Makisagot na nga lng po. Sa tingin ko nde naman Ganun katagal ma in vite lalo na SS. In my case, I opted for 189 but less than a month after I lodged EOI may nag email na for state sponsorship. Kelan po na kau ng lodge EOI?
AKO nga I was invited a day before my birthday where I would have lost same points as you if I hadn't been invited.
Keep the faith! It will come!
Good luck !
