  Loving Lord!The Scripture says that You are aware of all our needs, even before we ask You. So I come to You and place this request at Your loving hands.You know how desperate I am for getting the Visa. My soul has become weary and anxious over this delay in getting the visa .O Lord! Speak in the hearts of the concerned officials, grant me favour in their eyes and help me to get my visa on time so that my purpose is fulfilled. Perfect everything for me my Master. I wait at Your feet and trust in You to make this possible. I know that You will do it for You will never let Your children down. I thank You for listening to my plea! To You alone be all honour and glory. In the sweet name of Jesus I pray.Amen.

  @Yukishih Please help, im planning to take Aged Care sa kangan kasi dun malapit yung matuition sa akin, but it will only last for 6 months after that i should go home. My other option is Enrolled nursing, which is 1.5 years but I cant afford the show money. I have dependents kasi and IDP computed that I should have 4M in the bank for this. I am really despondent but I'm not losing hope. Do you think Aged Care is worth the risk? Makakakuha ba ako ng employer to sponsor me a working visa? Or after aged care can I stay further to study proper nursing? Please enlighten me. I am nurse but no working experience, may IELTS narin ako 7.5.. I am really saddenned by the 4M financial requirements..

  @annalissajoan hi! if i were you. age care kukunin ko. then while studying apply ka na din sa mga age care, yung iba kumukuha naman daw sila. if in case mtapos mo na and wala pa dn employer, apply ka nlng ng bn nursing, yung 4m mo sa fund ipang-tuition mo nlng, wala pang show money. that is to buy time while looking for employer. yung 4m na yun kaya mo na yun buong course ng nursing e. per sem lang naman ang bayaran ng tuition so hindi bgla yung pera. dont ask IDP about employer and all, some of them wont answer you kasi study lang daw sila and they dont want others to point fingers in them kung d ka makahanap ng work. hope this helps!

  Hi. I emailed the Embassy last Friday then here is their response:
  
  "As you may be aware, your visa application is an Assessment Level 3 case
  and as per the information available on our website, the DIAC Global
  Service Standard for processing times for these visas is 90 days.
  
  I note your visa application was lodged on July 15, 2013 and this visa
  application is therefore still within our service standards and applicants
  do have a responsibility to ensure they leave reasonable time between
  lodgment date and course commencement dates and intended travel to
  Australia in accordance with our published service standards."
  
  Nagulat ako ng bigla. Bakit ako nag-fall sa Assessment Level 3 na dapat SVP ako, which is the streamlined visa. Buti nalang ini-mail ko sila (embassy), pag hindi, naghihintay pala ako sa wala this month. Bakit kaya? Grabe. Parang nabagsakan ako ng, ewan ko ba.
  
  I-emailed IDP as soon as I receive the email. They said they will contact the embassy soon. Sana maayos ung assessment level ko.

Emailed them back and said that I should be under SVP / Streamlined Visa, at the same time, I also informed and email IDP Manila about the matter.
  14 August 2013 - Received their response. Said that they will try to finalize my visa in two weeks, still on the 3rd of September. And said that my application was reallocated under SVP.

  Maayos din yan ng IDP dont worry

  "IF YOU ASK ANYTHING IN MY NAME, I WILL DO IT".

  John 14:14

  Loving Lord!The Scripture says that You are aware of all our needs, even before we ask You. So I come to You and place this request at Your loving hands.You know how desperate I am for getting the Visa. My soul has become weary and anxious over this delay in getting the visa .O Lord! Speak in the hearts of the concerned officials, grant me favour in their eyes and help me to get my visa on time so that my purpose is fulfilled. Perfect everything for me my Master. I wait at Your feet and trust in You to make this possible. I know that You will do it for You will never let Your children down. I thank You for listening to my plea! To You alone be all honour and glory. In the sweet name of Jesus I pray.Amen.
