@chewychewbacca wala n po. Direct grant agad.
Kaya ako naging dakilang lurker for a long time kasi nag-uumapaw ang knowledge and tulong dito basta matiyaga lang tayo mag-basa.
The best 2 tips i keep seeing in this site:
1. As @shemsimi mentioned, complete docs is everything. Upload na agad lahat pag lodge.
2. Pray and own it. In God's time darating yan.
Good luck to all those waiting and hope to see U in AU soon! :-)
