ITA4WTR

I had a series of unfortunate events last week (na-hit&run sasakyan ko, nag-rapture appendix ng dad ni Henry, problem @ work, etc.). But that was last week; nabawi ko ng lahat yon. Monday morning, I went to the post office to pickup a registered mail. Nang iabot sa akin yung sobre medyo ninerbyos ako. Envelope kasi yon ng NZIS Bangkok. Pagbukas ko, laking tuwa ko nang makita ko na nasa harap ko na yung pinakaaasam-asam naming resulta. Di man yon approval for PR, swerte na rin na meron kaming invitation to apply (ITA) for Work-to-Residence (WTR) visa.

Nakasulat sa letter na deferred yung aming PR dahil walang kaming job offer. This will only be awarded to us if principal applicant after 3 months of work in NZ. Di acceptable yung gasoline boy, cab driver and the likes. It has to be relevant to his qualifications/ work experience. Siguro naman sa 2.5yrs na WTR visa na ibibigay nila, makakahanap na ng trabaho non si Henry.

Kung pwede lang sanang ipadala na agad yung application form namin, gagawin ko na agad. Ang kaso mo, magpapakita pa kami ng ‘show money’. Dapat kasi may funds kami sa bangko na enough to support us for 3 months in NZ. Ito ang medyo mabigat kasi NZ$1000/month per person yon or NZ$12000 for the entire family. Kung may pre-paid accommodation, $400/month per person na lang yon. Di ko sure kung pwede rito yung accommodation sa bahay nung friend ko.

God is really good. Kung may times na minamalas ka, pinapabawi ka naman nya sa ibang araw. Salamat po!
