May tanong po ako. Nag apply kayo as single. Hangang sa nag ka ITA. Then wedding. Pag lodge nyo ng application, sinama nyo agad si misis? Or separate processing Misis nyo?
Sakin kasi, waiting pa ITA. July (hopefully). Tapos lodge ako visa. Pag uwi sa pinas on March, kasal, then April diretso na sana AU. Ang hindi ko pa masyado planado, pano maka sunod si misis smoothly. hehe. Any suggestion? Thanks
