  hello Guys ask ko lang po ilang days po result ng visa class 572 after the interview?
  My interview was September 23 2015.. and until now I don't receive any updates to c.o.
  Di ko lam ang status kung ok ba or not sa Nov. 2 na orientation ko... but still keep in faith that God help me...

  @alym_mhyles usually 2-3 days meron na. Pero depende na talaga sa case officer as long as within ng time frame ng processing ng subclass 572

  "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.

  @superluckyclover thanks for the reply. I was planning talaga to take up masters in proj managemnt but my nursing friends in perth and sydney convinced me na mas in demand nursing. from 1st hand experiences nila.
  
  i'm concerned if in demand and if magiging successful ako as PM in construction. my experiences here are more on design lang sa office eh.
  
  but i think that's my best option compared to nursing pero decided na sana ako sa nursing. natatakot lang ako sa visa if ma grant nila ang reason ko to study nursing there.
