Question po:
May issue ba kung mag-lodge ako while meron akong valid na Business Visitor visa? Meron kasi akong work-related trip to AU and inisip ko mag-lodge na lang after ko makauwi. Though naiinip na ko and gusto ko na umusad yung application namin hehe.

On a serious note, ok lang po na iupload nyo maski SSS contri man yan. syllabus..whatever na feeling nyo ay makakatulong. Sa pagba-browse ko ng mga timeline, parang average ng 3-4 weeks bago silipin uli ng CO yung may required add'l docs to submit...depende na lang kung masipag ang CO.
Doble talaga pag-aantay natin December batch...kasi nataon pa na may long vacation (Christmas and New Year). Pero patience lang..pasasaan ba at ibibigay din yan. Pray lang lagi Yung golden email dumarating na lang yan when you least expect it. GOOD LUCK!!!
