JapsRN · June 2017

brynn · June 2017

@JapsRN depende sa school eh! Meron mabilis magbigay nang offer letter meron din school na aabot ng 1month bago ka bigyan nang offer letter..

@keisi1987 Thanks sa reply. Nilagay ba sa bank cert mo kelan inopen yung account mo? sorry dami ko questions.

yukio0525 · June 2017

sa bank cert walang nakasulat kelan opening date, yung balance lang nung time na nagrequest ka ng cert at acct number. pag bank of the philippine island, merong average daily balance. kaya if youre planning to open an acct, wag po bpi. sa bdo at bpi family din walang average daily bal

@yukio0525 Thanks for the info yukio!

keisi1987 · June 2017

@ambry sa Rob Bank kasi system generated yung Bank Cert at Bank Statement sila. So kita talaga na bagong open. Mga 2 mos pa lang deposit ko. Haha luckily tinanggap naman nila.

@keisi1987 ? Ndi na po ba need na 3months?

keisi1987 · June 2017

@diane010920 pag naka-agency ka, iaadvice nila sayo na dapat 3 mos talaga. Sa case ko kasi nakipagsapalaran ako na less than kasi niloan ko lang show money ko at d ko afford magbayad ng interest pag ganon katagal.

diane010920 · June 2017

Kya nga po eh.. saan po kayo nag loan ng show money? San po kya mababa lng ung percent? @keisi1987

iya · June 2017

@agentKams Thank you po sa reply. Pero pwede magwork kahit school holidays yung dependent? Basta dapat 40hrs per fortnight parin?

keisi1987 · June 2017

@diane010920 Nirefer ako ng ofcmate ko sa Rob Bank kasi friend niya Bank Manager tapos 4% per annum. D ko lang sure if special rate yung akin. Yung iba ko kasi napagtanungan 3.5% per month.

reilmarie · June 2017

@keisi1987 keisi ask ko lng kung pwede din me maka avail mag borrow din ng show money ung 4% per annum?

frappz · June 2017

ali · June 2017

Orientation lang, general info sharing about your school. Your course and expected assessment nyo sa whole semester or whole year. Policy ng school..

ambry · June 2017

@keisi1987 Sis, what type of loan kinuha mo? with collateral ba to? I have checked their website hanggang 250K lang kasi personal loan nila.

keisi1987 · June 2017

@ambry hey! Sorry di ko sure anong loan. Kasi yung ofcm8 ko nakipag usap sa Bank Manager for me. Basta nagsign lang ako ng agreement na d ako allowed magwithdraw sa acct at hawak nila passbook.

agentKams · June 2017

@iya yes pede pa dn magwork dependant during school holiday, 40 hrs per fortnight lang.

ambry · June 2017

@agentKams Sis, pag 2 year course like yung pinili ko Masters in Prof Acctg, ang dependent walang limit ang number of hours na mag work? Tama ba? sama kasi saken hubby ko as dependent.

Deejay · June 2017

Sa mga naghihintay ng decision ng application ng visa. Dasal lang! Mahirap at nakakakaba talaga maghintay, pero once you receive your notice of grant of your visa, it'll all be worth it!

agentKams · July 2017

@ambry hello sis, unlimited hours ang dependant mo kasi masters by coursework ang kinukuha mo.

reilmarie · July 2017

Hi guys I just want to share my timeline. I am happy for my visa grant. All hardships has been paid off.
Just want to inform people about my smooth experience.

March 24 - School Application, 2 weeks later I received school approval
April - skul requested for financial docs including show money and paid skul fees.
May - Medicals done yet can't apply for visa due to early application for October intake(as per immig website - agent sent me a screenshot for proof that I can't apply visa earlier than 3 months before intake. If I do so, My application will not be prioritiZed)
I waited until june 1st week, agent told me to wait until July.
June 22, agent informed me that fees will be changed by July so she advised me to apply even though I will not be prioritized.
June 23, visa lodged no show money submitted (for streamline school only)
June 28 , Visa Grant

reilmarie · July 2017

I was so down when the agent told me that I cant apply earlier than three months yet I know there's a purpose why it happened. By my surprise it took me 5 days for visa process. Always pray, pray and pray. Lord is always there to hear you.

One piece of advise, make sure ur SOP answers all the list given by ur agent in detail. My agent helped me and push me a lot to make my SOP convincing. I edit it 6-10x. SOP is really important.

I highly recommend AECC cebu Agent: Jade , very approachable, friendly, informative and well experienced. Me and my cousins visa has been approved. Fyi: my couznz visa has been denied once becoz of GTE that was processed from another agency. She was not advised how important SOP is.m and the content has to be detailed. Now we both have our visa. Guys, feel free to ask me, I also have tips about how I managed my show money.

ambry · July 2017

@reilmarie sis, you mentioned that you did not show any proof of funds? streamlined schools?

reilmarie · July 2017

Yes sis, tama kah, nag provide lang ako nung before nagbayad ng tuition fee sa skul then after nun wla nah. hindi na ko nag provide ng show money nung visa application. Nag borrow ako sa niner

aranayad · July 2017

@reilmarie Hi I believe that the reason na hindi hiningi ng embassy upon lodgement yung show money is because your uni is one of the Go8 universities.

Congratulations!!

mcg143 · July 2017

@reilmarie Hi, congratulations! May I know san state ka at school? What is the difference of show money to school than in immig? I plan to study 2018 pa so I should not lodge very early. May I please look at your SOP? Thanks. Nakakainspire ka!
