Hi, anybody here losing hope of ever getting an invitation or nomination from AU? Labas mo sama ng loob mo sa universe at sa Pilipinas dito. Haha. Jk.
On a more serious note, I’ve been waiting for almost a year na din. Recent 189 invites for my profession (Agricultural Engineer 233912 is 95 points sa 189), I currently have 85 points. This coming October I’ll have additional 5 points from having 8 years of experience. So I got that to look forward.
On the edge on getting that NAATI certificate but sobrang nawawalan na ako ng pag-asa. Worse is I might get passed on again tapos baka next year tumaas na sa 100 points yung occupational ceiling sa amin. Hayss.
I just really wanna get out of the Philippines na, I know that I’m putting a lot of my eggs like 10/12 into AU. I don’t have any generational wealth to back into. I’m all doing these on my measly income. Thinking that I could all get it back once I get that golden visa. Pero there are times na sobrang mapapaisip ka na lang if I’m just throwing money into nothing..
Well, I got 1/2 years into my EA skills assessment until I pay another for renewal - still paying that badboy every month kasi kinaskas lang. Lol. And I got 1/3 years into that PTE scores. Time is still my friend pero it is also a bitch. Had I been a year earlier (wayback 2022), when 189 invites rain like there was no tomorrow baka onshore na din ako.
Like many hopefuls, I hope we all receive our well deserved invites and grants. I know that there will be realists and harsh comments that might flood here sending reality checks such as: well di ka dapat umasa sa di sigurado, or it is a privilege not a right, or other hateful comments. We are all dreamers, we all hoped for a better future. I’m just hoping…
Spread love.. Let us hope that this holiday season matupad na yung gift na hinihiling natin.
Kapit lang.
