Magbabayad ba ako ulit ng student visa application fee in case mag lodge ako this week tapos wala pa rin visa ko on July 29 then mag defer ako for Feb 2014 nalang? Ang sabi kasi ng idp at ng school ay it is up to me if i will take that risk. And di ko maintindihan is ano ang "risk". Is it the application fee of 23,900?
