  @subclass572 as far as I know, as long as BLOOD RELATED then that's fine.

  Mark 11:24 Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours.

  Hi Everyone! I am currently waiting for my VISA to be granted for quiet sometime now and this Waiting period really is so scary and so stressfull specially when there are lots of at stake (i think we all have the same feelings). But seriously...
  So I would like share to you my ATM timeline and hope to hear feedbacks from anyone.A way of sharing my burden to my co applicants.
  May 24,2016 - Lodge to AU embassy
  May 25,2016 - Receive Acknowledgement Letter fron AU embassy
  June 10,2016 - Scheduled for Medical Exam
  June 13,2016 - Submission of Med.Result to AU embassy
  And the waiting game has just started..I tried to access the VFS Tracker from time to time for updates and the result is always " MY VISA IS CURRENTLY BEING PROCESS AT AU EMBASSY".As observed here in our Forum daming na approved within a month and some are even within 15 days or lesser.
  Btw, I am enrolled in DIPLOMA OF LEADERSHIP AND MANAGEMENT (VET)
  
  Thanks and more power to all of us!
