    @tangentph actually na-refuse ako visitor visa ko dyan, i thought kasi yun funds ko dito sa qatar was enough and di ko nadeclare assest ko from pinas. Pero kung cguro sa case mo, enough funds (dubai and pinas) and complete ka naman ng papers, most likely and hoping your application will be fine :) pray ka lang and claim it! Include kita sa prayers ko :)

    Hi guys! pwede ba mag tanong dito? kasi I initially applied for TAFE Ultimo for Mechanical Engineering course bali Diploma to Degree siya. after 2 years sa TAFE derecho na sa UWS, pero tonight I just receieved my conditional offer letter for UWS, at hindi sa TAFE. gusto ko po kasi talaga mag TAFE muna because yun lang ang ma-aafford ko for now then once maka adjust na I can go for UWS na.

    Quesion po: Pano po ba gagawin ko sa situation ko? I plan on talking to my agent sa IDP Makati bukas ng umaga. may mga cases na rin po ba dito na ganito po ang nangyari like me? Pano po ba ko makaka pag apply sa TAFE muna?

    Salamat po sa mga sasagot! Mabuhay po kayo!

    @jillisraju hi! Sponsor ko po father ko.. And i have savings din for my everyday living.. Kung mag wwork as a student, we only have 20hours per week, and mejo mahirap sya pagsabayin sa studies. According to my sister, she's also a temporary student ngayon, she tried na iraise ang tuition nya for the next sem pero di nya kaya.
