I have been in search of an agent before yung tipong kaya ng bulsa, agents are more sincere to help, at yung alam mong concern sa situation mo at hahanap ng way para maging positive ang apply. Unang inquire ko sa Respall nagulat ako sa laki ng professional fee kaya i decided na ako na lang mag asikaso. unang mistake, di ako nag check sa iba pa.
Sipag at tiyaga lang kailang at madaming oras na spend sa pag babasa at research. Luckily for me after like 7 years sa forum nato na memorize ko na ang procedure hangang EOI (for my nominated occupation lang). Second mistake nag procrastinate ako.
Akala ko noon pag may EOI na oks na. Nasa EOI stage ako for 2 years walang invite, sabi ko i need to do something para gumalaw ang application ko. I was considering that time na din about 489, problem is sa nominated occupation ko (external auditor) yung NSW needs local experience, TAS need ng job offer, SA need ng high points like 80 that time, at NT need ng show money. So NSW out of equation na agad kasi di ko ma comply for sure while oversease. SA naman additional cost pag increase ng points so and madaling way lang is NT at TAS, all i need is mag ipon at mag apply online hoping and praying may mag bigay ng job offer. Si TAS hindi ako naka kuha ng job offer. Si NT on the other hand after 2 years waiting ng invite naka ipon ako ng show money for a family of 4, at nagwa ko na din ang research sa NT kaya nag apply na ako. Luckily i got invite.
Pano napasok si Visa consort? noong naka pagpasa na ako ng NT application may nabasa ako post ni @RheaMARN1171933 about sa met up nila with NT people at nag discuss about selection process sa mga offshore applicants. She was accommodating enough sharing what are the tips in submitting application sa NT at ano hinhanap nila sa mga applications. based on her feedback mukhang na cover ko naman lahat yung mga tips nya sa research at essay na pinasa ko sa NT. Then i learned na agent din si Ms Rhea. So i made a consulation appointment with her. After our talk, Sabi ko pa sana nakilala ko na sya dati siguro mas napadali ang visa application ko sa AU. Ang dami ko kasi time wasted hangang sa nag higpitan na sa application. So i agree with her to get her services for my application. I have to option that time, we can wait for the NT application result or I can engage with her now and check for other options. We opt to wait for my NT application and what ever the outcome tsaka na ako mag commit to engage with her as my agent.
Last week of April 2018 i got my 489 visa invitation to apply.. and visa consort take over and continued my visa processing...
Now waiting for visa grant na lang kami...
