May ishashare pala ako, baka makatulong. Before ko mareceive yung IMMI Assessment Commence Letter, nagsend ako ng Feedback kahit within the 8-11 months pa ang case ko. Yung reason ko, may job opportunity sa akin na naghihintay. Based sa HR na nakausap ko (interviewed na din pala ako ng hiring manager and director), visa na lang talaga yung kulang. Nag risk ako to make an appeal kasi until January lang yung opening nila and needed nila badly yung headcount. Dumating yung commence letter nung Monday and nung nagbasa basa ako, sabi ng iba parang CO contact din daw yun kaya medyo nadown ako. Pero prayers pa din and eto na nga, dumating na kanina yung grant.
Napakalaking tulong ng connections since yung mga former colleague ko, andun sila and may nagresign na tao. Nirefer nila ako and tuloy tuloy na.
Nagresign na din pala ako sa work and target ko to be there sa 3rd week ng January. Talagang bilisan lang and very grateful kami kay Lord!
