How did you handle po if mgrequest neto si DHA once invited? i used to pay voluntarily sa bayad centers before. gawa ka ng online account so you can check your payments. once may account ka na, screenshot mo lang yung buong web page to show your contributions including months, year, etc. actually, sa skills assessment pa lang, under payment evidence, kelangan mo na ipakita yung taxes and gov't contributions. (at least for ACS)

Hi everyone! Tanong ko lang po if any of you have knowledge regarding this. Plano sana namin umuwi ng Pinas this January since may mga kaganapan sa family, at the same time din konting bakasyon. Now we are still on 482 Visas and mag eexpire this March. Would immigration allow us to exit Philippines with one month visa validity available? Currently waiting for 190 invite or nomination approval for 186. Thanks sa makakasagot.

Hi, asking on behalf of my client….for those who have used review centres, which one would you recommend? TIA

> @aidann said: > > @mathilde9 said: > > > @aidann said: > > > Australia Express is a scam immigration company. My research shows they are not located in Australia as they claim but are actually based in Israel. Operating under the name “Be There” and owned by Roy Perez, Adam, and Naftali Brady, they’re situated at Galgalei HaPlada 6, Herzliya, Israel. They falsely present themselves as Australian by using local phone numbers, but there are no MARA-registered agents involved. It seems they are deliberately deceiving people, using these tactics to fraudulently take advantage of clients. > > > . > > > > It states on their website the MARA registration numbers of their "partner" consultants in Jordan and NSW, verified in mara portal. May mga ganong business models kasi yata. I guess there are other migration agencies that do not have offices in Australia. So should be okay? Did you specifically encounter any problem with this agency? Can you share so that we can be enlightened? Thanks. Most of these agencies naman are legit in terms of registration, madalas nga lang sa kanila nagoover commit kasi and wala nang cadence once nagsign up at nagbayad na yung client. > > > Hello again, > > Please be aware that you should only work directly with qualified MARA agents for your immigration process. As a client, it’s essential that you communicate directly with your MARA agent and sign a contract that outlines a clear payment plan reflecting your individual process, with guarantees regarding your visa. > > Were you provided with a contract like this? Have you had direct communication with your MARA agent? I agree. Unfortunately there are also those scrupulous agents who get paid by these businesses just so they can use the registration on their website. Not until you speak to the agent directly, be very careful before you engage such business. Also, a responsible MARA agent should provide you with the Code of Conduct, consumer guide, 956 form from the very start. If you’ve not received such then it’s telling of how they work.

When lodging EOI that's when I realized the system will only count the last 10 years of your employment kahit you have more beyond that. Salamat po!
