    Hi guys! I really want to proceed with my General Skilled Migrant Visa application. Ive been contacted by ACN and waiting for my schedule when to approve the contract and explained me everything including the process and the service fee. Now I inquire at Respall and they are inviting me for 1-on-1, with consultation fee already before discussing the process (which is available online), and their rate. Anyone here who can suggest an agent? Thank you.

    Hi, I had my assessment with Respall around August-Sept last year. The assessment went well naman, they laid out options and explained the process. Their fee is 170k, mag-isa lang ako mag-apply. Back then I found it cheaper kasi yun isang napagtanungan ko package can amount to 500k. I just had to postpone my plans kasi I was advised to complete 6years of experience to hopefully get a much higher points pag nagpa-assess na sa ACS. I thought madami pa pwede mangyari in almost a year while waiting to add up experience though tempted na ako because if you sign with them within a certain period you can pay them in 4 parts and mas magaan yun compared sa 2 parts na payment.

    I am now looking for agent with a much affordable fee. As much as kaya ko naman siguro and cheaper to apply on my own, I want to make sure that I have everything covered and docs are properly written.

    I've tried the eligibility test ng Visa Consort, still waiting for their feed back. Meron pa po ba ibang agents that you can suggest?

    Thanks!!

    @hope4dbest which form was yours? I can ask my Visa Consort team to look into recent submissions if you have not had a reply yet. The office was closed for the holidays and just went back to operations yesterday.

    Hello, just wanted to share... I availed the services of Respall to help me with my migration sa Australia. So far very happy naman po ako sa service Nila. Very professional and they guided me every step of the way. Total price Nila is 170k. Pero hindi naman sya one time big time. It was split into 4 payments, so that helped manage the expenses... Depende Kung nasa an phase na NG processing ang bayad. Right now, Waiting for visa grant na kami NG family ko. Hopefully, lumabas na sya soon :)

    @czianczia28 hello, Tama po si @cucci regarding the visa fees. Kulang kulang na php600k ang nagastos ko in total. That includes the agent fee, visa fees, assessment fees, IELTS, PTE. I had to take both IELTS and PTE to get to 70pts. Long story but nakuha din naman. Pero as @batman mentioned, you can do it on ur own naman. That can easily save you php150k sa agent fees :)

    @gelangel case to case basis po yun, depende po sa situation and case ng isang client, the term "SURE" is not applicable kahit pa po sinong agent. W/ agent, mas guided accordingly nga lang ang isang client na binabase nila sa expertise nila bilang isang Registered Agent nga, kum ba ga, w/ registered agent, mas makakatulog ka kung tama ba ang mga reqts mo at on the spot alam mo na din agad kung anung klaseng mga reqts ang kakailanganin mo now and in the future.

    @gelangel you have 3 questions

    1. Respall - hindi ko po na try but my friend previous form SG cya, Respall kinuha nya, that was way back 2012 ata I remember the EOI was just newly implemented. Ok naman pero mahal daw talaga.

    2. Is it really worth it sila? haha i don't have the right to comment. but i can speak for my own opinion: You can find others na lesser rate with the same level of service. matagal na kasi sila Respall so automatic nauna sila.

    3. Answer is high chance yes, kasi yan ang expertise nila, pero depende pa rin sa agent mo, may competent and hindi, may na ririnig rin akong mga horror stories so please choose wisely.

    Hiring migration agent doesn't mean sure visa na. They are just there to assist you the proper documentation to submit sa assessment at sa visa application etc. Its the immigration that will decide for the visa based on the documents submitted.

    @gelangel, spot on with @batman. As agents, we can’t do magic for any clients. We can’t guarantee a success since we are not the decision makers but what we can guarantee is a much smoother process for you and presenting a decision ready application. Similar to hiring lawyers where they will fight a good fight for your case but nothing is guaranteed as the judge will decide in the end.

    Don’t even engage an agent and spend money on professional fees if your expectation would be a sure thing as that’s not the purpose of hiring one. And if you encounter an agent who guarantees this, you need to walk away from that person as that’s unethical practice and you would not be serviced properly.
