Saan po ba nagpapasa ng EOI? Sa DHA or sa state na mag nonominate?
Sorry po nalilito ako.. may nabasa kasi ko ipasa raw eoi via skill select
Then obtain nomination... naconfused po ko bigla.. baka po kasi mamaya ma invite ako ng DHA tapos hindi pa pala ako nominated ng state. (sorry ewan ko po kung possible mangyari yon or overthinking haha)
