Nakakakaba naman kasi talaga bawat kislot. Kanina when i checked immiaccount, received status pa din. Tapos may nakalagay, Actions, nung click ko, nakalagay, remove etc etc, ay natakot ako, nagpindot ako ng my application na lang para bumalik sa homepage. Ayoko na uli magpipi dot at baka maremove ko pa application ko. Nakakanerbyos kasi. Kalag ba visa grant, hindi VISA GRANT and title sa subject?
