    Commit to the Lord everything you do. Then your plans will succeed. Proverbs 16:3 (NIRV)

    The longer you have to wait for something, the more you will appreciate it when it finally arrives. The harder you have to fight for something, the more priceless it will become when you achieve it. And the more pain you have to endure on your journey, the sweeter the arrival at your destination. All good things are worth waiting for, and worth fighting for.

    @iheartoz sobrang thankful and grateful talaga ako. kasi nagwoworry kami ni hubby during our medical exams. While waiting for our appointment nagkape kami so nung kinunan kami ng BP nag 150/110 yata sya ako naman 130/100 dahil narin siguro sa nerbyos. Naka 3 takes kami ng BP pinarelax muna nila kami hahaha.. And meron din ako 30degree scoliosis which minention din nun nagxray sakin. so takot namin baka marefer yung medicals namin. Thankfully hindi naman. :)

    sis can you help me po... may sample statutory declaration, sponsors authorization letter at affidavit of support. yan daw po kc hihingin ko sa sponsor ko sa US ako n po sna gawa pra sign nlng siya t notary thank you
    The sole purpose of the letter is to officially attest that I,[Sponsor's Name] would like to support to my [relation to the sponsor], [visa applicant] to pursue his studies in [place of study]. I will be responsible for all his financial needs starting from the educational costs, health care, recreation, down to his living allowance during his stay in [part of australia], Australia.

    I am fully aware of all the costs involved relative to being a student in Australia, with that being said, along with this letter, I will be sending my bank account and income statements to show proof of funds allotted for my nephew’s study.

    For any concerns or to verify my contact details, along with my work and financial institution’s numbers and address will be made available for further reference or verifications needed.
    Along with the above letter, my uncle made me a secondary account holder to the bank in the US for the sponsorship to be realistic. Kasi ang kailangan mo isatisfy is ung question "how will you have access to the funds"?

    Pag pasensyahan na ung grammar ko. Ako lang may gawa dyan. Please personalize it, edit according to your need.

    Hope this one helps..

    @danyan2001us Yes sa CBD din po. I considered going din sa Ballarat pero I ended up sa CSU kasi 12 units lang yung masters and pasok din sya sa 2 years study requirement. :) Hopefully sir hindi ko na kelangan mag professional year kasi abot ko pa naman ang 60pts as long as I finish my masters.. Wag lang sana magkaron ng policy changes in the future. :)

    @trinketz_07 Wow congrats. Turn na ba namin?

    "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.
