Nakita ko ang waiting time sa ITA ng System Analyst kapag 65 pts ay 31 weeks. May mga questions ako please.
1. Kung para makatanggap ng EOI pa lang sa may 65 pts ay 31 weeks na, gaano katagal kung 60 points lang?
May pag-asa pa ba ang mga may 60 pts sa System Analyst na ma invite pa?
EDITED
2. After mag lodge ng EOI o magsubmit ng visa application, pwede bang mag resign sa work na pinagbasehan ng points ko at tsaka mag stay sa ibang bansa habang naghihintay ng invite o pinaprocess yung application ko?
O kailangan hindi ako umalis sa work ko na pinagbasehan ng points ko o sa bansa na kung saan ako naglodge ng EOI/nag apply? O pwede at kailangan ko lang sila iupdate?
3. What if kailangan ko na magresign bago ako nakapag lodge ng EOI o nainvite mag apply, pwede parin ba ako mag lodge ng EOI/magsubmit ng application kung resigned na
sa work pinagbasehan ng points ko at tsaka mag stay sa ibang bansa habang naghihintay ng invite o pinaprocess yung application ko?
Maraming salamat!

Like i said in my earlier posts. There have been some co contacts recently, yet few grants. If you look at the trend before July 2016, many who got grants in the 1st week of july also had co contacts. If I were you, I ll immediately provide all the necessary information to enable the CO work on the application till its decision ready. In july, more grants will flow and I hope and believe you will get yours then.

I think it would be best to have your status consistent or steady from EOI til grant to avoid discrepancies of information during the process. No issue if employed or unemplyed as long as consistent ang status mo throughout the whole process.
Though there could be changes na di maiiwasan along the process, it may create stress for u and/or delay the process.
I think the most crucial part for changes is from invite to grant kasi this is the period where ichecheck and iveverify talaga nila ung mga details na pinrovide mo from your EOI.

Now ang worry ko lang is yung sinasabi mo nga @Strader na magrerequest pa ng new info.
OR possible ba na manghingi sila ng updated docs mo like police clearance or employment certs bec it's been a few months na since visa lodging at outdated na mga docs na pinasa naten. I hope not, kasi hindi naman naten kasalanan kung maging outdated, kasi sila matagal magprocess. let's hope for the best.
a year from now, you will wish you had started today
