    Mga Software Engineers na kababayan, share-an naman tayo ng update dito.

    As of now, waiting pa rin ako ng CO. Mga 37 days na ako nag-hihintay pero front-loaded na lahat ng documents ko. Ang kinakatakot ko lang ay baka mas matagal pa ako mag-hintay.

    According sa Visa Tracker natin, https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/18d1OUvt_9wyGxVrUu-12aoo8evhMKwGFHrf2smAaoU4/edit?pli=1#gid=0 usually ay mga 25-35 days lang ang hinihintay ng mga Visa 189 applicants until ma-allocate-an sila ng CO. But I think, sa dami siguro ng nag-apply ng 261313, ay mas mabagal ang allocation.

    Share na lang tayo ng updates mga tropa, para ma-track natin ang trend sa ating job code. Thanks!

    kapatid @araead , ask ko lang kung ilan yung EOI points mo. Halos pareho kasi tayo ng timeline at malaki chance na pareho tayo ng date ng CO Allocation/Grant. Sa EOI Points lang siguro magkakatalo.

    Si @Naruto kasi, 261313 rin na nag-apply nung May pero wala pa syang CO until now. Not sure tuloy kung ano dahilan kung bakit yung ibang Software Engineer applicants ay na-a-allocatean ng CO ng maaga (like @kenshushei and @tuchul na both 65 pts).

    Thanks ulit!

    @retake
    Sa SG din ako bro, tanong ko lang kung yung NBI clearance mo sa pinas mo kinuha? Or via embassy here in SG? Yung certicate of clearance sa SG, hindi ba pwede mag apply kung wala pa acknowledgement letter? Thanks in advance!

    Thanks for the input kapatid! @jr17sg

    Waiting pa rin ako ng Visa Grant, mukhang may katagalan ito compared sa iba.

    Mga tol, mukhang mas priority nga talaga ang 190 applicants compared sa 189. Base sa kabilang forum, marami nang direct grants for July 190 applicants. Yung mga 189 applicants naman, mga June 1 - 10 na yung pina-process:
