  @acelechi15 If I am not mistaken we are not allowed to follow-up our visa within the service standards but you can ask just the status of your application. Pero mas ok ata pag i-email mo sila pag lumampas na ng 14 days.
  
  Buti nalang tinanong ko at ini-mail ko ung emabassy kung hindi naghihitay pala ako sa wala this month. Sa IDP Makati / Manila ako nagpass ng mga papers ko.

Ang napansin ko ngayon ang gnagawa nila pag malapit na ung date ng commencement mo 3-4 days before doon nila nirerelease. Ganun kasi nangyari sa amin ng mga kasabayan ko.

  Hi. Am new here and I have been reading this forum to get some tips and it has been very helpful and am also happy to read those who have been granted with a visa. I just have several questions/inquiry for you since I am planning to take the same degree.
  
  I read from your July 31st post that you are taking Bachelors in Physiotherapy. Is this the same with the one you posted above Bachelor of Health Sciences?
  
  Are you a PT graduate here in the Philippines?
  
  Are you taking the whole four year course of Physiotheraphy / Health Sciences at Bond University?
  
  Hoping to hear from you soon. Thank you.

  Hi to ALL.
  
  Am actually new here and I have been taking time to read this forum for those who are planning to go to Australia through student visa. This forum has been very helpful. I have not yet started my applications, I have yet to take ielts exam this September and thengo through the same process like everyone else.
  
  I am still looking for a University in Melbourne and am planning to take up Physiotherapy just like @lightsaber07. I am actually a graduate of Physiotherapy here but I have only worked as volunteer staff for at least 3 years (but that was a long time ago) and then I worked on a different field in Human Resource.

  I haven't encountered anyone yet with the same course/degree as I am. I was hoping to get some insights if I will be taking up Physiotherapy again in Australia if they do the same as with Nursing braduates in regards to crediting of subjects to shorten your years of study.
  
  If anyone of you here knows or has some ideas it would be very much appreciated. I am posting my queries here coz I still have not yet made any appointment with IDP for assessment.
  
  Thank you guys.
  
  Cheers.
