My visa has been granted na! Hoping all of you would get yours as well!
I'm still skipping my orientation on the 26th though. Ano kaya magandang reason? Hindi pa kasi ako ready! haha

Yeah, the school is included sa streamlined visa processing, pero, hindi naman ako magtutuloy sa partner university niya. Nagtaka din ako kung bakit sobrang bilis lang eh. Kasi July 5, ako nagmedical, then on the 13th granted na.

@Cheers25 Na inform mo a school mo regarding sa late arrival? Hope ma-release na visa natin soon. I have until Friday, how about you?
@Jenny_sg I think there's like only two schools in Australia that is not included in the streamline processing, so as long as you are qualified for it you can lodge the visa under it. I believe if bachelor or masters ang kunin streamlined na. For the statement of declaration for streamlined nagpa-notary lang ako ng declartion stating this " I ______ , declare that I have access to funds from an acceptable source that are sufficient to meet course fees, living costs and travel costs for the full duration of my proposed stay in Australia."... wala na hinigi na financial documents. For assessment level 2 i'm not sure, but most likely it would be on the immigration website. Tagal ka pa pala, wag lang mag relax while waiting tulad ko hahaha... cheers!

@mackie21 Etiher August 1 or August 4. I'm still confirming sa school kasi if I can skip nga the first day of school. Sabi naman nun friend ko from the same school, lenient naman daw sila.
For terminal fee, if I remember correctly, 750 ata. Yun travel tax, I'm not quite sure how much. But I heard kapag airline from the Phils. parang included na ata sa ticket.
Parang mas nasstress ako ngayon na visa grant na kasi super hindi pako ready! hahah
