    @tagaCebu sa NHSI Baguio po ako. Dumating ako dun before 8 and ako na po pinakauna. Hehe i think depende po kung san clinic, kasi dun po sa baguio di masyado marami unlike sa manila. Tapos na ako around 9 pero nakaalis ako 11 na kasi late dumating yung doctor. 1st come 1st serve kasi sila eh, agahan niyo na lang po para sure mga 7 ganon.

    Guys question sa steps ng student visa..
    1. Apply to school. (Currently here pa lang ako.)
    2. Offer letter- enrol.
    3. Coe - padala ba nila ito sa email then i forward din via email sa embassy?
    4. Apply sa embassy - ano docs na required and soft copies ba lahat? No need for hard copies?
    5. Advise for medicals - if taking anti- hypertension and anti-gout medicines, grounds ba yun na marefer pa? What happens kung hindi ko na i declare?

    Last question, Mahirap na ba talaga ako makaabot sa july 29 intake? Up to 1 week late lang allowed ng UWS e. positive thinking pa rin ako kase assessment level 1 and svp. Sana umabot pa. Sayang ang 7 months. And sayang ang 2 months christmas break. Work to the max sana. He he.

    @tagaCebu http://www.pinoyau.info/profile/signature - uncheck ang "hide signature"

    sir merong paper sa entrance nang nationwide. sulat mo name mo doon pagdating mo. yung entrance malapit sa ramp. good luck! look for the location din nang nationwide sa building directory na naka display sa gilid nang entrance.

    Tumawag ka ba sir sa nationwide? baka kasi iba nang tinitext nila ngayon sa clients nila. April 15 na text nila yung pinost ko eh.

    Guys question sa steps ng student visa..
    1. Apply to school. (Currently here pa lang ako.)
    2. Offer letter- enrol.
    3. Coe - padala ba nila ito sa email then i forward din via email sa embassy?
    4. Apply sa embassy - ano docs na required and soft copies ba lahat? No need for hard copies?
    5. Advise for medicals - if taking anti- hypertension and anti-gout medicines, grounds ba yun na marefer pa? What happens kung hindi ko na i declare?

    Last question, Mahirap na ba talaga ako makaabot sa july 29 intake? Up to 1 week late lang allowed ng UWS e. positive thinking pa rin ako kase assessment level 1 and svp. Sana umabot pa. Sayang ang 7 months. And sayang ang 2 months christmas break. Work to the max sana. He he.

    Thanks to all. Dami matutunan dito.
    Apply ka muna sa school kasi included sa reqts ng student visa ang COE which will be provided by the school. One nandyan na Full Offer, bayad ka tuition fee , health insurance , etc. Communicate ka sa school mo ano dapat e.send mo na reqts sa kanila. Once ayos na lahat sa school, gather mo naman reqts for student visa application, then lodge. Fees ay 23,900 pesos managers check, 900 pesos courier fee. Hard copies lahat ang pinadala ko at IDP sa embassy. About sa #5 q mo, wla na ako idea, wait tayo reply sa mga knowledgeable people.

    Kaya pa yan, wala namang fee if ma defer sa 2014 eh. Sana mabilis nga pag svp. Yan ang pinag darasal ko na within 14 days lang.

    Panibagong araw nanaman dabarkads. Nag-email ako sa IDP last week, kasi tinanong ko yung counsellor ko kung pwedeng mag follow-up sa embassy at kung anong tatawagan/email add. Eto ang reply niya:

    Unfortunately, the Australian Embassy will usually not entertain follow-ups within the 3-month period from lodging your visa application. However, you may try and email [email protected] if you want.

    kayo, musta mga follow-up niyo? haays.
