should you go back to pinas?

my friend with no regular paper was asked by his employer in italy to go back in philippines to arrange his documents for a direct hire purpose so as to regularize his work status in italy.

my excited friend, carrying all his required documents went back to pinas.

but after several back and forth at the italian embassy, my poor friend has to wait...what? till when? what else do they need? will there be hope of getting my visa? and so many other boggling questions on his mind...

till it blows! is this what the embassy wants? thank you very much!

i really dont understand how's the system in our country with regards to ofws, those embassy's treatment to our ofws. are they suppose to be helping them out? hello?!!

and for the employer, they have all the responsiblities to help my friend out there!

they should at least support them, emotionally and financially while they're waiting for the timeless release of their visa, if there will ever be...

i've been there in pinas for 5 months. im telling you, without any source of income and you have families to support and with all those problems and non- stop increase of prices...and...and...and.......

you just want to get out of pinas!!!

(lucky me, my boss supported me, us.)

just merely talking to my loosing a hope friend, giving advices and moral support and some other options to do, would somehow ease his sooo troubled mind, at least.

however, there were lots of pinoys who successfully did the same process. bravo!!!how did they do that? they tried and took the risk!


to other kabayans who are thinking of going home for the same reason, think 77 times, with our corrupt system, it's too risky and expensive!!!

decision is yours...

hey, maybe he needs to wait, maybe the boss do not have much weight to hire people, what work ba? is the boss been declaring peoplein Italy?

Inis nga, but he should not go home in the first place. Its one way to get rid of illegal immigrants.
In France, they dont go home, they give a visa and papers after without going home.

One thing, have you consider the steps for your son 's visa to Europe?

hi sis amy. got 2 friends there actually with almost the same situation and i guess it's the first time that their employers do that process of hiring, they want my friends to continue working for them sure so they tried to help them out.kaya ayun uwi naman agad sila. hay wawa nga e.

about my son's visa, 2yrs ago i enrolled him in alliance francais in nice, france. since he already studied in makati alliance francais, it's just continuation of his french language studies. ok na sana, the school sent all the registration papers but my son didnt filled it out, nasayang yung tuition fee which i already paid. so that's for student visa right?

but now im not sure if he wants to take french language course again, i guess not. so yeah maybe he'll get tourist visa, kasi gusto nya tour sa sem break lang.

problem is i dont have time to process the docs, etc. now since im already here on the boat and be back there in france in september na po.

anyway, i'll check your tourist visa blog again and start whatever i can do online. thanks sis.
