nung ng apply kmi ng visa. what we made sure was that all our docs were complete and in order. iniwasan tlga nmin mga smudges and erasures. kelangn din alam mo lahat ng nilagay nyo sa docs...

dressing up does help pro its not necessary. just make sure ur presentable. ur demeanor when you walk thru the door matters more(nung interview ko inisip ko n lng was that i have nothing to hide kya bkit ako matatakot sa knila, and besides ako yng gagastos sa bansa nila. hahaha....)

...may mga consul na mukhang masungit pro usually sinasadya lng nila yun to throw applicants off guard. pg hindi ka nmn natakot and magustuhan nila first impression nila s'yo hindi ka nila msyado kukulitin. dun p lng nkpgdecide n kgd cla if they'll approve ur application. formalities n lng yng interview. nkktawa yng sa mama ko kse mga tanong ng consul puro tungkol sa suot nya (she makes clothes for a living kse). preho kmi 10 year multiple entry. these days, that consul gets in touch with her pg my gusto syang pagawa na dresses or gowns. hahaha....

oo nga pla, make sure you say ur courtesies and drop a simple compliment before you sit down....
