    @engineer20 balak ko po sana mag aral nalang ulit sa AU ng instrumentation pagkapasok ko dun e, o di kaya magtraining na rin ng instrumentation dito after grad. Saka di po ba 3 yrs or more ang kailangan na work exp para mabigyan ka ng points sa EA?

    Btw guys, nakalagay sa form "Please use a pen, and write neatly in English using BLOCK LETTERS."

    Pen talaga or puwede I-fillup yung pdf sa computer, then print it out then yung pen lang yung signature?

    Pero parang may nabasa ako na puwede din scanned signature?

    Salamat ng marami! :)

    God is really good. He do everything in HIS time.

    Ganito pala feeling ng naka receive ng grant. Seriously, hindi ko ini expect na mapapaiyak ako sa tuwa.

    @greatsoul
    At least now, hindi nako kakabahan sa alis namin ng 3rd week of March. I actually booked that trip by faith believing that God will grant our visa before that date.

    @eujin mukhang nabasa mo na istorya ko. hehehe.

    @brnaye @tweety11 3rd week of March po punta namin. Dapat bisita lang muna kaming 2 ng wife ko and apply sana muna ng tourist visa but then took a leap of faith and decided to include my kids in the same trip believing that we will receive the grant by Feb. Praise God!

    @mike @Noodles12 @FireBREATHER Thanks!

    @Santi Thanks and congrats din sa inyo.

    in my case, same management but school was granted a university status. so may additional "university" sa end..with EA, we used the new name kasi we submitted new school records bearing the new name but EA used old name of school, di naman nag-ask ng additional school records. But with DIBP when we lodged our visa, I submitted certification to support the CEMI of my wife (from same school0 which has the new university logo..
