My Profile:
ADB: XX,XXX+
Balance : XXX,XXX+
COE, PSA, ITR, Multiple US Visa, Canada ETA, 2 used SoKor single Visa and a very detailed cover letter why adb is low, paying for car & housing loan.

BFs Profile:
ADB: 2X,XXX+
Balance: 1XX,XXX+
COE, PSA, cover letter explaining the absence of an ITR due to employment on a daily rate basis, as well as the low average daily balance (ADB) resulting from financial support for his brother’s tuition and school expenses.

TIPS: Give yourself plenty of time to secure a VFS appointment. Slots can be very limited, so patience is key. In our case, I managed to book one around 2 AM when new schedules were released.

Take your time filling out the application form. Review every detail carefully and make sure all information is accurate and consistent. Do thorough research on the specific requirements for your visa type so you don’t miss anything important.

When writing your cover letter, be honest and sincere. Clearly explain your purpose of travel and address any missing requirements with transparency. A genuine and well-explained letter can make a big difference.

Nakakakaba yung 2 weeks na pag antay but it’s all worth it dahil na approve kami. 😍

Spreading approval dust to everyone ✨
