WAITING FOR INVITATION/ NOMINATION

MidnightPanda12

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.
