  "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.

  @danyan2001us kuya, personal assistant pi ng CEO. Nasa US po sya. Yes, sa paypal yung salary. Tapos from paypal to metrobank po. So declare ko po or not? More than 5 years nako work sa kanya. Also, kapag online work po, kasama ba ang count nun sa 40hrs/fortnight? Ang sakit na ng ulo ko kaka analyze :-(

  yong work mo online sa pinas can be a part of your working history especially na mayron siyang money trail kasi nga pumapasok sa bank account mo...on the other hand, i don't think na kasali yan sa 40 hrs per fortnight na limitation mo as a student since wala ka namang timeframe....ang isang punto lang dyan ay ang pumapasok sa bank account mo kasi pag dito sa australia need mo yan ideclare sa pag file mo sa tax mo later on .....kasi nga you are earning online....i would suggest na konsulta ka sa IDP kasi mas authority sila than me on these matters....good luck

  Hi. Newbie here po.. I've been a "spectator mode" of this forum and read almost every convo here. I have learned a lot and got scared na din kasi sa mga refusal stories na din. Got a great news a while ago lang from my agent na approved na visa ko. Thank you for the people here who encourages and shares some tips and advices. I hope na you'll help more people pa! More power and God Bless.

  Congrats! God bless! Always remember to encourage and help others too..

  @valiantboy ika 6 working day ko na ito.. waiting sa eCOE ko.. nakak praning kasi my visa application, medical and baka interview pa. tapos 572 lang yn enenrol ko kasi namahalan ako sa 2 yrs tuition ko although SVP na yun pero mas pinili ko 1yr. eh kasi sa jan 25 2016 na intake ko baka ma alanganin nako nito. dapat nag egent nalang siguro ako sa manila kaso mas mahal ang service fees nila. sa ngayon ang school muna kinukulit ko, after this week kung wala pa ang bpi na. tama naman lahat ng bank details na bingay ko my copy pa nga sila ng bank details ng school.
  
  possible ba na pwede kong kausapin ang school ba gawing SVP 2yr course nalang ang ecoe ko. due to very late visa processing na dala ng wire transfer. kaya naman ang funds ng sponsor ko kung 2 years din.

  Yup ganun nga frustrating nga siya. Hmm..
  Kung SVP naman siya mas konti yung requirements at i doubt mas mahaba sa 3 months yung processing which is yung regular assessment level 3 na non-svp.
  
  Usually may description sa wire transfer.. Parang telegram may 60 characters yata. Kadalasan may instruction na ilagay mo yung name mo o yung transaction number o student number para maidentify yung transaction. Anyway baka madaming transaction tapos hindi nila maidentify kung san sa yo. Hmm. Isa pa parang mas matagal yung first international transaction, tsaka malaki rin yung amount, kaya matagal yung clearing.
  
  Yung coe naman hindi basta basta nabibigyan at napapalitan. Parang nireregister yata yan sa gobyerno. Depende rin yan sa offer na inaccept mo. So i think kailangan ng bagong offer para magawan ka ng panibagong coe. Kung gusto mo papalitan yung offer, gawin mo na bago nila maconfirm yung bayad, otherwise paprocess nila yung coe mo

  @danyan2001us thank you for the info kuya. Would you suggest doing volunteering jobs first? Would that mean she wasn't able to find accounting related jobs for two years? May aaccounting experience po sya sa pinas? Ako wala, so it will be more challenging on my part. Still, I'm hoping for the best. Tapos kuya yung work nya starting 2014, ma count na yun as OZ experience for additional points para maPR since AR officer naman sya?
