thAnk you. That was indeed a very sensible advice., yes, I have a fulfilling job here but the salary that I am getting is extremely low. I have been trying to apply online but it seems no luck so far. Nevertheless, I am still hopeful that I could be able to find one. yes, my friend grace told me I should have atleast 65k pesos to show at the immigration. I have saved for it. my problem is really for my sponsor. Is it really hard to find an employer that will transfer my visit visa to working? is the chance very little? I am confident with my skills and experience but I always have this fear in my heart coz this is the first time that I'll be leaving the country. I really hope things will turn out for the best.. ThAnk you again.
