  First of all, SUPER THANK YOU 🦸‍♂️, sa forum na ito, especially sa mga main contributors like Ms. @RheaMARN1171933 , @Ozdrims , @mathilde9 and @casssie and sa iba pa na di ko na ma-mention kasi andame talaga contributors dito.

  Kung di dahil sa forum na ito di ko magagawa yung buong application process ng DIY. Pag may doubts ka, either sa pagtake ng PTE, sa paggawa ng CDR or sa pag lodge mismo ng visa application, you can count on this forum talaga. Medyo kailangan mo lang talaga hanapin dahil ang laki na ng library nitong forum.

  Itong forum din na to takbuhan ko lagi pag nawawalan ako ng pag-asa na maiinvite ako, kasi makikita ko yung mga posts ng waiting for grants, or mga na-prepreinvite ng iba’t ibang states.

  Isa lang masasabi ko sa mga magsisimula pa lang, READ READ READ and be patient. Hiraya manawari. Mangyayari ang mangyayari.

  Kudos sa lahat. Next challenge: BIG MOVE ✈️

  Congrats…it was my pleasure to have helped with insights. All the best with your new life down under

  1500 na lang for the remaining last 3 months ang remaining grants , expect na babagal na sa last stretch ng FY.
  Laban lang! Habang may quota may pag asa pa yan kaso need to manage lang expectations.

  Sure! They requested for my newborn's passport and medicals.. after medical ni newborn same day na provide din health clearance niya. May nabasa kasi ako dito 1 day after providing newborn s56 requests visa granted na sila.. baka depende sa CO. Maya't maya na nga ako nagrrefresh ng gmail 😅😂
