    @prvnmali Hi, I'm on the same boat as you. Same occupation, same age, same points, and same way we got the points. Lol

    No one can tell for certain but if they release a bunch of invites again for 2613 then you most probably will since the last 2613 that was invited was April 20, 2016 with 65pts. So you're just 6 days on the backlog.

    @tobz Matagal talaga antayan sa pro rata occupations. Pag dating ng 1st round of August mga 2.5 months na ako nag aantay. Tiwala lang. :) Our time will come. :D

    @mimic Hay nako, sinabi mo pa! Dito sa office kapag tapos na ako sa work nag aanalyze ako ng trend ganyan. Pangpalipas oras. Tapos magpapamedical na ako this Friday or next Monday. :))

    @thisisme1 Alam mo hindi ko rin alam bakit ganyan yung EOI ko eh. Nabasa ko dati dito sa forum kapag nag update ng EOI or dagdag nagbabago Date Of Effect pero yung akin hindi eh. Buti na lang. Sayang rin yung araw kung magbago eh. Try mo rin kung gusto mo. :) Tsaka si @allej accountant siya tapos 70pts above yung priority sakanila ngayon. Parang tayo diba 65pts above priority sa 2613.

    @mjcrena Hey, wala pa release DIBP but if the trend continues baka 1st and 3rd week Wednesday. Although 5 Wednesdays kasi sa August so puwede rin sa 2nd and 4th Wednesday. I'll update the thread kapag lumabas na July 20 results. Lalabas rin next invitation rounds by then. :)
