QUOTE(Shyuejer @ Aug 14 2014, 08:34 PM) Hey I have a question here: Did the visa application officer ask you all to show your financial affidavit? Apparently some people don't have to do so and my friend say we can apply for visa/ set up a interview time first before getting the financial guarantee from our sponsors. hey! have you applied your visa? can i apply for the visa before getting financial guarantee from my sponsor and without showing financial affidavit? since we're consider a low risk country. Thanks!

Thanks!  The three most important documents for you are your passport, TB examination results and your FA. So no, you gotta get your FA before applying.

Thanks!  My visa is awaiting to be dispatched  You should submit your FA and even a photocopy will do - I was asked if I wanna keep my original - so I guess u better urge ur sponsor to at least email u a FA.

Thanks!  From my experience , you do not need financial evidence in a way because they dint ask from me.I also asked them and they said it's not a required document because we are low priority.however ,it did state that we should posses the evidence in case they required it.If u have to wait very long for your financial evidence ,I say u should just go for the appointment and worst case scenario is they ask for your financial evidence ,u just set another appointment date with your financial evidence

Hi guys,
Just to clarify something here. I've seen people saying that UK is quite strict on copyrights.
Example: If you're using Pirated Microsoft products, printing shop will most like to reject the printing job. Is it true?

Better dun use pirated things or software.

hey, any students here taking emirates? My friend who booked thru a travel agent told me there's an additional baggage allowance of 10kg but somehow when i contacted the KL office, they told me that there isn't one. I have already booked mine, which was through their website, and i'm hoping to get this allowance as well, just in case, cause overweight baggage is freaking expensive lol. thanks in advance

I had two jabs (meningitis and influenza) at Klinik Catarell Khoo near KL Sentral during my health check. Both the jabs and the health check aren't compulsory though.

I have MS Office 365 (genuine, still wrapped in the box) for sale for RM90 if anyone is interested
