.
