  Hello po tanong ko lang, I'm planong to study in melbourne. Kaso, I was thinking to pay my remaining tuition fee (around AUD 8,000) through working part time. Sabi 20 hours lang allowed mag work per week yung mga students, honestly, I can't relay on my family from philippines to help me out financially specially with my tuition fees. Tanong ko lng kaya ko po bang magsurvive in AU Melbourne while working only as a part-time tapos babayaran ko po yung accommodation ko at tuition? Salamat

  Hi guys! Tanong ko lang kung kelan ako mag start counting for processing timeline of 14days. 572svp po ako and my visa was lodged thru vfs last may 3 and vfs tracker states that docs are already at the embassy on may 4. Ang sabi ng idp may 16 daw yung acknowledgement letter from embassy. So should i start counting on may 4 or may 16?

  -Pwede po ba magpa notarize ng affidavit of support kahit ako lang mag dadala sa notario public pero may sign na ng sponsor ko plus the supporting document? Yun bang ma papa stamp lang..
  -ok lang ba kahit hindi mismong stamp yung ginamit. Kasi meron ako affidavit na pati yung details ng attorney naka type at print tapos nag sign lang sya. Ok lang ba kahit walang contact number?
  -may charge ba pag kumukuha ng bank cert? Kasi sa bpi, kumuha ako. May 100 per copy debited daw sa account. Hindi ba ma apektuhan yung actual na funds nun?

  Hi @Joshua1_9 I think it's becoming common these days. Mine was lodged Apr 29 but I received the letter on May 5 already. But you can call VFS to confirm your application. Dun ko lang din nalaman na nung 29 pa nareceive ng embassy and it's the same date stated in my letter of acknowledgement so accurate naman sya
