    may nabasa ako somewhere dito sa pinoyau pero parang dated 2013 or 2014 pa un, hindi niya inaadvise na mag IE ka ng dikit sa first entry date given sa visa, primarily because baka me mga unexpected turn of events at di mo mafulfill ung IED naku sayang ang lahat..

    @jandm initially balak ko talaga mag big move agad ~30 days after getting the grant kung nakuha ko siya earlier, pero since na delay ako ng 3 months dahil sa cultures/repeat x-ray napagdesisyunan ko rumaket to cover my losses nung 3 months, so baka mag initial entry nalang muna ako 1-2 months from the grant, then big move maybe after 6 months. Kinuha ko nalang din kasi ung raket para maaliw ako sa paghihintay at hindi mainip o isipin masyado ung visa, hindi ko kinaya ung every day/week ako nagaabang kung tatawag ba sa akin ang st. lukes para sabihing positive ung cultures ko (+6 months if ever positive!), nakakabaliw lang 8-}
