    @Cassey hi thank you for the advise actually house and rental and food will not be a problem for us my aampon samin hehe and he is willing to help us till makapagadjust financially. yes i know its not the tuition fee lng tlga theres a lot of things na pgkakagastusan. the advantage of getting bachelor 2yrs rather that conversion course daw kasi we will have another 2yrs post study visa for us to be able to apply for pr and look for sponsor as well. :) we'll take note of your advise thank you and Godbless

    @Jovanniramos36 IDP ba kayo? NagIDP rin kasi kami before. With regards to the plane tickets, merong discount pag IDP tapos Qantas Airlines. I'm not so sure though kung ganun pa rin. May form lang na kukuhanin from IDP. With regards to visa orientation, wala kaming ganun noon.

    I need help as to the best thing to do in terms sa proof or evidence. Ano ang pwde kong ipakita.

    Any ideas po? Im just really confused as of the moment as i am given 28 days. Any help iss appreciated. Thanks po!

    OT lang po.
    Question po sa mga may sponsor from Australia. San po ba sila nag pa notarized ng documents (bank statement, itr,payslip,affidavit of support) and magkano po yung fee ? Aside po sa private lawyers. maraming salamat po.
    kung notarised, eh di sa notary public. pero kung certified copy lang naman yung kailangan pwede sa Justice of the Peace or sa mga police stations. Otherwise, depending on the required certification, pwede rin naman ibang professionals like pharmacists and nurses.
