Hi, Erwin, (or maybe info to others as well). I tried asking BVC again if I could shift to Disability Diploma program (from 1 yr to 2 years), and the reply was the downpayment I gave, 1,500, was non-transferrable (which I didn't know)
, and that the seats for the Disability course is almost full. So, if I change my program, I will loose the downpayment, in short, back to zero. But, I was given an option. I can finish my current program for one year, then, apply for another certificate course. According to bvc, this will allow 2 years of pgwp. Oh well, I'll have to take that option, and hope for the best sa extension ng student visa.
