I wondered if you would mind telling me about your decision to refuse your first invite to the Pacific. Seems like it isn't common for applicants to do, so I'm curious. How did you refuse and still remain "flexible" in the eyes of PC since that's what they request again and again. Hope you don't mind me asking, but I'm really curious!
ReplyDeleteHi Leslie! Let me give you some more detail on that situation: My original nomination was for a SSA November departure. In August, I received an e-mail saying that they had some unexpected openings for early October in the Pacific Islands, and would I be interested and available for that earlier date? They were not actually issuing me an invitation for that, rather they were just inquiring about my possible earlier availability/interest. In the e-mail it also said "If you are not available to depart during this earlier timeframe, your application will remain under consideration for your original nomination." So, I wrote back saying "Thank you for considering me for an earlier departure date for the Pacific Islands. However, after much consideration, I have decided that I would prefer to remain with my original nomination for Sub Saharan Africa and departure date for November." I never heard back from that PO or any other, but was issued my invitation for SSA November 4 days later. I think that due to the fact that they were asking for an earlier timeframe and had not actually issued an invitation yet, it did not look bad of me to turn it down. Hope this helps!
ReplyDeletethat makes sense! thanks!!! Good luck and travel well!
