  Hello po mga kuya at ate... Bago lang po ako sa forum.. May ask lang po ako regarding sa student visa application..
  
  Nag aapply po kc ako sa Australian Education Academy sa Melbourne..may agent po kami don na nag aassist samin s school. January 4, 2016 po ang start ng pasok pero di pa rin po kami nkaka submit s immigration gawa ng funds namin wala pa. E ang sabi po kailangan 3 months nsa bank na yung pera pag kukuha ng bank certificate. Kung halimbawang mga 2 months or 1 month lang maipapasok yung pera pang show money ko po...ok lang po kaya yun? Or possible ma deny yung application?
  
  Salamat po in advance sa magrereply.. Have a good day po sa lahat..

  hello sis....just to be honest with you...if di aabot ang funds mo sa required amount ay malaki ang chance na ma reject ang application mo so kung kulang ang funds mo ay huwag mo muna i submit at masayang lang ang effort at gastos mo....

  medyo may kamahalan yon pero as a start pwede mo muna pagtyagaan yan then look for something cheaper....ang advanteg mo lang doon ay makakasave ka sa pagpunta mo sa school kasi nga walking distance lang....malaking bagay na rin yon....
