    Haha dude! Welcome to the forums! Yeah ako din, finally got things started, Ako natagalan ako sa RPL, took me over 6 months nainspire lang nung nagka-visa yung dating officemate natin. Goodluck sa process mo, pretty sure masmabilis processing mo dahil sa credentials mo. Anong target mo na state?

    Melborne din kasi target ko pre, nasa VIC naman un, tsaka need ko additional 5 points kaya ngpaSS ako. Sabi masmabilis daw pagSS pero kung kaya mo naman mag189 magganun ka na lang or pwede din naman dalawa piliin mo sa EOI 189 and 190.
